Nothing sadder than seeing those things sitting in the bush and rusting away. I would love to see you pick one and start a rebuild series. The merc would look great with a set of super singles, a wicked paint job and a timber tray

Hi Steve you "clarification" of the 1924 date for the keyboard warriors made me chuckle. Just remember any comments are a positive for the KZfaq algorithm 👍

remember this Steve,an old wise man once said,ya cant drink all day if ya dont start in the morning....be blessed brother,another good show and thanks for sharing

Your wife is the most stable camera person around

Great to see the 1924 on the move again Steve, man that truck deserves a full revamp. Probably the best trucks ever made, EVER!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

still runs like a bloody sewing machine , quick respray and windscreen and that thing looks like its ready to go on the hume hauls mate , nice one

A relic from the days when Mercedes meant QUALITY !

So this is a 346 with the OM355 then. The L1924 for export was made between 1981 and 1988 it seems. 19t gross and 11t payload. Beautiful vehicle with fantastic engine sound.

That Engine still sounds sweet !

Gday Steve, I really enjoyed the livestream that day, it’d be great to see this restored back to its former glory, great episode mate, cheers

The old Benz is a beautiful treasure! 👍Are you going to rebuild it completely? 🤔 Greetings from Berlin Germany ✌

Love the line of trucks you were driving backwards and forwards in front of, trucks from all over the world!

Wonderful to see that old girl move again. She's a beauty!

Hey up Steve i like the way merc number there trucks it's simple, would be super sweet to see this one back on the road doing work

Thanks Steve. It's great to see all the faimly in and having a go cobber. Top vid and job well done on follow up to the live livestream.🤠

The old girl still runs good Steve, some wheels and tires and cleaning with some service work, she’ll be ready to work again! Thanks for sharing brother, Kirk from Louisiana, USA 🇺🇸 sending prayers and positive vibes for you and your family! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻💯💯💯

The local milk factory used a number of these old Benz's to pick up from local dairy farms on the Midnorth coast back in the early 70's...both ridged and single axle trailers , those were the days 😊

Really cool from the land down under!!

Awesome morning little brother and family from another country down under awesome adventure as always say hi to the wife and family pray yall have an awesome day as always another awesome adventure with awesome Ole iron

Would be great if you could find another cab and bring it back to life, seems like all the mechanicals are good on it.

Hi mate, I hope all’s good 🙂 On restoring the cab: this cab was used on Mercs for the Brazilian (and other export) markets until very recently; like until 5 years ago! The roof and everything except the rear right-hand side looks saveable. Maybe source a right-hand rear quarter and a door from Brazil? Possibly also a good source for replacement glass and seals, and parts tend to be cheap over there 🙂

Great to see her moving!!

Nice old Mercedes truck👍🏼👍🏼. The old stuff are more reliable than the new driving computers😉.

Hey Steve. Thanks for the episode. It's probably just me but I love the sunlight there in Australia. It seems cleaner and more white then here in the northern hemisphere. Might be cause it's winter there. Angle of the sun and all. Anyway, great to see the old gal moving under her own power. Love the sound of the dual exhaust on the tractor too. Nice that the wife helps with the filming. Makes the channel a family thing. Saw the daughter too and the cute dog. We got a terrier mix. Callie. She's smart as a whip and hunts the chipmunks all day. She's up to 18 this season already. Well mate till next time ... 👊😎👍

You must have needed a case of beer, after that one! It's too bad the truck was vandalized. Great to see it moving. Thank You.

Great stuff mate very enjoyable

Awesome just been looking at there tractors . Mercedes used to be something special hey

Moves well enough a wee bit of work be ready for the road again 😂😂

Haha that Same playing hard to get, its always 5 problems to sort out before you can get to the original problem at my farm and I've got a centauro 60 aswell and that starter had me laughing and cursing at the same time. I know the feeling, cheers from The Oaks.

After all these years the Benz still runs pretty smooth…..but your Tractor needs some love 🙂

Schnitzelburger on the move, Good work Stevo and film crew 🤠

Amazing collection of beautiful trucks. Cheers for sharing. Legend

Looks like a good base for a ground up restoration. Find a clean cabin and away you go. It runs and is drivable. That's a bonus.

Thank you for sharing love watching your channel watching from South Africa please do more videos on the old Volvo trucks thank you

You looked right at home behind the wheel of the old schnitzel burger mate! Another good video son.

I thinks it's all tongue in check about the year Steve. Thanks for the video mate. Cheers Evo.

I’m watching this whilst taking a break from working on a 9 ton version of this truck 😂

Well she sure drives Steve! runs really well, but not a surprise with a M-B. (Mostly Bulletproof) 8^) Howdy to Georgina and Chloe too, from Canada!

Once you got it going, it was sweet as a nut👍

Great to see the old girl moving under her own power, sounds healthy as after a 6 year slumber. Even the modern ZF's have an insanely low 1st gear in them, great for starting uphill with a full load but not much else (most blokes start off in 2nd empty on flat ground).

Sound with Power 🇩🇪

Stunning! Sheer beauty...Think Big.. Lovely Truck to go shopping with or for typical Australian picknick in the outback... 😂 You've got to brush it up somehow leaving some patina... Great German Truck... Have fun with it

brillint steve wonderful vid ,wife/truck!

I have a F350 with an OM321 (MB1111/LP321/unimog) engine. you must save this truck, it´s legend.

It was pretty obvious from the last video that it wasn't a truck from the year 1924 🤦🤣🤣

# 1 here brother, you r my mentor 🙏

Your trucks are the best

You have such a neat collection of stuff there!

Brought back some memories for me Steve :-) Give her a wash n paint the wheels n she'll be a good linehaul rig lol Seriously though, Parts are good value on those old girls and she sounds and drives nice so a bit of love and a wash would make a nice series. Still plenty in the middle east being used hard n overloaded to buggery so it'd be nice to see her scrubbed up a bit and put to use.

Another great video mate. 50 years old and right away an air line blows, don’t they make anything to last😅

These Mercedes Benz trucks are very popular here in Brazil, there are still many Brazilians who like this model and to this day there are several Mercedes trucks running here on Brazilian streets.

Thanks Steve😊

Amazing good working 👍👍

Ha ha there’s some big huntsman’s ready to crawl out of that interior ha ha

Great truck to drive around Canberra and piss off a few pollies. From a time when Mercedes was high quality, not like today's shit

You can't see it when you're in it, but it is handy to be able to see out.

Steve, the old girl looks pretty heavy duty. I noticed your wearing a long sleeved shirt. Must be cooler weather. We are close to 100 degree farenheit with high humidity here. With some cab repairs you will have a nice runner. Jim

Молодец удачи и успехов

She is alive mate runs great to be a old school tractor 🚜

Hi that Mercedes is my favourite truck that you own Steve I dont know why but it just is mate 👍

Cool old truck 👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

I think i know what engine is in it. It's the OM 355 which is a six cylinder (not sure of the displacement). Many of these L series rigs had the smaller OM 352 which is a 5.7 litre inline-6 with or without a turbo. That engine produced between 130 and 180 horse. As for this one i'm not sure.

Very nice bud love content

Lots of these ol bastards still at work all across asia, must be tough as ol boots. Cheers

Hey mate was great to see the 1924 Merc move. When it started the left headlight came on but when it was going it went off. Was this the next model up from the 1419 model. They had antenne on the front guards. Cheers. 👍👍👍👍👍

Unfortunately there are a lot of folks out there who only know Mercedes from their cars. They have no idea that they built anything else.

george miller could write a lot sequels with that lot

Camera footage was fine, dont panic

Considerably better condition than the many that are still used daily in Africa.

Here in Brazil it is very common to see a truck similar to this, the 1113

Australia kicks ass

Mate, good truck but the bloody windscreen could do with a clean. Well what there is of it. LOL. When you could not get her out of the rut I was thinking go get the Zetor then I realised that the Zetor is only 2 wheel drive and no blade for extra traction weight. Thank god for the centauro. Cheers.

Steve when did you get the Roadcommander ! do a video on the old girl please

Shes a Beaut Mate Fancy Some Donut Thinking you Meant 1924 Galah. Cheers

A truck worth saving has many fans, and this is what attracted me to your channel. I wish you Good luck👍

Hey Steve the old benz is fantastic bit quieter than the GM Kenny least you can talk in the Benz,and we could hear you LOL.Thanks for explaining what the numbers are for always did wonder ,hey when you were driving around did i spot a tidy red Valiant Ute at oone of the homes ,is it yours 😮😮 any chance we can check it out on one of the video,s ,old Trucks old Tractors and old Ute 😊😊😊 Cheers mate Kym Adelaide

Sounds like the tractor heart is going bad

the old 1418 1419 1924 model Mercedes were one of the reliable trucks that made 1 man operators and companys a lot off money . i wounder if there are stil a few out bush

Steve just source rims from Mercedes bus or v series trucks e.g 2233 2235 models , slots in rims can vary, and shape too, modern rim slots look better

W. 1924

Sound d like stater bud

steve give the old girl life again calll it the yellow bird

Are they your anti snake bite boots Steve? 😂

Hi Steve and Mrs. Steve I' m thinking only a dummy would think you would think the truck is a 1924 year model ! Cheers and 🍺🍺

Hi Steve 1924 model hey, fucks she's flash for that early in the century lol😅, let's pretend we didn't here that😂, my 1996 1418 bus has the om366 turbo , 300,000km but smoking it's arse off from sitting 6 years no driving only running every 6 months , got the c tec 24v charger permanent connection so batts are lively and she fires up quick smart but bluey smoke dominated, hold perfect air too , no leaks fr9m nothing air related, unreal I think as my kenworth leaked every where

i thought i saw this the other week

It runs so well - and replacement parts are probably easy to get. Make it roadworthy?

Steve was that a Eaton shift knob on the Benz? Thanks for the video.👍👍

Belo caminhão linda máquina gostei passeiro tamo junto gostei do vídeo parabéns belo trabalho gostei do caminhão Belo caminhão linda máquina gostei passeiro tamo junto valeu
