Price seems fair, pity about the location.

Well Vince, that 716K has all the earmarks of an ex-Swedish municipal 716K. If was a 12v truck, you could be sure. Where the Pinz is in Russia is only a short hop from Sweden... not anything like the ride across the pond. :mrgreen:

I think that particular winch is a Warn 8274 electric, which is a big lump to carry around unless you really need it for some reason. (like racing)

Ah yes, the old blue utility 716's. Seems like one turns up every few years. How many did they have?

The hydraulic winch/ accessory power tap was a hideous setup. A continuous running power steering power with a bypass relay to pump the fluid back into the reservoir. My 716K was grossly overweight when in service. When I gutted the system, the front suspension went up by an 1". This white truck looks more to have a bulky electric winch, and hydraulic accessory taps.
Mine had the taps over the Sepson winch with selection valves along side the winch. The first pic is from 2002

Yes its a 8274 waren but not electric , its a hydraulic 8274. They had a hydraulic oiltank in the back , the whole system was overkill....and heavy . The Swedisch telephone Kompany used these to replaced wooden telephone poles in the field, lots of Woods and mountain Like terrain over there. I think they had about 20 716 pinzgauers but il not sure about That number.
I only know That they were all p80 's and they are part of the 211 civillian diesel they made....all others are military.
After all a Diesel pinz LHD 716K is a verry rare one to find. :roll:
