Ian's Unimog build thread.

[John Shutler]

No they don't.

 

Old worn diesels Smoke alot at idle.

Most Mogs are old and worn.

No recon or fresh engine in a Mog will smoke,beleive me.

 

my mog smokes alot less than it did with its old engine. the ammount of oil it used to use is scarey

[casto]

They also smoke if they sit just ticking over for long periods like hiab work or stand idle for a while as well. Should clear after a bit, unless it's been tweaked, no poke with out smoke

[eddiegts]

I get a little bit of smoke first thing in the morning but that clears after about 5 minutes. My first u1000 smoked really bad similar amount to yours Ian then it went bang

[IRE David H]

sounds similer to a tractor if used for slo tick over jobs, solution there would be to work the tractor hard, ploughing as this will clean the bores, try and do something similer with unimog.

[Ian Flatters]

Been doing bits at night with rob but nothing of note. I've got a guy to look over the engine next week so that's the next part really.

 

Only took a picture of the rims and tyres together.

i like the use of the ratchet strap in the frame fabrication - presumably to pull it in square

 

i'd go up the tree on that crane, even quicker than the ladder

Indeed i have, but thats what happens when someone makes a good offer. Everything has a price Al.

 

The farmers son who bought it has continued the project for his tree company.

 

Me on the other hand, a lorry is next.
