Unimog 401

1956 Mercedes-Benz Model 401 Description:

Mercedes Unimog 401. Has a Meyer snow plow, PTO operated winch, and crawler/working gear. Everything operates as expected, although with the winch I only ever tested it once and I've never plowed snow with it. Crawler/working gear and reverser function fine, pto works as expected, brakes are a bit weak but hold on a hill, all six speeds work, and the 4wd and diff lock work properly. There's a set of tire chains, an extra set of wheels with one being a matching mounted spare, a draw bar, the front bumper, a large assortment of misc. parts and manuals in both English and German. It's an older restore, maybe 15 or 20 years back, hasn't seen much use since. Could use new rubber seals on the doors and door windows, and the passenger window is cracked. It functions fine, as it's laminated, so I never got around to replacing it. I believe the seals needed are even in the spare parts box. Windshield and rear window seals have already been replaced. I bought it to skid logs and work in the woods, but it's just too nice to be banging around so I've decided to sell it and use an tractor with dents in it already instead. There's no title for it, I don't think it's ever been registered to drive on the road. These only go about 25 mph, so when I'd run it to town to get fuel I'd bolt the red tractor triangle on the back and head in. I bought it from a guy in Utah who used it for elk hunting, and he got it from a guy in Canada that did the restore and used it for plowing snow. If you want the coolest thing on the block to plow your driveway in the winter, this is it!
