- Hey everyone!
It finally got time to put in some more work, on the old Unimog 421.
Getting the brakes refurbished, and other small things that had to be done.
If you want to follow this build from the start, Here is a link to the First video:

Thanks for watching!
I have never been around Unimogs so it's cool to see how well built they are. It's even more impressive how much work you put into fixing/rebuilding them. Keep up with the talking and the nerdy details. Some of us nerds really appreciate that! Great work, as usual.
It's great to see more progress on this fine old Unimog and quality workmanship is a pleasure to watch. 20 episodes is a realistic target I think, thanks for sharing 👍
Dude you could make 100 video on this restoration and I would watch each one of them. I love watching your content.
Same
same
20 to 25 videos are more like it.
Fantastic, as always. And it's always a good day when we get to see the Jimny.
Keeping oil off the shoes and water out of the gears seems like a good plan to me 🙂 Interesting and entertaining video, as always. Stay safe out there.
I like your improvised brake shoe riveting tool! The rivets look factory.
I need to replace the hand brake on the 1975 Unimog have as well as new brake pads...thanks for posting your videos! Fantastic! I need to break out the books and review installation of hand brake.
High Team.
It would be cool to see a video about painting the rims in nice red an how to assemble new tires for the next off-Road adventure. Thank you for your explainings. TOP!!!! Greatings from Germany!
Awesome restoration 💪
Greetings from Poland🤙
Brilliant to see it coming together. Keep the explanations coming.
Watching this reminded me why I hate working on drum brakes - the faff getting them all back together and springs clipped on and then adjusting them up is such a pain when compared to disc brakes.
Glad you explained the rubber drum seal, first time I ever saw one and couldn't figure it out myself. Awesome truck 👍
Good Job, well done. Thank you for sharing
I have no idea why I love watching these video but your attention to details is amazing. You're doing a great job and the workmanship is outstanding. Keep the videos coming.
Wow, the brake-seal-ring explanation was great already, and then you gave a dissection and tour of the vent-route. This is all so interesting.
Crazy how those backing plates are two piece and can be put on last! Good for maintenance.
Thanks for sharing your found knowledge on the front brake drum seal...very cool design!
Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate your reverse engineering; I've done some of that on myself.
Nice catch about the oil catch😆
keep the videos coming..really enjoy the channel and your passion for the different..
Killer vid. Well done!
Great video again, and thank you for your explanations too. You definitely don’t talk too much. It’s coming along nicely.
Becoming a UniMoG mechanics pro :)
I think you theory about the seal on the brake drum is right.
UniMoGs are normally not meant to be driven on long distances, bbut Ubelix - a guy here on YT - offers special kits to prevent the hubs of starving from oil.
28:55 Kasper, you don't talk to much. It is just right, educating without being boring ;)
You are doing a great job in my opinion on these videos
This is coming out great, you'll have a nice mog when you are finished.
Enjoy watching the progress, Make them as long as you like. 👍
Great progress. Thanks for sharing
Looking good. Suggest you extend those portal breathe tubes (and equivalent for the differentials) up onto the firewall, or some other place above the water wading level. The suck in when cooled in water.
Thats exactely why it's all made to vent out the top of the gearbox. so it's already over a meter off the ground, from factory. And im really not planning to put this one in water that deep. :)
But i will probably be raising that vent up even further, on my other 421, that will hopefully be seeing some more offroad driving :)
Thanks for watching :)
I had a 416 SO deep, the cab went dark😳 That was in ‘98 in Oksbøl…
👍👌👏 Everything looks really great. Very well done again (video and work). Especially the explanation of the rubber seals respectively big diameter o- rings was very interesting. Makes me kind of proud to hear you saying: Typical German/Daimler Benz over engineering. In my opinion this is a great and simultaneously simple, inexpensive solution. I watch a lot of North American truck/bus repair/restoration videos and often times the brake shoes and drums are covered in oil.
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health in particular.
Yep you are right it is a safeguard against leaking portal axel in to ensure you have brakes ..... at my old shop I serviced an ancient mining truck for Volvo penta....took me forever to figure it out
No, you don't talk to much, did a great job explaining things going back and the purpose of the drum seal. Do as many vids as it takes. Thanks.
Great video. I would love to see you get a Tatra V3S and make it run great (I was born in Prague and migrated to Australia in 1970 when I just turned 13).
I would love to get my hands on one of those :)
Or any Tatra, really :)
Great video thank you
I love to see your explanations about the old and brilliant enginering of the mog. I'm learning a lot about it. I hope this series will have a hundred episodes 😄
Please, you never talk too much! All the details really make your videos unique! I enjoy seeing all those details! Overall progress doesn't really matter. Thank you!
Its ok that you took a bit longer than originally thought. I'm glad you showed such detail in your restoration. That oil seal thing is genius!
When I got my Morris Minor brakes relined in 1988, the guy ground the liners to the same diameter that he had turned the brake drums to. It didn't help much, because they were so worn that the delicate geometry of the leading shoe was disrupted making the brakes very weak, When I finally got new drums, the braking was much improved, but still nowhere near a modern car of the time.
My uncle had an MB Trac 1000 at the time, very similar to a Unimog, and it had air activated disc brakes all around, to go with its (illegal in Denmark) 60 kph top speed, which was nice and quiet, only disturbed by the coarse tractor tyre pattern.
great progress!
Rebuild looking really good! A respirator should’ve been worn whilst drilling out old rivets also misting water to knock any airborne asbestos particles.
I did wear that :)
And yeah, would have been nice to get some water on them too, but i didn't really have any practical way of doing that. so best i could do was just keeping it under the point-ventilation.
Thanks for watching along :)
I´ve riveted brake liners before. I just smashed the with a hammer, rivet supported of course. Its been 5 years so i guess that method works just fine.
Awesome explanation! Much appreciated!!
Yep, i was wondering what that seal was for. I imagined it was oil related, interesting system. Old vw bugs and busses have seals and special leak holes to try and protect the brake shoes too. Its a bad day when you discover that its leaking stinky gear oil! Just as bad as the axle boots! I will eventually replace this setup on my kombi with cv joints so that i don´t have to deal with these things.
That was fun, haven’t done that job for c.50 years! Great job.
Great video and restoration. Your narration makes it so much better. I'm learning a lot about a vehicle I've only seen once. Thanks for all your work.
one of the old American semi truck, wheel or axel brands used to do the seal in break drum thing as well but could not tell you who
Its looking great.
A little tear of sadness though. The spigot on the air tank was way neat. Sutch a cool quirky feature just decapitated off.
Great thanks mate.
Muito bom, bom trabalho.
Top job mate
Our 1956 VW beetle even went further and had a tube from a pressed metal doughnut shaped oil catcher to the outside of the brake drum.ps: you don't talk too much, what you have to say is interesting.
great progress on the 405, when you do the frame off rebuild or refresh however you may like to call it , it takes time and lots of it and you sometimes wonder where you find the time , it looks great , i have never done one myself, although i have helped with many over the years with friends, and gonna sorta of do one myself this summer, no body/paint work my buddy will paint the hood and front bumper, I'll do all the mechanical and have 90% of the parts already and hope to be done for June 1st ,just an old Golf Mark 4 👍
I also find that to be the best way to do big projects like this. if you already know what you are going for, and what you need. having all (or most) of the parts on hand from the start, really let's you get some good progress, in reasoable time. :)
Thanks for watching along!
A year later and I returned to review - I still need to get some of the maintenance/repairs done myself.
Its a lot of work wire brushing rust. It sucks!! But the rewards are obvious after you see it painted... nice job.
Bugger about the airlines not matching, after all that work!
Consider getting a Bluetooth microphone (for camera recording) so you can control the quality of the sound and you can eliminate echo
Yeah, i was actually thinking about it while editing this one, how the sound is pretty bad when i'm in there.
So yeah, i think i will be getting some different microphone setup :)
Thanks for watching along!
Love your videos thank you from the UK. 🇬🇧
We were always taught to chamfer (angle) the leading edge of new brake shoes to reduce noise and help bedding in, do you do this?
The liners one these are already chamfered when you buy them, so there was no need for that :)
Thanks for watching along :)
@@KJOff-Road Well done, I didn't spot that.
👍🇬🇧
Great content!!, thank you very much!, can you help troubleshoot my 416 poor braking?, changed new pads, all 4 new slave pistons, changed all seals on the booster, new master piston, bleeded many times and still terrible braking power!, is there a way to test the booster power?, it may be faulty?, I do not know what else to do. I took it to a shop for blending, same result
I’m American and served in Desert Storm. While there we met up with the Brits and just had a good ole get together, while looking at one of the rifles I asked about the scope and asked if they had an issue with them breaking. The soldier replied “ It’s about the only thing on the damn rifle that doesn’t break”.
Correcting Another man's bodge jobs Is the most annoying, frustrating when working on a 🚜 vehicles,It's as if they couldn't care,have No clue or both. Grrr..🤬
