[MMR1988]

Yes there are many versions of snow blowers.

Here are two examples:

Yes, I'll made BI for this. Photo BI and LDD file.

Before I'll made ejection nozzle.

Be patient, I'm student, I don't build during lessons =)

Call the CDC, it seems we have a snowplow epidemy

there is only one hose at the lifting cylinder because i want avoid too much pressure between the ground and the shield. the weight of the shield is enough to let it float on the ground.

With all those winter equipment, did anyone think of snow chains for the MOG?

Chains would be cool but it would mean using non Lego parts ;(

[T_Tank]

actually think its possible to do chains by using bb168 and 30104 to make the tire chains no clue how durable they would be but its possible i think.

[JunkstyleGio]

This is something of a first attempt to make snow chains.

Hopefully some of you will come up with a beatter idea.

[Drudoo]

The problem with chains is that if they are too big like 30104 the wheels will just slide over the table :/ Think the rubber bands are a good thing.

[davidmull]

Well in real life rubber bands are no good in snow , them Lego chains might work if u had enough of them too.

Can you please make a picture from above. Then wen can see, if you are using two cylinders to move the shield sideways. Thanks!

I like th colour! I do also have orange panels, but I did th upper row in black panels. I'll post a photo these days.

sure, here they are

[dikkie klijn]

Just a quick idea from me,

The drawback, the wheel doesn't fit on the unimog anymore.

[JunkstyleGio]

@ Dikkie Klijn: You've got PM with a solution!

@ Efferman: Nice job!

U need to motorise it now :) ur rear bed looks fairly long did u extend it,they seem fairly short on the real mogs, I like ur cab tilting too

[efferman]

thanks guys

the platform looks so long, because i have choosed the long wheelbase version.

RC? sorry, but not on this mog

[dikkie klijn]

This one.

[Sokratesz]

I lost the link but someone posted awhile ago saying they had been able to order the unimog tyres from lego directly..how do you go about that?

- Sok.

Ah it's a waste not to rc the unimog ,it's just asking for it,but it might be harder for u to do as u have gone so far off legos original design,it works very well as an rc even if u don't drive it that much,also have u considered getting the black wheels like some of us did,they look really well and more realistic too :)

Here is the post about buying the Unimog tires from Lego Direct (Lego Customer Service). I'd try to get the other new parts too:

Black rims? something like this maybe?

unfortunately the dishes have no holes like the real rims.

Theme RC: i said not on this mog but there is maybe a U500 with maximum trackwidth option (it fits better to the tires) in the pipeline. this can i build 25 studs wide and the chassis like the original one, with a five link (four links+ panhard rod) suspension.

p.s.

hard to make pics from a black hole

[JunkstyleGio]

you can put one or two of these over the 6x6 dish!

And so you got your holes.

Barman(76) did a version of the rims like this on his blue cabine Unimog!
