Il faut dire qu'il est particulièrement craquant,manque peut être juste les roues jumelée à l’arrière.
Je regrette encore celui trouvé en Alsace(bleu aussi,avec la pompe hydro sur la pdf latérale) et qui est reparti sur l’Allemagne   
C'est plus raisonnable en plus qu'un Uniknick.

Pole,that's sound like me,2 years ago I have bought a 411 westfalia,and I have bought a 406 3 weeks ago.....
We have certainly the same disease ,like most of guys on this forum   
Thank you for the pictures,it's a really good truck for a restoration.

"Pole" is not my name. This is my nationality

Now I am looking for a parts catalog and other books

Sorry for the mistake ,I was thinking that Pole was the Polish version of the French first name "Paul"   
So give us a shorter nickname or your first name,"unimog poland"is maybe to long ,I'm lazy  

For parts you have this :



available here :

A lots of book talking about Unimog are on the same website ,in different languages
I don't find books in Polish version,but Russian are available .
All my friends from old CCCP's countries speak Russian,it is the same for you ?

I HAVE IMPORTANT QUESTION.
Is produced Unimog 401 Westphalia without propulsion shafts at the front and back? In the pictures you can see that they have a hole in the hood.

I do not have the hole (can be welded). I have a flat cover to the side of the gearbox. I have a short lever to turn the shafts (next to the gear lever).

sorry for my english

Some have the hole in the hood ,and other don't have it:











But you have the hole for the back...   
You have to know that all Unimogs (old and new,small or big)are always specially made for one customer,for his own special use.So you will never see 2 Unimogs with same technical details....same if for example they are both a 401.102 like probably is your 401
Is your 401 a 401.102 ?

If you don't have that on your gearbox,no shafts power,you need it!
It's what your short lever put in action to make shafts turn...

if there is no hole on the hood...


...whether the bar is a straight line?





I think the answer is "NO", but I'm waiting for confirmation/verification



Unimog as there is no drive shafts that have a small lever? My Unimog have a small lever.

no one has any knowledge about this?

We don't see 401 westfalia very often ,and I think nobody on this forum have one,401 torpedo yes,but no westfalia ,so.....

YES,you can have the small lever and have no shaft ,that is possible!
To have shaft you need :




the small lever action this,you can have the small lever and have not this,this is possible.(it's exactly the same for 411 and 421 )
like I said before you need :



are you understand ?

Tito , you have forget the 401 Westfalia of Papoune ! And we have some 402 ( long 401 Westfalia) on the forum.

yes,but a 401 with v8 ,it's not really a  real one   
Who have a 402 westfalia ???  

I think we need more pics to check wether you have the PTO on your gearbox or not. If it is installed on the gearbox, you only have to find a lever or one unsyncronised gearbox to take the lever...I think this won't be easy to find as an original part!

You can check my gearbox on the restauration of the Wabymog
