MB TRAC 1000 Complete Front Linkage

Hi Guys,

Looking for some advice from any MB Trac experts..

I am trying to figure out how to put a front linkage onto our machine, it has never been fitted with a front linkage and so I believe we will need to purchase the entire kit.

Can anybody advise me on what type of linkage to get, approximate costs or components required to make the linkage?

Are there any particular types of linkage we should be looking for, or would a standard front linkage with top link be sufficient to carry implements?

Also, is it difficult to get the front PTO working? As far as i'm aware there is a front PTO on our machine, which has a cap over the end and is located just above the hydraulic tank at the front of the radiator.

Any thoughts most welcome..

should be a lever in cab same as a mog for front or rear pto.. we've got a MB trac 1000 with a demount sprayer on, its got front linkage and the pump for sprayer is mounted on it...

Mat if you pull a lever back for the rear pto then try putting it forward for the front.

You'll need a reversing gearbox to run anything other than Merc specific implements, try Atkinson Vos or AC Price

Ok, think I've worked out it has deffinatley got a front linkage now.. I think it will need an extension but thats no biggy.

Still no further forward on a front linkage kit though

Go to your nearest Merc Commercial dealer you should be able to order the front link parts over the counter. Looking at my MB Trac manual you will need to quote SA T 36 144 which details all the front linkage parts.

Cheers John,

I'll try the merc guys in Inverness.

Sometimes they're pretty good on parts actually.. often have to get them in from germany but have been (alot) cheaper than some of the unimog guys in the past.

Did you get fixed up if not try

Do you have any spare MB Trac tyres. Looking for some new boots but dont need brand new.

No spare tyres I'm afraid.... Could do with a couple of new ones on the front of ours, the 1k each price tag puts me off a bit... Could do with a set of chains too.
