Bagged me a bagger, minus the bagger :grin
So I've always wanted a Cabrio, I think they just "look right". Weird in my climate for sure. Oddly enough, when I sold the RW1 I looked hard for one but coudn't find the right unit. Then I stumbled into the 1700 and went that direction. Fast forward a bit and I sold the 1700, and low and behold not a few weeks later, a 406 Bagger (missing the hoe, it was imported without) pops up, locally. Well you can't tell me that's not fate if you believe in that sort of thing :devil
Reason I jumped on this unit was condition. It's mint. Just under 18,500km's and a shade under 900hrs on the odo and hour meter. If I had to describe it it would be akin to a time capsule. It's never been monkeyed with, never had holes drilled in it, no rust, none, driven a few times a year. So first order of business will be replacing anything and everything rubber, tires, belts, hoses, brake lines, all fluids flush and fill, ect. I realize that sitting is just as bad or worse for a Unimog as heavy daily use, but I'm prepared for that.
Then perhaps finding a front DIN plate and mounting my plow, maybe. I may still buy another "working" Unimog or midsized tractor we'll see. This unit is so clean, I just want to put a big glass box over it, stick on a giant motorized turntable car show style, and redecorate the living room
Also I'll be looking for an original Backhoe and front dirt blade for it (if nothing more than to just have the original kit for it) but even without, it's a nice, clean 406 Cabrio.
Anyway, pic's or it didn't happen right? Check out the minty freshness:
