August 19, 201113 yr The wheels are the same as the regular but black (Bricklink) and these parts (Brcklink)added. connected with a 3l axle. Closed unimog may not be that common but they do exist.
August 20, 201113 yr Did some tinkering after a friend visited the other day. He was quite impressed with the unimog but asked me why there wasn't a "closed" frame on the loading bed. Well there is now! Nice. Small but efficient mods. Makes the model grow in my eyes. -ED-
August 20, 201113 yr What's the part num for ur black wheels?Also u don't see closed backs that often on a mog ,the flatbed is very common on them so Lego got it spot on. 44772 on BL.
August 21, 201113 yr Finally had time this weekend to build the 8110 :) Regarding the stiff steering. I sinned... I modified the part that causes the problem ("Red Technic, Pin Long with Friction Ridges Lengthwise and Stop Bush"). A snap-off blade utility knife and 10 minutes and the Unimog was "fixed".

August 21, 201113 yr i could make instructions, but it needs massive modifications at the chassis and the cab to get enough space. the serial cab is to narrow and short. i must pump it up to the scale dimensions. The chassis is to short in front of the front axle and i had to shorten the fake engine 1 stud and move it one stud back and down.

August 21, 201113 yr sounds not easy yes, much tries and errors. an example: Building the chassis with two small pneumatic cylinders to lift the cab, and beginning with the cab. works then implement the vario steering and the two small cylinders are not powerfull enough. currently iam modify the front of the chassis to get the place for two big cylinders. and iam waiting for more orange parts
August 21, 201113 yr I made a box today fitting in the back of the Unimog. It's a box for carrying wood chips. The only problem is that I'm not sure where the entrance is for the wood chips, the front of the back. If it's the back, then you will have to remove the chipper before tipping and I have to make a 3 point lifunit. If it's on the front I will have to make a pipe over the cab. The chipper is the next thing to make. I haven't got any pictures yet, they come when I am finished.
August 21, 201113 yr @ Henkl: I have operated a Wood Chipper, and they are common in logging operations here in the Pacific Northwest. The open part of the chip "box" is facing rearward. The chipper is towed, and the branches are places in the back (rear) of the chipper to shoot the chips forward into the box. Edited August 21, 201113 yr by DLuders

August 22, 201113 yr you can try the small cylinders at the front of it or at the back, so the weight of the cab is on the the pins of the front where the cab is attacht to the chassis sorry, but i dont understand what you had written. btw. the big cylinders are implemented at this time. works very smooth and easy in combination with the compressor
August 22, 201113 yr sorry, but i dont understand what you had written. btw. the big cylinders are implemented at this time. works very smooth and easy in combination with the compressor al right then for get what i have say
August 22, 201113 yr http://www.directupload.net/ What wheels are these? Not sure if that picture works,there the really big wheels on Denny's model earlier in this tread! Edited August 22, 201113 yr by davidmull

August 23, 201113 yr Author Here is the first mower: Build by BS-User Heino178. See more pictures in his Brickshelf-folder. Regards, Gerhard
August 23, 201113 yr @DLuders. We have got a chipper too but I will try to make one at the back of the Unimog or at the front whit a crane to enter the wood. Work is in progress, pictures will follow.
August 24, 201113 yr That's one fantastic mower attachment! Someday I'll turn mine into a camper or even a hearse!
August 24, 201113 yr I'm wondering how he split the PTO in two. Is there a clutch somewhere to switch between turning and lifting the mowing-arm ?
August 24, 201113 yr Author I'm wondering how he split the PTO in two. Is there a clutch somewhere to switch between turning and lifting the mowing-arm ? I am not quite sure, if he really splits it. I think he just uses the turning table as a basis to mount the lifting arm. Regards, Gerhard
August 24, 201113 yr For anyone interested iv just nearly finished motorizing my unimog,i went by a youtube clip i seen and its the best iv seen yet! Works great and the mog has very good torque and the steering works like a charm too, You will see the parts and instruction in the clip,the best thing was where we placed the motor its nearly like lego intended it to be there and best of all its still 4X4 :) Id even go as far as saying that it would be great outdoor on offroad :) Thanks to 1plaz62 for sharing this. Heres the clip!maybe someone can fix the link to come up properly!
August 24, 201113 yr Heres the clip!maybe someone can fix the link to come up properly! TA DA Edited August 24, 201113 yr by Alasdair Ryan
August 24, 201113 yr Did also some testing this morning on the RC-mod by 1plaz62. It does work like a charm. Now i've got to order me some extra motors and RC-things.
