handler 69 Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 After spending $7000 on a new motor, the gear box really shat itself. It was sold to a chap in Western Australia. The money is being used on the SKOT and MTLBu and a BRDM-2 that is currently being restored, ready in two weeks! SKOT MTLBu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Nice looking tools - have fun with them!! But if you think the Fox was a PITA to work on - just wait till you have to get at the engine/box in the OT-64.... :nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handler 69 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Thanks for the great comments fellas! There is one other SKOT in Australia and that is at Puckapunyal, it hasn't been started in over 15 years and is a very sad, sad state. As far as I know there are not very many MTLBu's floating around the place. I suppose they would be similar to drive as the MTLB? So that begs the question LOL, how do you drive one of these??

BRDM Driver Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hi Paul & Troy, welcome to the BRDM club! If you need manuals, I have a couple of versions in English. Paul, if you are over there and you see if you can lay hands on the louver control box for a 9P148 - a later model than the one here I think... It's a control box mounted just inside the battery charger door on the driver side rear wheel arch. It has loads of connectors on. Cheers, Richard.

handler 69 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 The SKOT and MTLBu now in Germany, getting ready to be shipped out on the 16th September. MAN...it has been a long session ( and painfully expensive :embarrassed: ) taken one year to get them here. Can't wait to see and hear them though :laugh:. BRDM-2, UAz and the MW-650 arrive in Melbourne on the 5th of November. Will make a great convoy going down the roads of Tasmania....turn a few heads it will.....except the MTLBu has to be trucked. What next, I don't know :nut: LOL. Cheers Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulob1 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 excellent, you certainly have to go through some hoops to get your toys. i thought an 800 mile drive was tough enough... I am on the trawl for a few more toys soon... not got the cash together yet but it will happen in the next 6 months I hope... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handler 69 Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 How about a DANA :wow:......The exporter didn't bother cleaning them......the shipper did it....cost 110 EURO per hour, spent 7 hours on the MTLBu and same again on the SKOT. The exporter was supposed to put off road tyres on the SKOT and instead of changing the road tyres over as asked just threw them in the back of the SKOT . UNBELIEVABLE........what a bunch of numptys.
