Hi all!! I haven't been here for quite sometime! Although I do peek in from time to time, just to make sure you guys aren't causing too much trouble with your tractors!! I still have my Kubota, but I think my son uses it more than I do. And I still drag home all kinds of stuff (my wife calls it junk). I still can't resist a good deal (at least I think its a deal at the time!) on any Unimog. I have had 5 more since I restored the copper colored one. I got so good at fixing them, that I started a small side thing to go along with the antique shop! So I wanted to share with all my old TBN buddies my new web site. Take a look and let me know what you think. And yes, I will try and stop in more often!

I went to your website. That is truly an art of restoration! Tell me PLEASE how many hrs you have in that 4X4? It states that one was sold and is now available because it was to nice to get in the woods, I agree. How much is it?

I will never forget your first Unimog restoration. That was a great thread and one that caused a lot of us guys to have dreams of owning one. You made a lot of women unhappy with that thread:D

Von, are there many with the deep reduction and the three point hitches and PTO's?

Welcome home!

I hope you will continue to post from time to time. Your description of that first restoration was fascinating.

Thanks for the kind words and welcome back guys!

Art,
Most have 2 speed PTO's and a few have the factory three Pt. hitches. The CASE units have to have a different type of hitch because of the CASE rear deck. but it is a removeable hitch that is easy to make. I can send photos if you are interested in seeing both types of hitches.

Von, What a nice surprise. You are one of the great TBN fabricators. It's good to see you're continuing to follow your passion.

It's always interesting and informative watching one of your 'rides'.

Hi Von,

Glad to hear from you and see that you are still working on unique projects. I've seen a few, very few people with Unimog but your still the only person I have ever know that had a Zambonie (sp?) for home use.:eek:

Please stop by more often, we miss your projects.

Hey, great to hear from you Von. I was very impressed with your first Mog project and good to see you got the permanent bug. Always wanted one myself, but can't justify it, I'll have to be a vicarious Mogger.

Take care,

Hello Von,

I just looked at your Unimog website and came to a couple conclusions.

1. You are a certified psycho.

2. I think I love you, can you cook?
