       Mog Hybrid in Norway

       Not something for a purist but it would make clearing the snow
       on the drive a whole lot more fun.
       I hope Google translate works.

       That's smart. Would look a bit funny with a linkage on the front
       though! :D

       Maybe not front linkage, but one of those lighter, pickup truck
       blades they have in the US. Clearing would definitely be fun.
       Especially if it was enclosed and had a heater.

       Norsk,
       I'm about 700 k's north of you, in �fjord, referred to by the
       tourist board as "Norway in Miniature".
       My little 411 was modified heavily by a guy who had the
       creativity of the guy who built the one above but without the
       attention to detail. When the manuals arrive I will try and
       figure out what are modifications, why they were made and what
       to keep.
       You know the price of 4wd tractors in Norway so, for me at
       least, this is a cheap alternative with a lot of potential for
       this area.
       How's the tree business in Bergen? I was involved in it 40+
       years ago back home and still do a bit for friends.
       Lykke til s�rover.
       Tom

       Hello Tom
       Business is going well,the economic effects of the lay-offs from
       the Oil industry have effected peoples disposable income
       somewhat though.Sign of the times I guess.
       There might be dealer manuals available online for you
       Machine,they have exploded diagrams of each assembley as well as
       list all the part numbers.
       I will have a look now for you
       godt p�ske

       Norsk,
       I have the parts list and a PDF of �Workshops Manual Unimog
       421-411 Volume 1� and have ordered the rest. The trick is that
       the truck has been heavily modified. For example:
       90�s Nissan non-turbo diesel engine (from a Navara?)
       Hydraulic steering
       Modified air system
       Air actuated lockers
       Hydraulic pump & controls
       Modified rear PTO
       Add on 3 point hitch
       2 inch lift on front axle
       That makes it a bit awkward figuring out what�s what.
       I�m going to post some pics under �411 in Norway� to make sure
       there is no confusion with the one above.
       Thanks for your help.
       Cheers,
       Tom

       We have a similar project the the special above personally I'd
       like a bit more cross bracing on the the roll frame plus I can
       not see anywhere that allows for flex in the chassis &#128522;
