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

Dave, Those are all excellent questions and well thought out and I did not even bother to look since it will never see the shores of the USA. More business related items to discuss with S-Tec and lots to see. When you mention EPA they just laugh. I am sure they will have some details in the future. ...

The S-Tec guys have a booth at Allrad in Germany this weekend and they had some nice re-engine examples on display. Lighting was difficult but photo is not a 718 but a reworked 712M with there diesel.
Cheers,

Scott

Heading to back to the warehouse in Belgium after this weekend at the Allard show in Germany. You in the market for a 710K and can pay the $21,000-$23,000 price send me an email. There are many options. No need to offend but we get a lot of talkers and tire kickers. Go to out web store and put in a ...

Here is a picture which does a pretty good job of illustrating the level of oil in the witches hat.

Witches hat shares oil with the differentials and t-case. If you look at the number of sealing surfaces on the witches hat I am amazed they keep as much gear oil in them as they do. If your driveline gear oil does not look like fluid you drained then you dodged a bullet. That coloration is strange c...

710K's are few and far between. 5 years ago never thought I would ever be able to say there are more 712K's available than 710K's. Landed costs of 710K's are in the $21,000-$23,000 range and being the warm season not planning on picking any up unless there is a serious buyer. Couple of nice 712K's b...

In the current cycle we can pretty much get anything you want if not in stock and you can wait 3-4 months for the process of locating and transit. Currently holding inventory in Belgium in case we have East Coast buyers or additional units to fill out container. If we can cut down shipping costs and...

FYI 712K's are readily available in the current surplus cycle from the Austrian military. You want one we can get one. To put this delicately we have not be happy with the auction process in Austria and feel the prices have been a little elevated above market. Of course being American we were blamed...

Rear area behind the rear seats is not that straight forward on a 712K since most have at least one box with outside access bolted to them. If you remove the boxes then the distance from the rear seat to the back of the truck is around 56-65 inches. The variance is the seat back inclines rearward an...

Gotta look at the transport realities. In general Transport is made up of small independent carriers. Even our "go to" transport company (Cascade Enterprises) only runs 5 trucks and can transport our trucks about 2 out of 5 transports. In my rough personal opinion: Transport Brokers are sc...

Yes it was a very nice truck. Factory refurb in late 1990's. Sold to a new owner up in Montana. I'm guessing he will eventually make his way here.

Cheers,

Have heard a couple different stories about various factory trucks, 4 door, 5 door, flatbed and how many and for what reason but in reality they are all just variations of a base platform. Brian's truck was a little insane since the first one started life as a 710K. He built a second body to do as a...

Bought it from Expedition Imports a year or so ago.

712DK can now be easily had with the Austrians now surplussing 712K's. A couple of rear bedside panels, a rear roll bar, other odds and ends, cutoff blades, a welder and some time. One or two weekends and you are there.
