Re: Are there 2 types of drive-shafts? Or maybe after marke
As this truck is new to me, I am going to assume not the drive train it left the factory with. Hi/low neutral is great, until you sit in the driveway wondering why the truck isn't moving... D'oh I cleaned the shaft as best as I could, I have felt every surface on the thing with my hands, scraped off...

Spins freely, and this truck is nice because you can pretty much sit under it.
I am going to attack it with de-greaser and a toothbrush and see what I find.

Re: Introduction. I finally bought one, I am in San Antonio
Another thing I learned from you guys was to use straps. 4 in total, crossed under truck hooked to the outriggers. This worked very well, but the angles caused the hooks to bend, but the straps held for the 1,000 or so miles. Plus front and rear chains, mostly for extra safety The Pinz would be bett...

Are there 2 types of drive-shafts? Or maybe after market?
The reason I ask, and I feel a little dumb, is that I cannot find all the grease fittings. There is one on the shaft, but the other two, I am at a loss. I noticed the marking "USA 371" on the u-joint closest to the hi/low transfer case. Something tells me not original Swiss stock? Also, wh...

Re: Introduction. I finally bought one, I am in San Antonio
The cheaper one was in Arizona if I remember, it only was listed for a day. It was white and missing the rear top cover, which are expensive... I like that front plate, but if I can get another I will probably send it back to the PO, I would bet it has some memories, and this aint Arizona. Has the S...

Re: Introduction. I finally bought one, I am in San Antonio
Thanks. I bought some land out in the Texas hill country and needed a 4x4. I was watching ebay for Jeeps, military broncos, even considered a Ma Deuce and that's when I discovered the Pinzgauer. The guy wanted like 8,500 for it, but by the time I had thought about it (overnight) and called him, it w...

Introduction. I finally bought one, I am in San Antonio
Hello everyone. Purchased my first Pinzgauer (710M) out in Arizona and trucked it back to Texas. Got it from a very nice guy who owned it for the last 10 or so years, he used this truck a lot, but you can tell it was his baby. Seems like he did everything I have read about upgrades. So far, I have c...
