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

SAV has a 710M converted to diesel for sale on ebay. Pictures and description of the truck are on the SAV website. If nothing else it is interesting to look at.

Andy, did you see the wiper motor? Not the cleanest install but it still would be nice to improve the gas milage.

I hadn't noticed until you brought it up. I went back and looked. I wonder who makes it or where it came from?

Andy, did you see the wiper motor

Don't forget though guys, it says on the SAV site that the vehicle has been totally changed to 12 volts!
(It would suit mine though )

Good point Peter. that would make a difference. I notice that they had to do some modifiications in the bed also. The shaft having to be balanced and the shifter needing to be adjusted didn't do much to inspire me to look at the ebay listing.

What I did think is that it was a big plus for SAV and for Willi, or whoever made the entry, to be straight up about potential problems.

I wonder what type of mileage it gets?

Andy

What is the link to this on Ebay? What do they want for it?

Thanks

On the SAV website he has what I think is supposed to be a link, but I couldn't get it to work. There is no price mentioned on the SAV website I suppose because they want people to bid on it on ebay. I'll look on ebay later when I have time.

Andy

I just went to ebay motors and quieried "diesel Pinzgauer" and it came right up. There have been 5 bids so far and the highest I think was $2,605.00 and the reserve has not been met. That's the best I can do for you.

A diesel engine often burns a bit of oil. It be interesting to see what happens when a bit of oil gets spit on the rear tire, the way the exhaust pipes are located!
I personally would change that setup.

Here are pictures from a Pinzgauer 710 with a mercedes diesel engine that is for sale in Prague. However it looks like it has not been done it such a nice way as the one from SAV.

Thanks guys for the information.

For me, the mods made to vehicles never really seem to work out. Problems and more problems like the one listed.

With the price of fuel, this conversion would have to really give 25 to 30 miles per gallon to justify the costs to do all the mods.

Just my thought.

I know that allot of people that off road want more power than they have.

It's been my experance that I always have the power, even in 4 banger jeeps, but I might loose traction from not having the right tread on my tires.

Just me, but I have been wrong before as my wife and kids always seem to remind me. Life is sometimes really tuff .

The location of the radiator bothers me a lot. Behind the front wheel. On a rocky road while turning the radiator might get damaged!

Regards,

Jacques

Is it just me and my lack of knowledge or do the rear springs look a little cockeyed?

I've done a/c in 2 Pinzes and I did not see any outlets... sometimes I get a little anal,but the control panel is a real cobble job. Kinda a cut and paste. I'm not saying a re-power is bad,I just feel if attention is paid to the smallest details,confidence with the over-all job would be increased and would justify the price (whatever that may be).
