Here in Makaysia we have this in "Timber Jinker" modified with Volvo gearbox using 911 cabin with some wooden roof,using 366 or 360 engine and exhaust pipe silencer giving aeroplane sound
In my country, Iran, Mercedes Benz model 911, 1313, 1519, 1513 and 1113 trucks are still working and most of these quality and popular trucks are more than 35 years old.I really enjoyed watching your video, good luck and victory.
That is so cool!! I am very big into Diesel Mercedes, I‘ve owned 13, from 1965 W110 200D, with a similar start up procedure, all the way up to 1985 W123 300D Turbo. I would really like one of these trucks, or the Unimog (with a Diesel). Keep on trucking along, that‘s a great vehicle
i sold mine to denmark , great truck , but not for longer distances , too loud and slow for our africa trip , but loved to ride it , got mine out of an shed where it stood for 20 years , fresh batteries and she fired up first time
Just like mine. Stood all alone in a parking lot destined for an export to or Iraq. Brakes was all stuck, no power. 45 minutes of work, we were roling again. Now, phase one is almost complete. I hope I can use it in the woods, however the distance is close to 250 km. It should be alright 👍
No Brazil...são ícones...e ainda dão show nas estradas...EXISTEM MUITOS NO BOIADEIRO...NA REGIÃO DO XINGU E SÃO FELIX ...SÃO OS QUE FAZEM O TRABALHO DE TIRAR OS BOIS DAS MATAS E TRAZER PROS FRIGORÍFICOS...NÃO EXISTE ESTRADA RUIM PRA ESSE TIPO DE CAMINHÃO...😮😮
Great Truck, love the fancy trafficator design...forgot about that entirely. The Larch and the Partridges were a true sign you live in Paradise! And by the way, me and my pals would love to ride in one of these when we surround fields in late summer being harvested: wheat and other grains in August and Maize in later fall! This truck is perfect for WILD BOAR hunts when the combines start through the fields......
Hi there. Thank you very much. Yeah the trafficators have been modified, just a little bit. I came with big rubber plastic indicators, mounted on the fenders, however that was soon changed to what you see today. A lot cheaper too😅 I would like to take on the panzer trail, when I'm done, to see just how good it is on the battlefield. I have a good idea, but it would be fun to test out. I'll be sure to post a video when that happens👍👍👍
Fueron un mito en Argentina, se usaron para todo, camión de reparto, camión con acoplado, ómnibus urbano, interurbano, de todo. El último año del 1114 producido en la planta de Virrey del Pino (gran Buenos Aires), que fue el modelo final de la saga fue 1988. Todavía hay muchísimos en servicio, acá se hicieron unos 20000 vehículos, ninguno de los que vino después tuvo la durabilidad de estos modelos. El último ómnibus como tal salió de servicio en 2015, los camiones siguen en algunos lugares, sobre todo en las ciudades, en las rutas alguno queda, pero ya quedaron excesivamente lentos, si bien con el motor 352 los nuestros alcanzaban los 90/95 km/h. Ese La328 con motor 321 acá se conoció como 1112 (11 toneladas, 120 hp).
It is tough. But it is also a bit of a fight every time something breaks. Locating spareparts, getting them at a fair price. I guess it's like going hunting for treasure.
if you are Danish i am really impressed with the words you use.. you are either a child of the internet or you have travelled a lot b ut i give you a 10 out of 10 for a good clip all the best i love it!
Thank you very much, that means a whole lot. Wow, what a fantastic day all of a sudden😁👍😁 Actually I grew up without computers and consols, but played with my friend's outside in the sun. I have family in the US and the UK, perhaps that's where I picked up the language. I have been in US once, and in the UK a little bit more. But thank you, and you are a 10 out of a 10 for being fantastic. All the best from here😁😁😁😁
@beegxxc9832 😅😅 No, but you are right, I am using pounds as a reference. I was thinking that it would make more sense using a currency that more use, than the dkk.
