Unimog 406 startup & test drive, testing the crawl ratio

[LsBaba]

It must have been about 1974 (when I was 13 or 14) that I became a fan of Unimogs (at least for a while). My family were in Germany on holiday, driving a lot on the Autobahns. My brothers and I tried to spot more of them than anyone else. Restoring one must be a major job.

@LsBaba It probably was, luckily the previous owner did it and not me. Thanks for your comment, and your sub!

Love it! Do all 406's have the supercrawler gearbox ??

[Amund7]

@s1914 No, they say it's pretty rare, all I know is it was extra equipment when you ordered these new.

[s1914]

@Amund7 Can you post some more videos of your Mog please?

[Amund7]

@s1914 You'll have to give me a few more years... it's standing on it's rims right now.

Dude, whats the crawl ratio on that beast? Thats pretty darn low gears... Keep up with the video and come out with some new one.

[UniversalMotorGeraet]

The crawling gear is with the 24 gearbox, 50 meter/hour

Good to see you driving that thing! I think it was getting lonely in the barn.
