Fixing the Unimog 416! - And looking at all the other promblems? 

Well, we all look forward to the ongoing project that this mog is going to be. I was explaining to my wife this morning why I love your chanel, and that's because of the great way you explain what you're doing and why. Your humour is just a bonus.

3:45 Rust flakes, grass and bicycles. LOL

It may be a long way from perfect but it's more than I have, so lucky you! Run it and have fun!

After that extensive list, all I can say is, if anybody can give it the love it deserves, it is you. Can't wait for the video series devoted to it.

"...to take the really big stuff like rust flakes, grass or bicycles". Just can't stop laughing... Great video yet again!

Lovely re-built/care to the old girl. Thank you for sharing.

👍👌👏 I'm really glad to see that the running issue has only been some clogged up fuel filters. The first one even looked as if a bit of water was in there. Maybe all the smoking is also caused by a not big enough air filter? 2) This old girl definitely needs a bit TLC. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health.

Given that the tank is so dirty - and driving it on rough ground is going to churn all that muck up and send it to the filters - it may save some money next time to discard the first filter, move the (relatively clean) second one into its place, and then put a single new filter into the second filter housing - rinse and repeat until you get time to clean out the bicycles from your tank 🙂 Just an idea I've heard suggested on other channels.

There are a hundred things I could tell you are doing right. But I want to ask just one thing: Don't stop making videos. It is so interesting. Make Videos about everything you do on every project. I want to see it.

Like a yacht in rough weather, crazy angles send the gunk straight to the pickup. Dirty job but a satisfying one!

Man I miss working on a mog well designed not always easy to work on but dead on reliable if maintained, thanks for uploads!

That fuel needs a serious dose of algicide :) But I guess these old mogs can run on squashed bugs so a 50/50 fuel blend of stale diesel and live algae is a high octane bonus, haha.

When you apear on the shot with that hammer, the picture that i have in my mind of a soviet guy fixing a broken truck came alive hahaha only a cigarret on the corner of the mouth was missing if it wasent for that it would be 10/10 lol

Very interesting, this must have been the grandfather to the ones we had in the Australian Army. They were very square cabs and the conversion to RHD was just a simple set of universal joints and rods across the cabin at knee height with a piece of black trim to cover it. Fine for the driver...Bollocks for the passengers. Our were a strange conglomeration of two x four speed for an eight speed gearbox if you wanted to drive like that. A forward /Neutral / Reverse lever mounted at the cab rear along with the PTO selector and if equipped the Dump truck weight load indicator. On the dash was the air pressure controlled four wheel drive selector, 2 wheel /4 wheel high / 4 wheel low / and full diff lock 4 wheel. Load carry was 4.5 metric ton cross country, and that does not mean follow a trail. 😂😂They were dry element air filters also, and I think from memory we received our first ones around 1997. The only two things I really dislike about them was the fact they were governed to 80 / 85 km/h and the smell of the exhaust fumes...they were lethal and stuck to your clothes, even if you walked past one.

I can never get tired of this

I have a friend here in Jutland who has a 1986. 416. Discs all around and only 10.000 km on it, its been stored for the last 15 years, my dream is to buy it one day when he wants to sell it and find a radiobox to put on it and use it for a camper/bug out truck 😉 we had it started a few years back with a stuck clutch, it was quite interresting for the first few meters in his barn 😂

30 years ago I helped a man doing up his Unimog. Everyday I cycled into town where his Unimog was parked half on the sidewalk on a busy street. That is where we did all kinds of work on it, including welding. It was the worst location to do this kind of work, but it was what it was. He was going to Africa, and therefor he build a wooden 'caravan'-box on the back to live in. With a rubber corridor to connect the cab with his living space. He had two spare tyres on the cab-roof, and two heavy metal boxes fitting on the rear. Jerrycans were toed on all sides. Extra trays welded onto the frame. More and more stuff on the 'caravan' roof. The Unimog was clearly way too overloaded, and I suggested he cut down on the add-ons. He was stubborn and I resorted to just help him and not give anymore advice. I remember waving him good-bye when he drove off. It was top-heavy, and when he took a corner the whole thing swayed like crazy. Later I heard that he actually managed to get to Africa, after throwing out a lot of his stuff. So, still, he made it and he ended up giving the Unimog a lot of good use there.

Thanks for the update , good luck with your light problems ahah cheers

So the 416 was your first off road vehicle?! Way to dive in bro!! I havent gotten anything done lately because ive been watching all the world cup... final on sunday!!!

