Thank you sir👍 Have a great weekend

Here in Makaysia we have this in "Timber Jinker" modified with Volvo gearbox using 911 cabin with some wooden roof,using 366 or 360 engine and exhaust pipe silencer giving aeroplane sound

I'm not surprised, they are incredibly sturdy. The national guard used them up to 2000.

Experience of a lifetime I'm sure👍😁👍

Just like mine. Stood all alone in a parking lot destined for an export to or Iraq. Brakes was all stuck, no power. 45 minutes of work, we were roling again. Now, phase one is almost complete. I hope I can use it in the woods, however the distance is close to 250 km. It should be alright 👍

Yes they just keep going and going👍

It is tough. But it is also a bit of a fight every time something breaks. Locating spareparts, getting them at a fair price. I guess it's like going hunting for treasure.

More to come👍👍👍😉

Hi there. Thank you very much. Yeah the trafficators have been modified, just a little bit. I came with big rubber plastic indicators, mounted on the fenders, however that was soon changed to what you see today. A lot cheaper too😅 I would like to take on the panzer trail, when I'm done, to see just how good it is on the battlefield. I have a good idea, but it would be fun to test out. I'll be sure to post a video when that happens👍👍👍

Yes it is 👍👍🍺

👍😁👍

I sat down with my neighbour last night, he has an old land rover 102" from the late 70s. We been sitting an listening to another neighbour going on and on about his new ford ranger. We could quickly agree, that my truck hand his land rover, only needed a push start. 😉

It was. Fun fact, the driveline from the old 312, was roughly used on the La328 🙌

Thank you very much, that means a whole lot. Wow, what a fantastic day all of a sudden😁👍😁 Actually I grew up without computers and consols, but played with my friend's outside in the sun. I have family in the US and the UK, perhaps that's where I picked up the language. I have been in US once, and in the UK a little bit more. But thank you, and you are a 10 out of a 10 for being fantastic. All the best from here😁😁😁😁

​@@flemmingfromdenmark6907damn I was pretty sure you were british 😂

@beegxxc9832 😅😅 No, but you are right, I am using pounds as a reference. I was thinking that it would make more sense using a currency that more use, than the dkk.

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 haha right. Wish I'll be as good as you one day - it's hard to achieve for a non native speaker.

@beegxxc9832 you are to kind. Thank you very much, but I'm sure you are just as good. I use English often in my work. When I was younger, I went to gymnasium, a linguistics line.

Fascinating history. Thank you for sharing👍👍👍😁

These will go, as long there's diesel in the tank👍👍😁👍👍

Anytime. I'm soon to do a video about the brake system. I have big issues... Have a great day👍👍👍

Yes, i was told that the old model is still being produced.. amazing, but why change a good design, right?!?

Yes they do.👍👍💯

It is build in a different era. Then the motto then was quality over the amount of vehicles, now the direct opposite.

She has only let me down once, when the handpump stopped working. It was an easy fix, and some chemicals in the fuel tank. All 👍

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 das Schrauben macht doch Spass an solchen Fahrzeugen. Wartungs und Reparatur Freundlich, tja und Dieselpest kann leider passieren. (Hatte ich im Heizöltank einen Pilz der ständig den Filter verstopfte.) Aufwendige Reinigung des Tanks ist unumgänglich.

@serioustrouble63 yes that is true, however when i do that, it rarely goes into gear. I found with a moderate acceleration, half way in clutch twice, it goes in 90% of the time👍 But I need it out more, it sits to much in the barn. But thank you for the advice, it is much appreciated 👍👍👍

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 Welcome...I'm Firefighter for 30 years now and drove old firetrucks with unsynchronized gearboxes... take a lot of practice... as we say "shifting is no secret... everyone should hear it! " 😁

Did yours have syncro transmission?

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 Yes it had

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 Yes, fortunately ! I can't send a picture via YT !

@@JK-uu8zm that's ok, I know the 911. With ist powerful om352. 5 speed transmission as well?

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 It had direct injection ! But it was relatively heavy for offroad-conditions and had no differential locking

All danish i asure you. Sweden don't use "å", we do in Denmark. Have a great day

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 sorry because of "sweden"

@@benedikt7218 hey. Don't worry, I'm not that easily offended. 👍 You are forgiven🤣🤣👍 Have a great evening 😀

Only time this one has failed on me, was when the feed pump, got ruined by biodiesel. There's a video about that 👍👍

Do your all modify it with noisy exhaust like aeroplane? Back in Malaysia it is common,but now except for Timber lorries it is declining,despite smaller CC and horsepower compare to today's truck standards,it has strong durability!

@sivaratnamasabaratnam8946 I'm working on installing a euro 3 partikal filter, that will kill the sound totally, but I won't be attacked by activists

🤣🤣 it does now👍👍

Thank you. I'm considering changing the colour, but I'm not sure

It still confuses me sometimes with the 4x4. But when steaming ahead in 5th gear and only reaching 40kmt, I know I'm still in 4x4. Don't worry it can take it. 😁

Holy shit your right, I had to watch it again to see. The explanation on the 4x4 was wrong. So actually I got out off the field using only rear drive, but the entire trip through the fields was in 4x4. The two straight lines on the gearstick indicate 4x4. But when I got the truck, there's was no knob on the gearstick, so I had to guess.

Hi, and welcome👍😁👍

Love your country. I had the pleasure of visiting Lisbon.

It is a workhorse. Municipality kept many of these running to year 2000. That's when my 328 was send out of commission.

​@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 😂😂😂 sim,são muito robustos e acho que esse é o ingrediente principal do sucesso desses valentes caminhões,desbravaram as estradas do Brasil e fizeram história junto com o progresso do país e por que não dizer de várias partes do mundo.

They are robust, super easy to maintain. A bit difficult to repair, because parts gets more and more difficult to find. Just like going treasure hunting🤣

Thank you very much, I love it too. It was quite the ordeal getting into the shape it is in now. One could say, it came in a box😉👍

Thank you very much Have a great weekend

Thank you sir, have a nice day👍😁👍

Thank you😁 there's still some our there. However, it gets harder and harder to locate. Try mobile.de or autoline.com Happy hunting👍👍👍

The good ones are getting rare to buy. But there are still many rusting slowly in fields or barns all over Germany. Most of the acceptable ones are used for restoration and are far too valuable to obtain as a hobby. The hard part is to find them getting sold somewhere.

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 Thx a lot 😉 I will let U know when I find my one ...

Please do. 👍👍

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 looking for a big one I found .... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLCBjbSq08nDhoU.html ... It is mine already 🙃

Thank you😁👍

@Pourya amazing. But hey, it's a durable machine, however spareparts are hard to come by.

Dying breed unfortunately

Thanks dude. It is currently under a brake rebuild. Suddenly only the front brakes worked.. 😳

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 Very good, hope you make more videos soon, it gives the feeling of driving yourself :-) cool :-) Thank you :-) 👌❤

@2596081 I sure will. I'll make one when I'm doing a brake test. That will take us on a 15 minute trip. 👍

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 I would be happy 😀nice i love old Mercedes Benz Truck 👍👍

Just proves that these are meant to last👍👍👍

Thank you sir. 😊

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 sir, if you somewhere around California, i really interested to see your piece of art in real life.

@fahimshahriyar2801 no sir, not even close. I'm in Denmark, Europe. But there should be beautiful vintage trucks in California. Happy hunting👍👍

Here most trucks was Volvo or Scania.

I come from the cold North. Denmark 🇩🇰

Nowadays the torch is used to carefully loosen up bolts. 😁

Yes sir. There's a few more that has that special sound. My top 3 is. 1. My own OM321 or Om352 2. The Dodge powerwagen 3. The 6,2 ltr M998 engine. 3. Runner up is the U354 multifuel engine, sounds 👌

Tak for du ville køre med😁 Det er en helt anden måde at kører lastvogn på. Der skal arbejdes, og tålmodighed... Den her er fra Aalborg beredskabsstyrelse, og udlånt til Aalborg kommune til?!?

I may have many questions for you 👍😉👍

The 911, could be ordered as 4x4. The 911, was a improved version.

Thank you sir👍👍👍

Perhaps an L1313? More or less the same cab, mine here was built for army use. Slow but steady👍

@Flemming from Denmark , my dad's truck didn't have any of the turn signals and horn on the steering wheel. Also, he had 2 small pedals, 1 was a high beams and the other 1 was a brake retarder. Also, if I recall, the engine was rated at 400hp or 500hp US metrics.

@NDG but it was a stubnose like mine? Was that a daytime tractor, or a entrepreneur vehicle?

@Flemming from Denmark it had round nose just like your but I think the hood or bonnet was bigger. It wasn't a cab over looking and it was a 26 foot box truck.

@NDG I would love to see photos.

Thank you. 👍😁👍

Yes, it was a slip of the tongue. Sorry.

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 You can admit, it only was to test our attention, wasn't it? ;)

@@kholzbauer 🤣🤣 slip of the tongue 🤣🤣

I remember been working all week on a few Sprinters, the 513... Oh man, those were in bad shape.

I was wondering why I saw so many fuel injection tubes.

Det er også korrekt. Men alle lastvognene blev bestilt til forsvaret, og fordelt derfra. Den du ser her, har både været en tur forbi søværnet, civilforsvaret, beredskabsstyrelsen, og til sidste tid i Aalborg beredskab. Militæret spænder jo bredt, fra hæren, søværnet, flyvevåbnet og hjemmeværnet (cf dengang) Farverne skiftede også fra koksgrå til blå til orange gullig. Men korrekt CF står for civile forsvaret. Ofte overdrages også udtjente køretøjer til CF, da der er løbende udskiftning af materiel. Ofte sælges materiellet via auktioner, hvor du og jeg så har mulighed for at byde ind. Den her stod ved en irakisk skrothandler i Hammel, og havde planlagt den skulle sendes til Irak, det syntes jeg så ikke den skulle, og korte forhandlinger senere, var den på vej hjem til min gårdsplads. Lang historie, det må du undskylde. 👍😅😅

This one has🤣 I pulled out a neighbours tractor, that was stuck in the field. No problem👍

Oldie but goldie👍

It sounds like a cool monster truck, however here un Denmark, there's so many rules and regulations that makes such a project impossible. The reason for the lack of rear shock absorbers on this model not mercedes were due to the ability go off road. The frame would twist quite a lot, it has also been tested to be so😅 These were not build for comfort, but for practicality, and they do work off road...

Everything. 👍🤣

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 oh but your bottom must really hurt when your doen .

More the head really. The noise level, the heat and the smells. But it is worth every paracetamol 👍👍

Yes sir, it was a slip of the tongue. I can't edit the video, mostly because I have no idea how to do that. And the video footage is deleted. To make room for more videos. Have a great day

I know what you mean. I really want to test it on the military 4 by 4 course. This may be old-school, but I have no doubt that it would still handle such a course. I have taken it to the woods. Never gotten stuck. The 1113 has full air brakes right?! The La328 does not, it's with air supported one line hydraulic brakes. One break means no brakes.

Thank you👍😁👍

I don't know, today one way tomorrow another.

Det er også en arbejdshest i særklasse. Utroligt hvad man kan byde de her, og slippe godt fra det.

Sad bagi en Unimog fra 2/6 artellery fra Skive Kaserne en vinterdag i 1979 da vi og 8 andre kørte igennem Oksbøl skydeterræn efter endt skarpskydning med 155mm selvkørende haubits m-109 !, kørte fra grus ud på et meget kort stykke asfalt med et 90 graders sving i og dét var spejlglat så vi forulykkede - fik en salg i hovedet mens Unimog en væltede rundt og vågnede op i græsset med Unimogen liggende på siden lige ved siden af , køreren blev kastet halvejs ud af førerhuset og brækkede kravebenet - ellers ingen andre skader , heldigt.

Very... 🤣🤣 Well, down steep hills, it gets close... to 80🤣 And the comfort is totally gone, if there ever where any👍👍

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 DEATH,,,Chewing on a cracker

It's KPH, not MPH !

@reynaldoflores4522 regardless sir, it is ambitious. Topspeed is set at 73kph🤣

Are you going?

