Okay I got an email question sent to me from my website but I am not able to answer all the questions. Here is what I was sent, and I have send the person a link to this thread.
Hello,
I think you are the most educated at this sort of stuff, so my questions goes to you.
My father has a 1976 Unimog 416.141 DoKa, which features a 4-speed transmission (5 levers, 1 for front PTO). First of, I didn't know they made a 4-speed tranny for them, just the 6, 8, and 20-speed? How can I tell what tranny it has? He wants lower RPMs and higher speed at the highway, what can he do? And why doesn't this 416 have a tachometer? What's the peak point? It’s supposed to have 110 HP.
And how do they count the 20 gears? That's a lot of gears!
What is the different names and manufacturer(s) (brand) of these trannies?
Would you also happen to know the different gear ratios of each gear in low and high, at each tranny?
What transmission would I likely find in a German 406.121, it has PTO front and rear, if that matters? And it has most likely been used for snowplowing. That is all I know about it, and I would appreciate VERY much if you know anything about this! (I am looking into buying this one, any tips?)
I've heard something about a "cascade box", what is that?
Is there anything else I should know about the transmissions sitting in 406, and 416 Unimogs? Specifications?
Is mostly all parts from the 406 swapable to the 416, and vice-a-versa?
And while we are at it, how can I tell what gearing the axles have, assuming there's no ID-tag? (Besides rotating) And where are the tags located?
Can you adjust the brakes with the "air-things" (not one the mechanical calliper) to pull equal?
Last question, the 416s engine (OM352?) is leaking pretty much oil (and diesel?), the whole engine is usually moist. What can this be? And how can it be fixed? (It have gone 3000 hours, and is also using some oil, I think?)
Oh, and one more thing, can you provide build cards?
Sorry about all the utterly stupid questions, but I can't tell you how much I would appreciate an answer on this - I have been searching the Internet several days now! :)
Best Regards, and Happy New Year!