Love your channel and your attitude towards these project trucks. Glad the problem was as simple as some 💩 in the filters and not more dire (like the injection pump)

1 man, a couple of Unimogs, 1000s happy viewers.

Living in an area with winter, I too have used a "door opening hammer"! Looking forward to see what you do with your 'Mog.

It's great to see it running again 👍 When you will be working on the fuel tank, you might consider electric rust removal, electrolysis I think in English, a bit of soda, water, anode and battery charger or other supply and get back a clean inside of the fueltank. Be careful, the gas that will develop is explosive 😉

Wait! you let me watch all of this awesome video before you tell me the rims are not original?You are technically a criminal. I love your mog anyway. It is amazing. Just as your video about it. You bloody criminal.

Can't wait to see the rebuild series

The UNIMOG 416 is an excellent vehicle.

Great video, good information, thanks. Keep up the good work!

👍👍👍

Love that channel, did you knew that on those double fuelfiltered OM s are possible to use two different Ffilters, ’rough and smooth’ and one of a kind is original way. First rough and secondary smooth Br Pekka 🇫🇮 421, 416 and 437

I am glad I am not the only that had deal with frozen doors.

I hope this rebuild start soon, I'm glad to see it. Why don't swap the engine and put some turbo one? It will be the perfect upgrade for this mog

haha nice door opener!!!! so lucky I would take that UNIMOG in any condition the motor will burn oil like a piggy and still perform for yearsss and the big job is your portal axles and main axles as they take fffing beating but I love your little warthog!!! sounds awesome even with all the work it needs..... for the cab get some carbon fibre sheets ....making molds you can pre heat with steam and press is easy as you seem to be resourceful but this baby has the gear package I would want 4 sure!!!

Este é o motor mais conhecido aqui no Brasil, o OM352. É utilizado numa infinidade de aplicações desde os anos 70.

I use electrolysis to clean the inside of motorcycle gas tanks with good success. Plenty of videos available

Aaaw look at my poor gal!? Bwadr! Hummertrækkeri ;-)

i drove my Pinzgauer today, i went on a firewood run.

nice

hope you get some snow to play around in.

Did I hear you correctly? Are bicycles a source of fuel problems in your neck of the woods? That's kinda funny 😁 😂

I think it was actually the knock with the hammer that fixed it!

Молодец , желаю терпения удачи и много много сил и денег !!!!С удовольствием продолжаю следить за твоим каналом Подписан больше года на тебя Успехов

Seems like it is time to flush the tank and lines as well.

Wow you really need to do a tank flush and get all that gunk out for good! I love unimog shame they're so expensive around here :(

For an engine that needs a rebuild she runs well 🤣. The cabs definitely in good condition, my first 406 had no driver footwell for months 😬🤦‍♂. I presume the air filter should be an air bath version, not the paper ones? Which gearbox is in it as well? Almost looked like cascade but I couldn’t see enough levers

Ah yes, the omni-tool - the hammer

i would check the injectors

What do these vehicles use to seal the pneumatic lines?

Har du nogle gode råd til hvordan jeg finder mig min egen Unimog 406 eller 416 ?

Hi all. The filters are connected in series so PLEASE use for the first filter in the line the MANN BFU700x and then second the fine filter MANN P707x or equivalent! With two equal filters a series connection makes no sense! In all (electronic) parts catalogue only the BFU700 is mentioned but this is WRONG!!!!

I have one of these Mogs 1975 406 ex RAF it has a torque converter, 3 way tipper, front and rear PTO, I have 2 1300L Mogs too. My mate has a 406 and a 416 DOKA he also ran his bonnet over but recently he got a big log and some hammers and managed to get it back into shape. I often see axels for sale on the FB Unimog page but I suppose they have to be fairly local to make it worth while buying them. Good luck 🍀

Hejsa. Bliver så nostalgisk, glemmer aldrig turene fra høvelte til Oksbøl i sådan en kal. Hvad koster det om året i afgift osv. at eje sådan en. Vh

Looks like diesel bug, how does it smell?

You might want to take it easy on the starter. No more than 20 seconds at a time. They get hot, and when that happens, they fail.

we need to start a fundraise campaign for you on the fund me website :D

Hi How can I contact you sir

Lift pump I bet

Just can’t understand why you would not have removed the tank and cleaned it out along with the filters in the beginning. Doesn’t make sense to me.
