for all you folks with mogs out there, heres a link to a site( its not a con honest, its a russian site) with a copy of the mercedes epc(electronic parts catalouge), if you persevere it will display most of the parts for most of the mogs, the parts no's are good, gives you somewhere to start at your merc dealer....lol (Ýëåêòðîííûé êàòàëîã çàï÷àñòåé Mercedes-Benz // Àíàëîã EWA NET (EPC, WIS))

 

Whats your views on the quote before yours regarding the sub frame of the tipping body being welded ono the chassis..?

Cheers

Chris

hi J the Tree, the last photo is a little bit deceptive, the bottom of the chip box is built onto a proper mog "spider", and the base that holds the tipper balls is a proper subframe with the 3 point mounting, its actually got some ally 5 bar covering up most of the vunerable pipes and components when the box is tipped, its been a very well thought out box build, the bar you can see on the back between the balls is really just a belt and braces, a nice touch as ive seen some of them twisted if a lot of heavy loads are repeatedly tipped to one side only

Nice one Chris, I'll look out for you next time I'm home.

 

Well done.

I'll try mate, it's manic when I get home mind. Be really nice to head down to The Diamond in Pont for a pint in that beauty.

 

You can drive!

Mmmm, quite agree photos can be very deceptive- looks like an ex water board tanker tractor unit

I know Paul well enough. He's asked Lorna to throw me out enough times!

J, had thoughts that it might have been an ex council one, it got the full extras package, very highly speced, usually only them that go that far, after all, its not there money!!!