@beegxxc9832 you are to kind. Thank you very much, but I'm sure you are just as good. I use English often in my work. When I was younger, I went to gymnasium, a linguistics line.
I sat down with my neighbour last night, he has an old land rover 102" from the late 70s. We been sitting an listening to another neighbour going on and on about his new ford ranger. We could quickly agree, that my truck hand his land rover, only needed a push start. 😉
@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 das Schrauben macht doch Spass an solchen Fahrzeugen. Wartungs und Reparatur Freundlich, tja und Dieselpest kann leider passieren. (Hatte ich im Heizöltank einen Pilz der ständig den Filter verstopfte.) Aufwendige Reinigung des Tanks ist unumgänglich.
@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 Zum runter schalten während der Fahrt den Gang raus, einkuppeln, Gas geben (Zwischengas we call it) und dann in den kleineren Gang schalten. Die Drehzahl der Getriebeeingangswelle wird so angepasst und es kracht nicht.
@serioustrouble63 yes that is true, however when i do that, it rarely goes into gear. I found with a moderate acceleration, half way in clutch twice, it goes in 90% of the time👍 But I need it out more, it sits to much in the barn. But thank you for the advice, it is much appreciated 👍👍👍
@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 Welcome...I'm Firefighter for 30 years now and drove old firetrucks with unsynchronized gearboxes... take a lot of practice... as we say "shifting is no secret... everyone should hear it! " 😁
We used to have an early 60's Mercedes diesel sedan,, and it had the exact same glow plug indicator on the dashboard for cold starts. The pull starter was the same, too. Starting the thing when it was 25 degrees outside was a challenge.
Do your all modify it with noisy exhaust like aeroplane? Back in Malaysia it is common,but now except for Timber lorries it is declining,despite smaller CC and horsepower compare to today's truck standards,it has strong durability!
Raised near Stuttgart, the home of Mercedes and Porsche, i saw those trucks every day all around. Beautiful! Yours must be a export model for sweden because of the writings like 'håndslamp' etc. They were in use till the 90s in germany and are still working in africa today
Some nostalgia seeing the old girl This engine is loe compression, thats why there are per heaters. Later moels came with direct injection. I have worked on these MB engines cheers.
Aqui no Brasil teve uma gama e modelos com essa cabine,sendo o sucessor do LP-321(cabine avançada)começando do 1111 ao mais icônico 1113,ainda tem milhares deles circulando pelas ruas e estradas do Brasil,inclusive em serviços públicos de prefeituras. Parabéns pelo vídeo!👍🏻✌🏻🇧🇷
@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 😂😂😂 sim,são muito robustos e acho que esse é o ingrediente principal do sucesso desses valentes caminhões,desbravaram as estradas do Brasil e fizeram história junto com o progresso do país e por que não dizer de várias partes do mundo.
They are robust, super easy to maintain. A bit difficult to repair, because parts gets more and more difficult to find. Just like going treasure hunting🤣
My dad's truck was a 1972. I don't remember the model #. It was only rwd, 5 speed, 33k lbs gvw and it had an air vent that would pop open from the ceiling and vent windows in front of the roll down window. It was an American version in mph and it also had a turbo. The 2nd engine died almost the same time that my dad stopped driving truck. That truck was in service for about 35 years until the company got rid of it. Miss that truck.
@Flemming from Denmark , my dad's truck didn't have any of the turn signals and horn on the steering wheel. Also, he had 2 small pedals, 1 was a high beams and the other 1 was a brake retarder. Also, if I recall, the engine was rated at 400hp or 500hp US metrics.
@Flemming from Denmark it had round nose just like your but I think the hood or bonnet was bigger. It wasn't a cab over looking and it was a 26 foot box truck.
My most favourite is The roaring sound of British Leyland 0.370 or British Leyland 0.400 Six Cylinder Naturally Aspirated Diesel Engine followed by the Sound of Mercedes Benz OM 312 or Mercedes Benz OM 352 Six Cylinder Naturally Aspirated Diesel Engine 🙏
The four by four was confusing, lever to the front or to the back, the pleasure release valve was a cool slip of the tongue 😂. Anyway, nice video, and a cool truck.
