Absolutely brilliant ! loved watching this all the way through. What a gorgeous beast of a machine.

I was pulled in the moment I spotted Unimog and the double-A frame gantry crane. Thanks for recording, editing and elevating your terrific time-lapse engine swap.

What a joy! My grandpa used to fix this machines in the Argentinean Army, back in the days. I did help later in life to check arround, what a joy to drive this machines. Thanks for the video and your work!

One of my all-time favourite Unimog videos! A Unimog is pretty much the only vehicle i would swap my Laplander for. Thanks for sharing!

Now THAT is an unboxing !! A thing of beauty.

Amazing, my friend the way you just took it apart methodically and reassembled it. I wish I was nearby to pay you a visit. Respect.

What a great Video ,reminds me of the good old days when mechanical repairs were a joy,,Worked on these for the Australian Army they still have a few around,I do believe they still buy new ones along with the Land Rover Defender,,Great Stuff.

Can't express how impressive this is! Inspirational to be sure!

Just loved these Mogs from my Rhodesian Army days such reliable multi purpose vehicles,nice to see her up and running.

I got tired just watching this guy work....I complain when I have to change a heating furnace small blower motor takes me 2 hrs... enjoyed the music on a sunny afternoon....Good Job !! One man with all the right tools. And the “ patience “ !!!

I like it when a man knows what to do and how to do in his life.

Happiness is having neighbours like this man. Keep up the good work

The greatest ever job I have seen so far. You are so talented bro keep producing such fabulous outputs . I have 421 1982 in Saudi Arabia .

Hey, I saw this video about this guy, working on a stinking Unimog, changing the engine... And just imagine the music. Some classic shit!!.... Seriously, this is awesome, love the combination of the "rough" guy doing this dirty work all by himself, but there is beautiful music in the background, not the usual heavy metal stuff. You did a great job, and I absolutely adore the subtlety hidden in this video. Keep on moggin.

What a great video. Its amazing what you can find on KZfaq when you cant sleep. Absolutely terrific job and the time lapse was perfect. Well done.

I'm impressed by your mechanical skills. Great job.

I bet the decibel level inside the unimog is off the chart have an excellent day

Love vids like this. he sure knows Unimogs. Wish this was a restore vid, would've been great. Bring the whole girl back to life. Looks like Arizona desert, good place for the Unimog.

again, friend, you are an inspiration to many...i could only wish to have your skill and enthusiasm, then my days of prepping for the worst may begin...again, bravo to you!

My guy had his watch the whole time working… real OG 🙌

Shocking!!! Is all I can say. Your patience is unbelievable. Working in your front yard, no lights, no climate control.... Your wide range of skills...amazing. the fact that you cut and weld on the ground makes me crazy to watch. Also the use of the flap wheels...ugh!! those things are terrible... lol Come work for me in my fab shop in Co. In my shop with good quality tools, equipment, lights and climate control you would be amazing...

Awesome - ! Strangely hypnotic video. This man certainly knows his Moggies - !

Der Mann ist der Wahnsinn!! Respekt hoch 10. Ich glaube er hat abgenommen

Very nice indeed, loved watching that. You have an extraordinary skill in being able to tear one of those down and put a new engine in it.

Coolest thing I've seen all week..and almost like I was at a concert in Vienna!

Super mechanic, super film, super truck, super music!!!!!

Thanks for this video ... my machine, I drove him in 1970/71 one year during my army time at the german army ... I still know every screw today :-)

It's like Andy's hobby headquarters but with a real car :) So relaxing to watch something put together so nicely.

I wish you was my neighbor, you the man, I love working on old car's and trucks. GOD bless.

Always wanted a Unimog albeit with a OM615, ..17..36. Served on US Diesel powered unterseeboots. Thank you. Narragansett Bay

Thank you for posting this. I found it thoroughly entertaining as well as informative.

Beautiful and solo.. a great man.

The beauty of its simplicity and reliability

Nice ride, good work, well done..... Enjoy it!

Great video, with the best way, to remove the spare tire 👌

Nice vid - the Beethoven is a really nice change from the usual generic metal/rock!

J' ai conduit un Unimog pendant mon service militaire en Allemagne (Landau) en 1979. Très bon souvenir, véhicule très souple, trop peut être ! Très agréable à conduire.

Nice job !!! Brings me back lon gtime ago.... Drove one of these in Germany in 1983 carrying ammo....and in Gabon in 1990 in the jungle on oil fields....Lovely truck, reliable engine, off road masterpiece...Thanks for sharing !

great to illustrate what it's like to really be driving inside one..

Like the classical during the rebuild, which you did excellently, but would rather hear the purr of the new engine. Still amazed at the excellent cab extension.

This is a dream-machine for adventurous type folk . They have insane ground clearance . It doesn't need a lift kit and bigger tires .

Mognificent... Rembrandt would cower at the sight if your work!!!!! I salute you sir, I would own anything you put your hands on, Bravo.........

