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

Hello to all!
Our NWMF2025: The Search for Sasquatch was a tremendous success with most people agreeing that this event was one of the best ever. Overall attendance was higher than all but 2017 (total eclipse of the Sun).

The dates for 2026 are August 13th-16th and the theme is: The Dark Side of ...

Good morning to all,
A friend is considering the purchase of a 710M tub and was wondering about the weight of this unit. Any guesses as to a ballpark figure?
Thanks.

Vince,
My sincerest apologies for not seeing this earlier and responding. As we hit early summer, our focus on our annual mid-August NWMF becomes hyper-acute. Tunnel vision so to speak.
Do you accept payment via PayPal?
I wish you only the very best.
Take care.

Hello to all!

Our 25th anniversary NWMF event is now in the history books but far from forgotten. And to once again prove that Northwest MogFest never really ends for those of us at Waldersee Farm, I am very pleased and honored to announce the dates and theme for our 2025 gathering.

August 14-17 ...

To be clear, are you running a 12V or a 24V system. The replacement VR that Tatanka Parts sells for the 24V system has a three wire pigtail. The 12V unit (that I have zero familiarity with) must have some sort of blade terminals as well.

Andre (and Vince?),
you would be most welcome to make yourself at home at our place along your journey.
Easiest way to find our location is to plug the location Northwest MogFest into Google Maps. It drops a pin dead center into the middle of our farm. We have plenty of room and it is not unusual ...

Hello to all!
While NWMF2023 has officially run its course, the fun continues.
We still have three families still present. Two of them are Dutch couples with two ids each. They are both traveling in their massive Mercedes non-Unimog 4x4 expedition trucks. They had met on-line previously but decided ...

Hello to all!
Two months from today will mark the official start of our 24th annual Northwest MogFest event. As stated last year, the theme this year is MOGtobeFest. You can imagine what that theme will bring to Waldersee Farm. Several individuals have expressed interest in leading trips into the ...

Thank you for sharing that one.

Frank,
Garrycol is spot on when it comes to the 700/703 numeric designation for the Steyr-Puch Haflinger series. I suggest the following:

1) Do a simple Google Images search of "Haflinger Data Plate". You will see data plates of the 700 and 703 series trucks. These plates are typically located in ...

Oh...that is spot on! And you can bet the car being driven did NOT have a manual transmission.
