THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

Garry, Once upon a time, I saw a unique NDIX float that allowed each side to function independently. It may have been a variant on a Pinzgauer as I have never seen them on any Porsche 356, Unimog 404, DKW Munga or S-P Haflinger carburetors. In theory, even if one float was full of fuel, the buoyancy...

STUPID ME!!!
Of course you have the Zenith NDIX!
Lots on my mind right now.
The float could still be the problem.
Take care.

Garry, Is your Haflinger equipped with the small cyclone pre-cleaner between to two scuttle vents on the nose of the truck? If no carburetor adjustment has been made but the air/fuel ration is now universally rich, the only thing that comes to mind is reduced air flow upstream from the carburetor ve...

Garry,
Do your spark plugs look sooty as well and are they equally effected?

Vince,
KEP is a very good option.
I will do some investigating and keep all informed.
Take care.

Hello to all. The subject of bolt-on accessory overdrive units attached the PTO port came up today on the Facebook Volvo C303 and TGB page. I know I had investigated this more than a decade ago and made no progress. I loaned a spare transmission and transfer case unit to Herm the Overdrive Guy outsi...

Hello to all! It is hard to believe we are less than two months away from the start of Northwest MogFest once again. It is not too late to make plans to join in the fun! In addition to Unimogs, 4x4 and 6x6 Pinzgauers, Volvo 4x4 and 6x6 C-series, Land Rovers/Range Rovers/Discoveries/etc., a Saurer, M...

Hello to all. At last year's NWMF event, BaT was present and we are certainly hoping they well choose to return. I was just made aware of a new listing and selfishly hope this gem will be picked up by someone in the Pacific Northwest. Last year was a very strong year for Volvos at NWMF and by all in...

Zenith? Yes.
Stromberg? Yes.

Zenith-Stromberg 175 CD 2 SE

Hope this helps.

I know of only one guy...The Wiper Guy Don West 3730 NE Grandhaven Dr. McMinnville, Oregon 97128 https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1086158 last summer, I approached Don with the task of converting a pair of TGB1314 wiper motors from 24v to 12v. His knowledge of this type of wiper...

Specifics on the clutch components please. Those components look very nice indeed. Are you using the standard TOB? From the previous discussion on the fast revving diesel OM617A, I am not advocating those motors be run at high rpm continuously but it is reassuring to know that the ones I have seen i...

When I look up the specs for the Cummins 2.8, this is what comes up. Configuration: Inline 4 cylinder Weight: Approx. 475 lbs, not including emissions equipment Horsepower: 210 hp @ 3,600 rpm Torque: 385 lb-ft @ 1,800 rpm The two MB engines that I have seen used for Volvo TGB diesel transplants usin...

WOW!!!
That is amazing workmanship! Definitely not for the faint of heart...or wallet!
With that amount of rotating mass, crawling up inclines in low range AWD at idle should be a walk in the park. Point and go.
Well done!

Congratulations on the progress. Looks like a very snug fit. Sounds great! Do you have any photos available showing The clutch pressure plate mounted to the flywheel both before and after mounting the engine-to-transmission adapter plate? Did you use the original Volvo pressure late, disc and TOB? O...

Just found this on eBay this morning.

Looks like a very solid truck already located in the US.

Take care.
