I have been out of circulation and just caught up with the issues from everyone. One point on the Hub Seal dilemma. Chatting to my colleague Tony Bettasso (404/416)we established that the newer Landrovers have a synthetic grease to lubricate the swivel housings. Have any moggers used synthethic grease and could someone with more experience comment.

Some time the timing light would flash, most time it wouldn't. I bought another timing light and got the same results. Someone on the list told me about the negitive bond thing and put my world back in order. Great List, great info, great friends...

Maybe everyone's just waiiting for MogFest. As-is, where-is, $10K will cover what I've got in it. I'd want about $13K if I leave the new owner my generator, inverter, expensive 12/24 V battery charger, all my tools, etc. If I get stuck doing the engine rebuild and install and other small commissioning tasks, I assume it will go back on the market at something over $40K, given the new paint, seats, etc. and up-to-spec engine. Of note to a small segment of people, the cabin by itself is valuable--heck, Unicat sells one the same size for 160,0000 Euros ;-)--so if you want the truck and not the cabin, we should talk, and if you want the cabin and not the truck, we should talk. By far, though, highest and best use is as an intact long-distance expedition motorhome. Finally, I know where to get a good condition rebuildable engine if a prospective buyer does not.

The best (read as easiest) way I see this coming into existence is: I will get a three sided white board and dry erase supplies, some blue painters taper, some seating, some beer (for instructors), popcorn with a hot air popper, and some fliers to add to the NWMF handout propaganda. The white board will act on one side as both a sign up board for teaching and taking the classes as well as class suggestions, one side as a teaching easel and the last side as a general information kiosk, sign up for trail rides genreal point of interest. Lastly I would ask if anyone would like to lead a how to class, don't be shy, share your knowledge it will be good for the hobby. You can contact me off-list at quarkz at att.blackberry.net My ideas from before for classes are: 1) Carburetor basics - cleaning, tuning, upgrades, Zenith NDIX carb or others, single dual setups, tweaks 2) Timing basics - how to use a 12V timing light w/ 24V system, what & where is TDC, &how many degrees BTDC do I really need 3) Brakes - How to service, adjust, adjust the parking brake, refurbish brake cylinder (I can do part of this one, does anyoine have and air assist unit that can be dissassembled for display?) 4) Pimp my Mog - upgrades, high compression heads, pertronix, crawler gears, tires and rims, 5)Trail Knowledge - Safety, Do's & Don'ts, winching for those around you, lockers, how to approach obstacles, what equipment should I have, leave no trace / tread lightly tail etiquette. what damage can a water crossing do to me? Or if there is something else someone wants to address email me at quarkz at att.blackberry.net If you want to learn show up to a session, even if there are no "Xperts" we can discuss and still learn from each other. Off to get supplies. Woo Hoo!

It is the people who attend and their interactions that make this such an interesting and enjoyable activity. Even when we are faced with unexpected change or the occasional inappropriate behaving individual, the strength, adaptability, ingenuity and caring people in this group of individuals demonstrate is...priceless. Like this mailing list, the collective fund of knowledge of those at NWMF is staggering. I spent time yesterday morning with a retired Dutch electrical engineer/business administration university professor bringing a four element generator-driven light tower back to full function. An absolutely beautiful metal sculpture was being created by and artist who was also mowing out posrtons of teh obstacle course with our tractor. Later, several of the staff were tweaking the projector for our outdoor theater. We even discussed the soon-to-be-unveiled kleinmantisgelandewagen. The number of ideas that get generated here when people start pinging off of each other is amazing. Great ideas are always welcome at NWMF but our unwritten rule for some time has been that someone must take responsibility for making such an idea bear fruit. Every one of your ideas mentioned below is great. Had you been on the farm yesterday, you would have seen no less that five 404s (one with an OM617A turbo-diesel conversion) being tweaked and otherwise made ready for the upcoming event. There is a very strong collective knowledge base already on the farm right now and if will grow even stronger as the next few days pass. My suggestion would be that you take on the responsibility of bringing this idea of an Unimog 404 classroom to maturity. I certainly would have welcomed such an resource for information when I was first getting started with my trucks. Two possibilities are to: 1) poll the members on this list as to who will be attending NWMF and would be willing to be involved in this type of training and 2) arrive at Waldersee Farm/NWMF as soon as possible so the logistics can be coordinated. We just printed off out hand drawn (thank you Ryan Gerrish) maps of the farm yesterday for distribution as people arrive. Knowing ASAP where and when you would like to have these classes held will help minimize any conflict with other scheduled activities. As far as recruitment from this list goes, I would suggest asking respondents to do so off list to avoid unnecessary list dialogue. Your idea is not too formal by any means. I have always wanted to see something along these lines at past NWMF events but just never had the time. It will simply take effort and determination on your part to see this through. Take care and see you very soon.

