Hey everyone!
I got a new truck, to replace the MAN we have been using.
This one is a Magirus Deutz FM 170D11 FA
It's going to need a little work. but overall, this old truck is in great condition. and i think it will be a great addition to my fleet.
... If i can get the paper-work sorted out.
And for those who might not know, you can also find me, over on Instagram:

That would be such a good starting point for a camper build. Off-road capability and a sturdy functional box. There are many of these still around, see if you can sell the box to a fellow Magirus owner at least.

That stop button in front of the seat, is the exhaust brake. But it also works as a stop button. Mercedes used the exact same mechanism, until the late 80:s. I drove a 10 cylinder Mercedes 1932 tanker truck for many years. Same setup, and the VDO gauges and warning lights were very similar. Even the steering wheel.

Suggestion Remove the shelf's Keep the side folding platform and modified it so the "blue panel" could fold down (some named it 3way) IMO it will make the "flat bed" more practical Also that workinglamp somewhat feels soo coolll

​@@KJOff-Road Hi, I live in Sweden and had a similiar issue with an former German Ikarus buss. You need to get in touch with the local office too the city where it was registered. There is no central office that has registration documentation in germany it all handled locally. If you have the german numberplate number that helps point you at wich office you need to contact. otherwise i would try taking contact with the THW becouse they probably have documentation on it.

Ich bin beim THW Wen der von 85 ist muss das einer der Letzten sein. Die Ersten sind in den 70ern gebaut worden. Die Winde kann nach vorne 5t und nach hinten 10t. Dann muss man vorne ein teil auf die rolle stecke wo man das seil einhaken muss, damit sich das Seil da nicht rein zieht. Die meisten sind zwischen 2000 und 2010 ausgesondert worden. Meist weil sie ersetzt worden sind oder die Reparaturen zu teuer gewesen wäre. Die Ersatzteilversorgung war auch immer schwer zum Schluss. Im Aufbau fehlt einiges der Regale, da wurde schon einiges raus geschnitten. Wir hatten so einen bis ca 2004 und haben dann einen Iveco 120-23 bekommen mit dem Deutz V8.

very reliable truck , but not longer or lower than the VW man . the performance of the engine will surprise everyone. but there are some backdraws , you have to check the entire rig on regular basis . the exhaust on both sides of the engine will fail one day soon because of rust , and buying a new one is close to ten grand each side. we use to get ex army one side V12 manifolds of the same engine type (613/614 or 712/714) depending on the measures of the cilinder heads apart. and cut those in half to match two 3 cilinder manifolds. a lot of welding saved us thousants.

It sounds like the governor is sticking at high RPMs. A little Marvels Mystery oil in the oil for about 30 minutes and then an oil change might solve the problem. The box might be a good idea to keep and modify. It would hold a vehicle and keep the vehicle from the weather.

It shouldn't be too difficult to get remade German THW paperwork from the THW itself or the road authority where she was stationed back in her active THW-time I reckon. Biggest issue might become that everything needs to be in German, officially translated and/or officially seen and approved by a notary. You might even get a full history of maintenance and repairs, should they have taken that on micro-film before selling her. Crazy archives in most of those places in Germany.

The first time you said it I thought it was probably just an error but by the fifth time I thought he just isnt reading it right , the vehicle is a Magirus Deutz which is pronounced Mag ih russ Doytze, back in the fifties/sixties and seventies they were world famous for their almost indestructable Deutze air cooled V engines that would start instantly whatever the temperature even as low as minus ten centigrade first turn of the key while all other big Diesels of the time would struggle ( never did find where they hid the anti freeze filler cap though lol) usually in three and four axle tippers but with a smattering of artic tractors here and there. Oh and by the way Iveco (acronym of INdustrial VEhicles COrporation) is pronounced eye vee co.

Haha, yeah. we do have pick-up's :) But with the backwards kind of rules we have here, they become pretty useless, for big things. as anything over 3.5 tons (Total weight of vehicle and load) moves up into commercial-vehicle terretory. where you need a separate license, a drive under a different set of rules. (Like you can't go above 80km/h) So not only are the pick-ups extremely expensive to have (Because they are big cars) but you can't use them the way the are intended. So if you have a commercial license. It's actually many times cheaper, to just get a huge commercial vehicle like this :)

Getting new documents for a vehicle is not too difficult in Germany but as far as I know you only get the new documents if you register the vehicle, which requires Tüv/ the technical inspection. I don't know about the procedure is in your case, given the fact that you only need the documents for export/import. If you are interested and have no other German friends who could help, then I would make an appointment with my local registration office and ask the staff directly about your case.