Just lovely.

to see the way that new motor was packed away was awesome!!! it really was a time capsule perfect condition ,,,mint in fact!!!

I bought a Unimog 404 from the French army, and with several spare parts including a gearbox and an engine that had never been mounted on any MOG! I got a new vehicle!

Dear, congratulations on the beautiful work. Very good taste demonstrated by the beautiful symphony, allied with dedication to mechanical engineering. Congratulations on your dedication. Antonio Lopes, Rio de Janeiro - Brazil.

Good job mister. You have a great machine, it is a strongest truck. Congratulation from Ecuador. Nice video.

I miss my Unimog, the two gear thing in reverse was fun, I used to do that when ever I had some one in the cab and wanted to make it look complicated. ;-)

Nice work, hats off

Que carro maravilhoso Foi muito surpreendente vc desembalar o motor com 32 anos de vida, mas sem nenhum km rodado, isso realmente é muito interessante e satisfatório! parabéns, foi um excelente trabalho!!

Impressive work, great video

Mann, bei dir sitzt ja jeder Handgriff. Dich möchte ich gerne als Nachbarn haben. Super gut!!!!

Wow, impressive ; you sure know what you are doing ! Bravo !

What a job, Well done !

Awesome! Nice job. That oldtimer is in excellent condition...

Unimog with cactus at sight. Very nice.

Impresive how simple ware back then... No electronics.. trucks for a lifetime

Schönes Video. Grüße und viel Spaß mit dem Unimog.

Really good video... Ty was awesome to watch! 💪👍👍👏

Ça en fait du boulot... Je rêve d en avoir un depuis le jour ou j en ai conduit un dans un carrière y a fort longtemps. Je vous envie énormément !

awesome maschine . i drove the mg43 in a mercedes as a recon scout .. good memories

What an excellent job and you did all this without an air wrench!

you are one of the lucky guy in the world.

This was fun to watch.....impressive.

Really enjoyed this , thank you!!

Золотые руки у мужика! Уважаю таких людей.

Hi ! What a great video ! Many thanks for sharing it ! Congratulations for the great work ! Regards, Luis

Wish I had that Unimog 404. But what I wish I really had was your skill set. Watched all your videos on the Unimog and you do really good work. The whole time I watch you working on the body I kept thinking of my grandfather shouting "measure twice, cut once". Hope you drive the hell out of it for many, many, many miles and enjoy everyone of them. Good luck.

Wonderfull !! I love it, even the music goes well with the video. Congratulations !

Really well made video! Nice work :)

Wow - that was beautiful

Congratulations from Colombia ... !!!

i don t know why but i feel like i can do it on my kitchen table😁 great job

Very nice video, John

Outstanding job and very impressive video!

Great and good job !

very nice video good job brother

Great job!!!

Thanks for the video man. Replacing the engine alone was a great achievement, you are a master of mechanics dude. But I suspect you will smell burned oil for a long time inside that cabin 😉

Beautiful video and the car is amazing ofcourse the music is exelente.

I sure could use your expertise in Reno! I have a 1973 406 that is down for the count on a hi-low shifter and possible clutch replacement...I am stumped out of my mind how to pull the transmission, tear it down and replace or repair the fork to get it operating again...Beautiful job on Your Unimog!

Hi desertpir8!!! Wonderfull video! Congratulations for it and for the really impressive major replacement you've done. I work since many years in Mercedes Benz Argentina. I've got the pleasure of assembling the last argentinean produced Unimogs in 1994. Yes, some 416. Very nice, versatile and reliable machine. Something in your video got my attention: the engine you worked with was a gasoline one. I didn't know that there were produced Gasoline Unimogs, since here -and I I think mostly worldwide- engines are diesel's. Well, once again, nice Truck. Congrats! Best regards Dario

Years ago I had a Mercedes Benz W108 which had the same engine as this Unimog. Have great fond of Mercedes Benz vehicles for their quality and good engineering.

Amazing... you make it looks so easy !

Great work ! you are most happiest boy in the worlds :D

GOOD JOB!

that thing is bad ass, great video

Nice work!

Gute Wahl der Musikuntermalung. AAA+

hi bro, it is purely an art works. excellent!

great video

I agree, I think that we are in the same section of desert. I just picked up a '61 404 with a radio box and it's about to under go a restoration, would love to pick your brain for helpful info. I have a shop in Tempe that will be the location of the resurrection project. BTY, fantastic job on the video.

This great. You must have had such a great time on this project! Very cool!

Great job mate, and on yer own. Fantastic

Awesome job well done

Man! You built so much character with this engine swap. No power tools here! Also, I'm surprised this is a gas engine. I thought Unimogs were diesel.

a wonderful piece of engineering that mercedes overheadcam straight 6, but it surprises me its not a diesel great music too, better than most videos

Great job, and great video. That would have taken me a month, lol.

beautiful

I had a friend ( God rest his soul) that would do stuff like this ,and he never got dirty either.. outstanding job