It still confuses me sometimes with the 4x4. But when steaming ahead in 5th gear and only reaching 40kmt, I know I'm still in 4x4. Don't worry it can take it. 😁
Holy shit your right, I had to watch it again to see. The explanation on the 4x4 was wrong. So actually I got out off the field using only rear drive, but the entire trip through the fields was in 4x4. The two straight lines on the gearstick indicate 4x4. But when I got the truck, there's was no knob on the gearstick, so I had to guess.
Hi man, where are you from? In my country Argentina since 1954 Mercedes Benz is manufacturing models of the old school Like 911, 1112, 1114, 608 but nowadays they are not in the line of production... Great video and those tucks are ireally indestructibles.... Greetings from Buenos Aires Argentina, and sorry about my english 🤦♂️
Yes sir. There's a few more that has that special sound. My top 3 is. 1. My own OM321 or Om352 2. The Dodge powerwagen 3. The 6,2 ltr M998 engine. 3. Runner up is the U354 multifuel engine, sounds 👌
The good ones are getting rare to buy. But there are still many rusting slowly in fields or barns all over Germany. Most of the acceptable ones are used for restoration and are far too valuable to obtain as a hobby. The hard part is to find them getting sold somewhere.
Yes sir, it was a slip of the tongue. I can't edit the video, mostly because I have no idea how to do that. And the video footage is deleted. To make room for more videos. Have a great day
Would it be worthwhile contacting companies that sell heavy duty off-road shock absorbers ? I would be willing to bet that mounting shocks where no such mounting existed would be something that they are familiar with. The guys that build monster trucks do this sort of thing all the time. With multiple shock mountings,like 12 per vehicle,3 per side. That extreme would not be needed here,just an example. No idea how much such a project would cost,it would require fabrication,welding ,disassembly, experimentation,but the ride difference would be considerable. Interesting old truck. Mercedes knew how to build simple and strong as well as complicated.
It sounds like a cool monster truck, however here un Denmark, there's so many rules and regulations that makes such a project impossible. The reason for the lack of rear shock absorbers on this model not mercedes were due to the ability go off road. The frame would twist quite a lot, it has also been tested to be so😅 These were not build for comfort, but for practicality, and they do work off road...
Tak for du ville køre med😁 Det er en helt anden måde at kører lastvogn på. Der skal arbejdes, og tålmodighed... Den her er fra Aalborg beredskabsstyrelse, og udlånt til Aalborg kommune til?!?
Det er også korrekt. Men alle lastvognene blev bestilt til forsvaret, og fordelt derfra. Den du ser her, har både været en tur forbi søværnet, civilforsvaret, beredskabsstyrelsen, og til sidste tid i Aalborg beredskab. Militæret spænder jo bredt, fra hæren, søværnet, flyvevåbnet og hjemmeværnet (cf dengang) Farverne skiftede også fra koksgrå til blå til orange gullig. Men korrekt CF står for civile forsvaret. Ofte overdrages også udtjente køretøjer til CF, da der er løbende udskiftning af materiel. Ofte sælges materiellet via auktioner, hvor du og jeg så har mulighed for at byde ind. Den her stod ved en irakisk skrothandler i Hammel, og havde planlagt den skulle sendes til Irak, det syntes jeg så ikke den skulle, og korte forhandlinger senere, var den på vej hjem til min gårdsplads. Lang historie, det må du undskylde. 👍😅😅
I know what you mean. I really want to test it on the military 4 by 4 course. This may be old-school, but I have no doubt that it would still handle such a course. I have taken it to the woods. Never gotten stuck. The 1113 has full air brakes right?! The La328 does not, it's with air supported one line hydraulic brakes. One break means no brakes.
