Todays snag

So I thought I did pretty good with this.

Very nice! Congrats on both.

The spinner looks pretty conventional, but that breaker looks kind of interesting. It that a self-adjusting anvil in the front? Nice mounting frame that somebody made.

Yes. Fully adjustable and floating. I thought the same thing. I cannot find any markings on either one. I was hoping somebody might be able to help me identify them

Scooped these up over the weekend. Tractor was a freebie, runs and cuts perfectly.

35 ton splitter had some issues... guy dropped it off a trailer broke a hydraulic fitting, snapped the carb off the motor and wrecked the throttle/governor mechanism, trashed the return hose, and blew the tires off the the wheels. Paid $175 for it. Put another $75 into it and she's rockin and rollin, just gotta tweak a few things. Not too shabby, I'm happy.

I should have noticed the longer wheelbase right away

Anyways, that’s a sweet rig!! I’m super envious. I grew up in a 1972 406.

It looks to be in good shape. Not beaten up. I’m sure it won’t be too bad getting it back to drivable. Is that a 3 way dump? A lot of them had latches in all 4 corners, so you could dump in every direction.
My dad used his, next to a backhoe, to make roads where no one else wanted to even try. These things are very, very good off-road. I’m sure you’ve seen the European Truck Trials.

unfortunately this one has no dump action. yeah overall its in pretty serviceable shape. windshield is pretty f-ed which sucks, but all the other glass is good. a little floorboard work, but other than that the cab is in quite good shape for its age and where its lived

I’m sure a windshield won’t be too difficult to get a hold of. These old Unimogs are still in use many places. I feel an urge to visit MI when this is running. Lol

Awesome product for the new shop. Isn’t one of the UK or European guys doing a restore on one right now? Might be worth looking for that thread.

 

[GCJenks204]

@Adamski is the guy I was thinking of. Here’s the thread I saw.
