About
For sale in Bristol, UK. £18k ONO. 1979 U1000 424.121, Left-hand drive, original UK agricultural registered vehicle – sold by Mercedes UK to an agricultural contractor.
This is not an ex-council vehicle. It’s in excellent mechanical condition and has only been used for light farm duties since I got it 3 years ago. Selling because I’m less involved in the farm now and it’s not getting used.
Original 5.6 litre 6-cylinder naturally aspirated diesel, starts instantly, runs well. Excellent gearbox. All new fluids throughout (coolant, engine oil and filters, brake fluid, gearbox and axle oils).
Driver’s seat from a LR Discovery. 3-way tipper. Rear PTO and 3-point Cat-2 linkage (adjuster arms recently repaired with new screws and fully functional).
Rear view camera to make mounting the linkage easier. Beacon and front/rear LED hazard flashers. 4 brand new Continental MPT-81 tyres.
Recently overhauled power steering unit from A C Price. New brake hoses, all new discs and pads. 1 new rear caliper and handbrake chamber.
Seat belts for all 3 seat places. Previous owner replaced both cab footwells. New exhaust silencer.
Genuine workshop manuals included in sale. Currently on white diesel but agri registered so qualifies for red if you like that sort of thing. Minor issues: some slight rust on cab panels (nothing major), and the driver’s window winder is a bit tired.
