Great advice from Neil and Iain. I can only echo the brake parts shout out, I've been waiting since June 1st for repair parts for my air brakes. I'm going to rebuild the entire system. And build up a stash of spares that can be sent to me, just like Lain has done.

Congrats!, let the adventures begin!

Glad it was a relatively easy fix. And certainly encouragement to be well stock with spares.

I did get some good news, got a notification from a vendor I was talking to and the uber rare OM366LA workshop manual in English popped up for sale. Snagged it immediately. I would be happy to share any info, copy and send pages to anyone in need.

And Happy B-Day Neil!

I spoke too soon, SpareTo replied and said they do not have the brake cylinders/repair kits. And did not know when they would. Other Euro suppliers show it's not available. I reached out to a N. America WABCO distributor, since the part is not sold in N.A., it does not even come up in their...

I have a '95 OM366LA engine and the stock Bosch alternator was 80amps. I went ahead and installed it, but I know you can get them rebuilt, re-wound for more output. I don't want to bash anyone, but I'll share that Hans from Unimogcanada quoted me $2600 EACH for my brake spring cylinders, and I...

Wow, so sorry to hear. I'm shocked a motor mount broke. I presume it's metal fatigue?

Well, not much of an update. I have the new super single wheels in. But had a huge hassle with the tires, I paid for liftgate delivery and basically FedEx refused at the point of delivery. Wanted me to pull the 5 tires off the truck myself, all 900lbs of them. I refused. So still working on...

So very cool! Thanks you for sharing your adventures with us!

Thanks. I wish some of us were closer in location, it would be great to be able to support each other more. These are huge projects.

Yikes! More than I was thinking. But the cost here in middle America may be cheaper, but if I get quotes like that then I'm busting out the Sawzall. ✂

I'm debating it. I have all the tools to do the job. But I have a smaller Lincoln mig welder with shorter duty cycle, which means I'll have to go slower. I think it comes down to cost. I have no idea how much someone would charge me to do it.

Cutting my Doka down is also on my ever so long to-do list.

Mog makes a very good point, if it goes down, it may be for awhile :(
