Unimog info... ???

[Bobby Bourgoin]

Greeting's
I've seen Unimog for sale, and in some of the description says "Manuel with Torque Converter"...
Is this standard in a Mog, or a (?rare?) option, or a custom job?

I use to drive Steyr Percherons (commonly known as HLVW in the Canadian Military) that had this kind of set-up, and I loved the combination...

Any info...

Thanks

There are many kinds of Unimogs
The 406 Doka airport tugs (rare) came with a torque converter and manual transmission
Check here: http://www.unimog.net/exchange/ and scroll down to #25 for an example (sold fairly cheap but owner rated it a 5/10 condition).

Thanks, #25 was one if the ones I saw, that made me think.

I don't know of another type/model that came with the torque converter but there are probably some as Unimogs always have strange one off configurations it seems.

[Bobby Bourgoin]

Seeing as there were some that came from factory with a torque converter, it's safe to say that one could be added... Thanks

Any idea how the heat is in a Mog?

[TechMOGogy]

Depends on the model your thinking of... assuming a 406/416 Doka then it's great as many have a secondary heater under the rear seat.
