UNIMOG Barn Find. Part 5 - Fixing the PTO and adding a Lift

Hey Guys!
Here is part 5 of the Unimog 421 Build.
I wanted the mog to be able to use different tools and attachements, so we outfittet it with a front-lift!
And also fixed up that front PTO in the process.
If you want to follow this build from the start, Here is a link to the First video:
• Unimog Barn-Find. part...
I have also made a playlist, for the whole build. you can find that here:

Again, this guys fab skills are next level. Good job!!

Unimog is probably the only vehicle that would survive a zombie apocalypse. That's what makes them so freaking awesome. Very nice fabrication and repair.

[@mikescudder4621]

So this is how to convince the wife that a unimog is essential for a farm!!

[@mikescudder4621]

Now i just need to convince her we need a farm!

Exactly! ;)

Good luck, brother.

I like your content a lot! The unimogs are cool and the way you edit and add music: great work, i can relax while learning and enjoying someone else's struggles :)

[@davidr6585]

Awesome work fabbing all that up!

[@showmemo3686]

Please tell us why you did not power wash the engine and gearbox before you tore into this project. I always find a nice clean job site helps keep curd out of my work.

[@mikescudder4621]

It was nice and clean when he went to put the seal back on - around the seal!

[@KJOff-Road]

I usually do. and i have washed most of it. But the front-facing side of the gearbox, that is shown here, is all tucked up underneath the cabin, it was hard just finding a way to get a camera up under there, to film it. and it's near impossible to get in there to wash it. atleast, without laying dierectly under there, while doing it. But at some point i will be removing the cabin for repairs, and then i will be able to clean everything underneathe aswell. Thanks for watching!

I never saw a Unimog before. I think I’d like to own one but I’m in Texas.

I actually really like the new wave/ synth driven music, It's perfect music for working on Mogs.

Good backgroud music, and work done here, amazing

Where did you purchase you front mount from? That is what I would like to install as well! Great video! Thank you!

[@theodoreolson8529]

When I was a kid I wanted to be Race Bannon (Jonny Quest cartoon from the mid 60's). Now as an older retired guy I envy you. Playing with trucks all day, how cool is that? Thanks for your channel.

[@KJOff-Road]

Haha, thanks :) if only i did get to do it, all day :)

[@oxfd611]

Dose the PTO automatically set a RPM/speed governor of that model Unimog? I like the Unimog, especially when they are use as emergencies vehicles. The closest I will ever come to ownings a Unimog is the small scale plastic mode I built a few years ago.

[@KJOff-Road]

No. This is a very basic design, where the PTO is just a direct output from the gearbox. and you manually set the Rpm. with the "Hand throttle" in the cab. Thanks for watching!

[@JezDavis]

So good to see you back working on your fine old mog, looking forward to the next

You should have explained why you ran a weld on the bearing race. I have used that trick many times.

[@KJOff-Road]

Yes. you are right. i just didn't think of that, at the time.

[@mikescudder4621]

By adding material is it easier to knock out??

[@KJOff-Road]

@@mikescudder4621 Yes. the sides were completely flush with the inside edge of the housing, so there was no way to knock it out. so welding a few blobs on it, gave me some points to hit against, to knock it out.

Buenas, desde brasil... does Argentina have any Unimogs?

[@jonatanechenique7271]

@@mikescudder4621 Yes. Arg was the first country where they were built outside of Germany by Daimler Benz Arg in 1968. U421/431, U416/426 & U406 models were built. You can Wikipedia it under unimog.

@@jonatanechenique7271 Very cool.... I worked as a mechanic in Patagonia, a few hours south of Bariloche, and my boss, an ex army guy, had a Dodge power wagon 6x6!! That thing was pretty cool. But a Unimog is a Unimog!!

A Great fabrication job, looks like a factory mount !

[@KJOff-Road]

Thanks a lot!

[@luuuk7534]

I really like Spur vids of this little Unimog. Your front lift build looks really good. Only thing I would change is the big square tube in between the two lifting arms. I would replace it with something smaller. But it's just personal preference. :)

[@KJOff-Road]

Thank you! And yes, that middle section is a bit too big and beefy for these kinds of small jobs. but i don't really mind. :)

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

Ace! Mog’s back! Some serious design and fabrication there! Great work. Living the 80s style tunes too. Some monster brackets too, what sort of welding kit (current wire diam etc) did you have to use?

[@KJOff-Road]

Thank you very much. I don't have any extreme welding gear, just a 200A Esab, with 1mm wire. So for some of the really thick parts, i made angled cuts, to start the weld deeper down, and then did an extra pass on top. Thanks for watching!

[@tacticalrepair]

Very good quality work, as usual. I assume you will be removing the cab for sheet metal repair at some point? That will be a great time to pressure wash all of that caked grease from the drivetrain. Good video man.

[@KJOff-Road]

Indeed. That side of the gearbox that was shown, is all up underneath the cab, and it's not easy to get in there to wash it. so yeah, it will be done, once the cab is out of the way.