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 I‘m not a happy owner of an oldtimer but I love the atmosphere on this event. So I will visit the area with my wife and another couple. Thanks Flemming

@@peterhomfeldt7287 you could do a video about it, perhaps thereby spread the love of vintage, classic vehicles. 😉

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 Would be a good idea,thanks 👍

I found that it can also run on HVO fuel, and cooking oil👍👍

That is a tough job. Well done. I'm told that to this day, the old 4x4 trucks are still preferred for that job.

I'll let you know👍😉👍

Don't worry, there will be more to come👍

Practice makes perfekt

Minor mistake sorry. 🤣

Yes sir it is😁 Who needs powersteering?!?🤣

Tusinde tak skal du have. Jeg er også stolt over den.😁😁 Jeg fandt en video der fortæller historien om mercedes lastvognen, yderst spændende. Prøv at søg på.. mercedes benz lp - lk her på youtube, så kommer der vist 2 forskellige videoer.

The mighty roar 😉👍

Yes. I found that the transmission works best, without revenge up between gears, I clutch out, almost hit idle, straight in gear👍

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 ya ok , but gagging the engine speed between shifts works too . Most soldiers run the engine at max RPM to do what they have to do , and gagging the engine like I said works but it takes practice just like getting with the woman of the house . Happy Father’s Day .

@jamesbeemer7855 Happy fathers day sir. I will try again, I drive an Volvo F12 with an Eaton fuller non synchro, but that was a totally different drivestyle. But you are right it should work better on the MB. Practice practice pations I guess👍👍👍😉

I was close to buy a second one, this one in worse shape. However it was only rear driven, and had no engine. It was an L322.

I'm not sure about America, however these trucks still see action in Africa, and in the Middle East.

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 Yes thats raight we use this truck in iraq so much

Yeah it was a slip of the tongue. I didn't realise until the comments started rolling in. Sorry

Lige præcis, og den var i brug helt ind til 2000.

I bought it for £2500, in a condition that was not too great. Engine error Transmission error Transfer case error Brakes stuck on all four I had to get it transported home, that costed me an additional £1500. Left to do Leafsprings on rear axle Rust on cab Brakesystem overhaul again Tires But I'm slowly getting there👍 More to come on this channel. Have a great day

It's even worse when in 4 by 4💪

That is a really good question...😅

Perhaps it means "commercial" ?!?

I think I figured it out. Lk stands for "Light class", so my guess is it stands for, light all terrain class....

🤣🤣🤣

Hi John. The LA328, was one of the first stubnose trucks that came after the 312. Same frame, same in a lot of ways, but using stubnose design, ment longe bed, higher view. The first came with the same engine as the 312, but the 911, had a newer engine and turbocharged. Even the braking system had an upgrade. So one could say, the 911 is an upgrade 328. Some even came with powersteering and syncromeshed transmissions... that was a big deal back then😉👍👍

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 Well, ours was a 1961 build 911 Allrad delivered to the German Red Cross , had direct injection (afair 125 HP), was synchronised but was not turbocharged nor powersteered !

Uncountable variants were produced, and , as Mercedes still does, customer adapted ! 😄

@@JK-uu8zm 🤣🤣👍👍

Thank you👍😉👍

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 Please treat her well. I've seen so many of her brothers and sisters in Africa mistreated.

@roelkomduur8073 I will, you could say, now she's 💯 better, than when I got her👍

That or because of demand made more the necessity of cheaper cars, less material, the new order. Sad really... it would be easier to change out the engine, than making a entire new car, but in reality it is probably cheaper to build a complete new car. One of the major reasons why cars rust so severe l, is due to the reuse of iron. Cars today are made of less and less pure iron. Old school cars used sheet metal around 2 mm thick, now it is barely 1mm.

No powersteering, in here we call it Armstrong steering👍

🤣🤣👍 Will do👍👍💋🤣

I'm sorry you feel that way about my "so called" choice. But regardless sir, it is my choice not yours, and you don't see me calling you names. Mind your manners, like the rest of the fine folk here, and try to have a great day anyway.

Yes it is, 110 hp. Not much, but it ain't ponies👍😁👍 I know it was a slip of the tongue. I'm sorry😉

@@flemmingfromdenmark6907 It may not have many hp, but I bet it really has torque to move many things
