THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

Thanks for that bit of info on the gasket! I am about to place my order and will be able to switch to the three notch gasket before the invoice generates! As for fitting an M14.... :twisted: yeah, I called the U.S. rep and spoke to them about that. They told me that I could do it but, I would have t...

Hello all! It has been a while since I had any progress with my Pinz but, I finally got the head out and to the machine shop! They told me that the valves are in perfect shape, which is surprising when you look at the pics of the Pistons....I am looking for any crossover part numbers that anyone may...

Hecklebone in CO has a spare set of pistons and gasket set he was selling for $500. He did a rebuild and had a D24 guy help him so maybe a good resource. Definitely got to d24t.com they know that engine. I have actually sent Hecklebone a message regarding his rebuild but have not heard back from hi...

What do any of you know about the possibility of using the 300td from a Mercedes? It is a mechanical motor and has a great torque curve!

That really does suck. So, what have you decided to do? Rebuild or use a different motor? I have not looked into what it would take to transplant the 5 cyl. motor. I would really like to stick with an all mechanical motor...

Well, it looks like my motor needs a rebuild or replacement! Compression was at 250-320 psi... The problem seems to be that parts for these motors are near impossible to find. I wish I could just replace it with something more readily available. Anyone got a line on rebuild parts for the D24T? Thank...

Thanks for the info guys. I think that 100mm is probably where it is at. I appreciate all the input you have given.

Thanks, Jim! If anyone else would care to measure as well, I would appreciate the input. I do not doubt Jim's figures, just would like to get an average and go with the larger size...

Thanks for the reply. I know the center hole is not very important but, still need the size. I actually have a 718 so, can't exactly use my measurements. I am trying to get this info for a friend who is getting set up as a dealer for Hutchinson. He is trying to cater to Pinzes and other "odd&qu...

So, what is the center hole diameter for the 710/712 wheel? I know the bolt hole is 5x160 but, need the center hole size.

Thanks,

Phil

Haf-e, Thanks for the info! May be more economical to simply buy a car and then transplant the motor...I wonder what internal differences there are between the N/A vs. turbo? Could I just bolt on the turbo and call it done? Also, it is too bad those electronic overdrive son the manual transmissions ...

What a story...I have known several Delta Operators and, was in that very same C Company from Panama mentioned in the story (although I joined them when they moved to Puerto Rico). My former Sergeant Major told me that he has MANY hours behind the wheel of a SOCOM Pinzgauer...


R.I.P. Chief!

So, I have recently had a bunch of work done to my 718 (IP rebuild, Injector rebuild, new timing belt, new glow plugs, belts, starter, etc...), and she is still spewing clouds of black smoke and consuming oil faster than it should. I am having a compression test done this weekend and, should the com...

Lorenz,

I will definitely keep your info, thanks! I ended up finding one at SAV and it was quickly delivered. The Pinz is FINALLY funning again!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Phil

Stekay: I was a bit skeptical about the missing bits but, SGB Pinzgauer also said that they have come across modified starters on some of their builds. The shop is a well respected, older business here locally and I have no reason to doubt their claim, especially since they are the ones who called i...
