Sorry I didn't know. Well that's probably an improvement that MB came up with later to eliminate the loose flange issues. You still want to check for raised areas around the bolt holes. If they are running sloppy they will tend to oval out.

Now if they were running very loose you should take extra time and inspect and repair both flange surfaces with a suitable file. The bolt hole areas will most likely have raise material which will not allow them to seat correctly. If they are not seated they will surely come loose again in short order. Good Luck!

Seems that only the diesel Mogs have the notched flanges. They are deep notches and not unnoticeable. Take the U-1300 for instance the propshaft from engine to transmission has only 4 small bolts at each flange.

The notched drive shaft and PTO flanges sound like a great idea, but at least on the 404, in my limited experience, all of the drive shaft flanges and PTO flanges are smooth machined surfaces. Torque is transmitted through the bolts only. Or maybe the wedged flanges are almost microscopic? How deep would you say the notches are in the flanges you describe? Thanks in advance, and I hope to thank you in person next weekend.

Just rotate and use the next set of holes :-) PS, I'm only half joking. My rule number one: never take apart anything on a Unimog unless absolutely necessary. Only the Elves in Germany can put it back together right.
