Mog next then! emoji848.pngemoji6.pngemoji23.png you’ll need deep pockets for that!

Slowly getting there... I'll stick up a few pics when I've done something worthy. It does need some TLC but it keeps on going.

All it really needs is a new set of tyres...

And a lick of paint, a few panels, an engine overhaul, new chip body, shock absorbers, uprated springs, a better front linkage, maybe a clutch, new brakes, couple of air tanks, a few pipes and hoses, some sound proofing, better lights. Not much really... 

Mogs, all the comfort of an old tractor, all the running costs of an old mercedes.

More refined but certainly not as quick.

im just getting used to it 

Not as quick but more power/breakout? Or just not a quick with similar power?

 

I steered clear of the E27z as the E27 wasn't much more tail overhang but had plenty more HP.

 

Hows the little 1.7t machine going?

Loads of power, not as quick on the controls but I'll be honest ive slowed down a lot and getting more done.

  The thumb is amazing!  I'll hardly use the grab now unless It's branches for chipping.

 

I only had the 1.7t for 2 months, then swapped it fir tracked dumper as contracts changed and it was more suited at the time

I’ve always found old Mercedes reliable with little cost what went wrong with mogs

Nothing went wrong, it's just 35 years old and gets worked hard. 

Theres no denying that parts are expensive for them. As I said, it keeps going. Just time for some refurbishment if I want it to continue earning me money and hold its value