Would one or more Zenith NDIX carb experts be willing to teach me and / or maybe a group of novices how to setup and tweak in a / my 404 unimog? For that matter are there any other little sessions we can have on general tweaks and adjustments, like brakes, or maybe dialing in the timing on a 24V system with a 12V light like Bob just asked. And if/when there is an off road trail excursion, maybe a do's and don'ts from the old salts on trail basics (lockers, etiquette, equipment, winching). Or is this just to formal an idea?

I'd come down I-5 south, when you enter PDX hit I-405 South Then take the 26W exit (right lane, you'll pass through a tunnel). Down-shift for the hill (404.1 radiobox makes it up at 40-45MPH) and keep going until you see a split off for highway 6. Take this (left) and when you see highway 47 South, take that. Keep going until you end up in McMinnville. Hang a right...and drive out 99W until it transitions into Highway 18 towards Sheridan. Only traffic lights you'll see on that route are on 47 and in McMinnville. Avoids Tigard and PDX mess mostly. :-) Enjoy!

The front cowl is pure 416, so the attachment points for the cab tilt brackets are there. And there's not a lot of extra wiring because of the camper; all of that disconnects through a single plug. And the wires, hoses, linkages, etc. that exist for the stock truck should be pretty much in the same place. The problem we worried about was the weight of the cab and whether the tubing at the cab tilt points would be in any danger of collasping from the heft of the giant cab. If I end up managing the install, I think I'd take out the seats and anything else that would add a lot of weight; I'll also see if there's any practical way to get the sliding doors off their tracks. My guess is that without doors or seats, the weight might not be too gruesome. But before someone asks, I have no idea what the cab actually weighs. Just figure if it was obvious, any damn fool (like me) could do it. :-) ------------------------------ Message: 15 Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2010 00:39:21 +0000 From: n7mog at msn.com To: "Mog Mailing List" Subject: Re: [MOG] Greetings from Colorado Springs, CO Message-ID: <1226046446-1282178346-cardhu_decombobulator_blackberry.rim.net-806757470- at b da743.bisx.prod.on.blackberry> Content-Type: text/plain Too bad you are that far south.

It's easier to reuse the stock 404 carb, intake and exhaust manifolds then use the sedan dual carb and it would handle better off camber. If your mostly driving on the road the the sedan carbs would be spunky. The motor swap is fairly easy. You swap over got m180 oil pan, grind some clearance notches were the M130 crank makes contact, change some doul pins, new thick flywheel and some minor mods to the oil pump pressure regulator as it will hit the oil pan. Easily a one day job with a stock cab and a cherry picker. Really makes the 12.5 tires roadable. I'm actually losing few ponies running propane but she hauls ass.

There might be a bleeder screw at the top of the cylinder--just crack it slightly and check for air release---if so let it release and cylinder should continue lowering until oil starts coming out close the bleeder.--Our Dragon end dump trailer would get air in the system and do that but was an easy fix.---I'm not familiar with your cylinder or if it has a bleeder screw but check it out.

Lastly, my unit had the mounting bracket and fender plus for the Convoy Light, question is how is it wired into the main light switch, or is already wired and all I need if the unit itself and the male plug?? Any help will be greatly appreciated by one of the few UNIMOG owners in the Midwest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
