M1078 questions

[StefanGermany]

Hello,
I'm new here and from germany.
I am now also the proud owner of an M1078.
And I need help from you.
Does anyone have manuals for me?

The further a question. My windshield is very scratched. I want to change it. But what is the length and width?
Is this the same as the MAN L2000 or steyr 12M18?

Desperation for my bad english.

Best regarts

Windshield- Iffff...... it is similar to either of those it would the Steyr 1218 for that was the cab it was modeled after.

what year 1078? There are all the manuals on this website for the A0 (first generation models). Later models went to software manuals and there are only bits and pieces of those out there. To get manuals go back to the front page of this website. Top item about "Technical manuals" (called TM's often) Go to the "Present Vehicles" section. Search in there.

It is from 1998.

Hello,
Unimog is also good, but the M1078 is better for what I want to do.
The tip above was gold. I have the manuels.

But I'm still looking for a windshield.
I have found some in USA but the problem is the shipping.
Better I am looking for a comparable but I need the exact measurements.

best regards
Stefan

Stewart and Stevenson imported the cabs from Steyr so you should be able to find one in your area. Any large truck wrecking yards around? Probably cheaper than getting one directly from a Steyr dealer.

Thank you that is a very valuable information.
This helps me further.

On a side note, if you can find a source there for the door handles...let me know....need a drivers door handle.

Congrats on joining the club!

I am interested in cab parts also if you can find any over there !! I have tried contacting some Steyr dealers but no luck yet! Welcome to the LMTV club!

Hi Guys,
thank you. I am lucky that one of the best Steyr workshops is near me. I could find so much already. The windscreen from the Steyr or the MAN L2000 or from the Man L90 also fit with LMTV. They are the same. Thus, the new disk costs me very little. Just 165 €. My LMTV is still in the workshop. The light has yet to be changed. It should be amended to German regulations. So that the here gets an admission. Totally crazy, the US Army is driving him here on the streets. Typical German.

Best greeting
Stefan