Jeg kørte unimog inde ved mili i skive den kunne køre skrot over en pløje mark, og gå 90kmt på lande vej, den havde os en 3. Gear stang hvor man kunne vælge lavt gear så den havde 2x4 =8 gear
Sad bagi en Unimog fra 2/6 artellery fra Skive Kaserne en vinterdag i 1979 da vi og 8 andre kørte igennem Oksbøl skydeterræn efter endt skarpskydning med 155mm selvkørende haubits m-109 !, kørte fra grus ud på et meget kort stykke asfalt med et 90 graders sving i og dét var spejlglat så vi forulykkede - fik en salg i hovedet mens Unimog en væltede rundt og vågnede op i græsset med Unimogen liggende på siden lige ved siden af , køreren blev kastet halvejs ud af førerhuset og brækkede kravebenet - ellers ingen andre skader , heldigt.
You still need some learning about shifting a non syncro girbox: First, you don't have to have such high revs, take your time, clutch all in when shifting, rev only on the way down wards!
Mange Tak,da floresta negra (Black Florest Tyskland).By the way there is a oldtimer meeting here in Tennenbronn(08.07-09.07.2023). Mercedes-Benz do Brasil produzia tambem esse modelo parecido. Parents from Schleswig-Holstein,i like the flat land and the North Sea. Hollidays in Vejers Strand Camping. ❤❤❤
@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 I‘m not a happy owner of an oldtimer but I love the atmosphere on this event. So I will visit the area with my wife and another couple. Thanks Flemming
@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 ya ok , but gagging the engine speed between shifts works too . Most soldiers run the engine at max RPM to do what they have to do , and gagging the engine like I said works but it takes practice just like getting with the woman of the house . Happy Father’s Day .
@jamesbeemer7855 Happy fathers day sir. I will try again, I drive an Volvo F12 with an Eaton fuller non synchro, but that was a totally different drivestyle. But you are right it should work better on the MB. Practice practice pations I guess👍👍👍😉
Den er drønflot! Dem kører der mange af her nede i Brasilien, eller i hvert fald nogle der ligner. Måske nok ikke med firhjulstræk. Der er en flot rød en med dobbelt-kabine her i min by.
Tusinde tak skal du have. Jeg er også stolt over den.😁😁 Jeg fandt en video der fortæller historien om mercedes lastvognen, yderst spændende. Prøv at søg på.. mercedes benz lp - lk her på youtube, så kommer der vist 2 forskellige videoer.
I bought it for £2500, in a condition that was not too great. Engine error Transmission error Transfer case error Brakes stuck on all four I had to get it transported home, that costed me an additional £1500. Left to do Leafsprings on rear axle Rust on cab Brakesystem overhaul again Tires But I'm slowly getting there👍 More to come on this channel. Have a great day
mercedes benz no es siquiera la sombra de lo que fue aún que se debe de entender que algunas cosas tienen por obligación que cambiar los cambios de los coches de europa todos cambiaron para ser desechables tal como los de EEUU,de los de corea del sur ni hablar esos son desechos desde que empezaron a salir al mercado
That or because of demand made more the necessity of cheaper cars, less material, the new order. Sad really... it would be easier to change out the engine, than making a entire new car, but in reality it is probably cheaper to build a complete new car. One of the major reasons why cars rust so severe l, is due to the reuse of iron. Cars today are made of less and less pure iron. Old school cars used sheet metal around 2 mm thick, now it is barely 1mm.
Hi John. The LA328, was one of the first stubnose trucks that came after the 312. Same frame, same in a lot of ways, but using stubnose design, ment longe bed, higher view. The first came with the same engine as the 312, but the 911, had a newer engine and turbocharged. Even the braking system had an upgrade. So one could say, the 911 is an upgrade 328. Some even came with powersteering and syncromeshed transmissions... that was a big deal back then😉👍👍
@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 Well, ours was a 1961 build 911 Allrad delivered to the German Red Cross , had direct injection (afair 125 HP), was synchronised but was not turbocharged nor powersteered !
I'm sorry you feel that way about my "so called" choice. But regardless sir, it is my choice not yours, and you don't see me calling you names. Mind your manners, like the rest of the fine folk here, and try to have a great day anyway.
