Grabbed the graphite, worked it into the lock, messed with it for a bit and (drum roll)... nope. No luck. Ignition switch has decided to retire. Will order a new one and look forward to the fun rewire. Maybe I'll make a video out of it. That's what the world needs right? More Unimog videos...

Why yes, I do have a Montgomery Wards looking wrench handle sticking out from my steering column with the air gauge, and next to the trailer hitch is the access cover for the hook up. It's good that you say that as I'm considering getting a M1061A1 trailer to put the koffer onto while I work on...

Thank Tenmogger, your posts are always very detailed and very helpful. Can you guys clue me in on jacking up recommendations as well? I have 2 20T Hydraulic hand pump jacks that I need to put on top of a base of wood planks (or you tell me) what's best. After studying these things, it would...

Yet another good common sense point! Will raid my sons Pinewood Derby box and see if that does the trick. You rock! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the quick response. Good point on the backing out the broken off rusted part. Already fixed the horn, my wife suggested that I replace the loud Hella VW style horn in there with a horn blasters style air horn. If I get through this I may do that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

While inspecting my brakes, I was scooted on my back under the rear bumper when I looked up and saw this nifty and very rusted piece with 3 lines running back to the engine. I'm thinking to myself this looks important, it's sitting just inside the frame in front of the air tank. Is this the cold...

I'm planning my brake re-do because I found more crimps on the brake line on the front right axle. After doing more reading and looking at diagrams went back and looked at the bleeder valves close up to find one of them has broken off and amazingly (or least I hope) the fluid is still in there...

I was really hoping you wouldn't say that. :-) Looked at Unipaser and there is civilian for 1/4 to 1/2 the price of military ignition. Called Euro-Tech and he's going to help me out. I try to order from all the Unimog vendors for various things to be fair in case anyone is wondering.

My 9yo son insisted that we take out Mogster to run an errand to our assistant scout masters house. After a nice visit a few neighborhoods away and many unusual looks at the green cockroach, we stopped at the pharmacy and when I returned from the store to go home, my key would not go into the...

After I got the batteries in and removed the hornets nest that was starting to grow under the koffer side door, I took it for a spin around the neighborhood. Got more whimsical looks from the neighbors. Then put it to work pulling a couple tree stumps in my front yard. Needless to say, a few of...

Thank you. Will be ordering more of that LVP paint. that one can went a LONG way, the inside of the cab will be completely redone in the proper RAL6014 green. The outside on the other hand will have to think about that one. Turns out that the truck has 2 coats of paint on the outside. The...

I am happy to report that after putting in a full day of work everything is working again, and some. While I did not pull everything out, after more close inspection, along with some logical thinking (ie messing with it) I determined that it was the throttle cable itself. The cable is housed...

I? I inspired you? Now that made my day! I'm glad I inspired someone this week. You might be interested to read I did hit it with the lithium grease, first from a tube, then by spray (Liquid Wrench brand), and after a week of torrential rains and lots of humidity it seems to have gummed up...

I thought I'd take a look here and I see someone else has the same issue! Only to read that it's buried in the FLU thread. Not owning a FLU I thought I could learn some good info by reading the thread. I started at 309 and worked backwards to page 99. Not anywhere did I find a length discussion...

Yes, they have custom threaded connectors on each end: Looks I'll be ordering these from EI after all. The tabs will bend up? That's a relief. Will get under there and check tomorrow. Thanks!

As Swiss has suggested, brakes are my #1 priority. Got on my creeper and spent some quality time under the Mog. Upon close inspection of my brake system I found these two little presents. Pinched lines on both Front Left and Front Right brake hard lines. Fortunately rear lines are ok. Braking...

Help me understand my braking system. I know it's an air-brake system. I see the gauge depleting if I hold the brake. I will just ask the dumb question, maybe SaddamsNightmare or TennMogger can comment about driving this 404 on the road, and you get to a light that's like 4 minutes (Baton Rouge...

PLEASE DELETE MY POST, DELETE THIS ONE if you have to. Please delete the whole topic if mine isn't allowed, then neither was the original.

:roll:

Please don't list this as spam or me as a troll for asking these questions. I am no stranger to forums yet I am puzzled by how things are done here. 1) I introduced myself in the Unimog forum, then went back and added pictures to my post and discovered my initial post disappeared. I sent a PM...