Nice truck. Which year is it? You didn't even tell us. The 4wd is permanent with a center diff, right and only the rear locker? I As for the registration I am not sure if the KBA can really help you with this. They can probably confirm that it is not stolen, but I don't know if they can hand out the paperwork. If they don't or don't have them (I think they only keep them 10 years), you usually need to go to the TÜV, where an Engineer can evaluate it, either confirm the old paperwork if it is still in the KBA data base or use the standard registration for this type to fill out new papers. Then you have to take these to the kba to make them legal papers (at least if you wanna register it here). As the THW is a federal service, like the German army, it is possible it was never even publicly registered in the same way a car or normal truck would be. So you could be the first one to actually do it. And you technically did the right thing/used the proper method by shutting it off with the hand throttle. Probably the more correct method, but at least in the fire fighting scene nobody does it that way because you could forget to reset the hand throttle and somebody else might not be able to start it because he doesn't know. The button you called a stop button is you exhaust brake. It is just not regulated so it let's you turn of the engine. It also seemed to carry fire fighting equipment, even tough it was a THW truck. There were some labels for hoses and branches/hose nozzles. So the big space in the back was probably occupied by portable pump powered by a beetle flat four. I only personally came in contact with its successor, the 120-23 AW when doing my fire fighting fundamental course. It was a pump truck 2500l tank and a PTO driven pump in the back with basically the same cab, but as a 9 seater. So it had a second bench in the back behind the drivers seat, facing backwards. And if i remember correctly they were wooden too or at least really basic and hard. Even tough this was a truck from 1990 it was so much more crude and basic compared to the 80's Mercedes NG 1222 in our department. And your truck sounds nice, but the Deutz 6cyl can't compare to the Mercedes V6 engines, like the Om421 in the 1222. They just have this unmatched rumble due to their layout. It's Incredible. Which incidentally just recently has had a similar issue to your Iveco where the lockers wouldn't work because the actuation was seized. Sadly the local government decided to not spend any money on things not totally necessary so they just told the workshop to deactivate the switches. Which funny story they did by just cutting the air supply to the secondary consumer circuit of the four way protection valve. What they failed to consider, however, is that the the pto driven pump uses air from this circuit to clutch in and select the pto gear when you turn it on in the back. You couldn't even use the manual PTO switch because its also air powered. And sadly that's a trend with the workshop we use. It really hurts to see how this thing gets bodged up in the last few years of its service that started in '88. And luckily we noticed when practicing and not during an actual emergency. The only things to fail up until now where plastic air hoses used by the company that build by the company adding the fire fighting equipment, the mercedes hoses were always fine. And recently the clutch slave cylinder died and the lockers didn't work. Pretty good record, although it has only done 23.000km. I always thought I'd buy it if it goes out service, but looks like they want to get rid of it far quicker than I expected. So I probably won't have the money and funds to do so. Sadly.

Nope, all the THW vehicles do have normal registration papers like civilian ones, the only specialty is we have number plates mentioning „THW and a number“, and no regional number oh, and we don‘t have any insurance papers, there is no insurance company, but the federation itself which is liable in case I am driving a kind of grandson of this truck, a Mercedes Benz AXOR 1829 4x4 in our THW unit, after 10 years it has 16.500km

Well, i see a few things have already been awnsered by some of the others, here :) But i have to be honest. because of all the air-actuators on the transfer case, are not really working, i'm still not entirely sure if it is permanent 4x4 or not? but i don't think it is? And also, i looks like it only has a diff. lock in the rear. but again, none of it is working right now, so i could be wrong. Currenly i'm just going off what little data i have been able to find, on these. And thanks for that explantion. it makes sense that the exhaust brake is just choking it off. :) I can see what you mean about not re-setting the hand throttle. i already did that a couple of times, myself. Haha :) And yeah, i have also seen a lot of bodge-jobs done on fleet vehicles, simply to cut costs. it's a bit sad, honestly :/

@@KJOff-Road From what I could gather the posts in the "allrad-lkw-gemeinschaft" forum those trucks should only come with permanent 4wd with center diff. Additionally, that they came standard with a locker for said center diff. The one for the rear diff was optional. Which i guess is okay, because the center one should be more important. Doesn't help if your rear axle is locked, but one of the front tires has no grip and so only this one tire on the front axle turns. The exhaust brakes make the experience even better with their relatively untamed sound. Especially if you sit in the back and can also hear the air escaping the actuators etc. Its really sad with these things. That truck is basically pristine. Okay, it has some troubles with age, but they only come out because they don't care for preventative maintenance (if an air hose leaks they just cut out the leaking centimeter and just replace it with a hose connector. The whole truck is litered with them. Why don't just replace the whole pvc line?). Their plan is to replace it with a truck only ten years younger. However, our truck has these problems since around 3-4 years. So the "new" truck will probably be the same in a few years.
