Keeping this as first hand experience of my navigator :), complete brake system has been upgraded to Power assisted brakes, powered by a pump from Merc 300 D & a cylinder & booster from a brand I cant write here :), brake wheel cylinder, all brake lines both rubber and steel changed!

So now they Say you just have to say Stop & wheels will be locked :), old manual ABS system removed

Operation Darkness (old cylinder removed)

New one is ready

& Installed!

It wasn't that simple, it involved a research of 1.5 year, a first hand experiment on DeeMog and its test in the North and then technology transfer to BeeMog!

Till the time more update arrive from Lahore on BeeMog, let's have some blast from the past 60 years on the history of Multitalented Mog, Team Unimog is grateful for Hemings on sharing the pictures from Mercedes-Benz which shared from there archive, some series history!

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the hugely successful Unimog, Mercedes-Benz has not only shown a concept truck that’s garnered plenty of headlines, but they’ve also released a small batch of Unimog photos from the company’s archives. Recall that Unimog is a contraction of the truck’s full name, Universal Motor Gerät, and the photos do an excellent job of portraying the ‘Mog in a variety of configurations, from fire trucks and hay rakes to the locomotive seen above.<o:p></o:p>

U406 for road-rail operations: Product range 406 was manufactured from 1963-1989. This product range with its much more powerful engines opened up whole new vistas of Unimog operations, such as being used as a very versatile road-rail vehicle.

[Basharatu]

I love the gadgets on this 404, simply classic!

U404 Austrian Fire Service with tarpaulin: Product range 404 was produced from 1955-1980 and is still the most frequently built Unimog with almost 65,000 units manufactured. Its outstanding off-road mobility made it especially popular with fire services all over the world.

[Basharatu]

U404 Metz Firetruck 8 (This breed didnt came to Pakistan, I didnt even found a fire-truck, I think we were using Bedford in that time)

U416: As an alternative to product range 404 with its petrol engine, from 1965 on product range 416 widened the Unimog offer with a diesel engine. It remained in production until 1989 and was mainly used as a highly mobile off-road transport vehicle. (This was used by Pak Army, known & discussed in Punga as 2.5 tonner)

[Basharatu]

U402 tractor unit: After Mercedes-Benz took over the manufacturing of the Unimog, new models were quickly developed. From 1953 on, product ranges 401/402 replaced the first Mercedes-Benz product range 2010. They were manufactured until 1956 and offered for the first time a 400 mm longer wheelbase as an option.

Our neighbors wanted this truck in there Military back in 50's they did some research and a team went to Germany to explore the capabilities of Unimog, they brought inn few samples and replicated something like this, the company which was working on this was TATA industries, However its not everyone's job to make a portal excel and crawler gearbox, only Germans did that and re-engineering at that level never happened

[Basharatu]

U401 B-FH German Railways: From 1953 on, product ranges 401/402 also provided a closed cab. Depending on its use, the customer could then choose between an open and a closed cab. (Not my personal liking list)

[Basharatu]

U411 Züblin with trailer: The typical appearance of the original Unimog was also retained by product range 411 manufactured from 1956-1974. It was used worldwide as a very powerful and manoeuvrable tractor vehicle and workhorse.

That's how a workhorse should look like, check the size of winch and amount of load carried on the trailer, this was small, smart & muscular, just to add our 421's (Bee & DeeMogs) are successor of this particular variant!

[Basharatu]

U421 with front loader: Product range 421 was manufactured from 1966-1989. A wide variety of attached implements allowed it to be used economically for different kinds of work.

I shared production numbers of this variant few months ago, this is what Team Unimog owns, our love & passion!

[Basharatu]

U411 “Doornkaat” tractor unit: From the sixties on, almost all the Unimog product ranges were available in a traction-unit version. These served as the basis for very varying special bodies, like the one shown here: the U36T from product range 411 with road sweeping body.

This was something new for me, I have seen all of the variants earlier doing these jobs, but the curves of this 411 are simply classic, isnt they??
