Hi Peter,
the MBtrac 1000 was working with a UNIMOG Gearbox UG2/30, the Unimog 416 had a UG2.27. If You want to replace it, You might need an Unimog 417 but they were rare!
What is about repairing the drive?
To replace a UG2/30 with a UG2/27 would result in defects because the torque of the MBtrac 1000 will destroy it.
In principle it might be possible to put it into the MBtrac 1000 but You will have to do many adaptations and compromises. At first, the gear itself must be modified because in the Unimog the gear works as a 6-speed gear and all speeds shiftet with one lever. The switch plate has to be modifieed or replaced by a plate for 2 x 4 speed. Next the levers of the UG2/27 would pass through the drivers cab between the legs of the driver. For this case the cab has to bee modified too. I'm not quite sure if the flanges for rear and front wheel drive have exactly the same position, also the flanges to fit the gear in the chassis.
A UG2/27 in very good condition might work with 95 DIN HP for a while but the auxiliary drive is torque restricted and in the Unimog it was not built in above 84HP.
Greetings
Holger

Die 3 MBtrac-Grundsätze:
1.) Ein MBtrac ist zwar nicht alles, aber ohne MBtrac ist alles nichts!
woraus folgt:
2.) Ein Leben ohne MBtrac ist möglich - aber sinnlos...
doch zum Glück für die vielen Nicht MBtrac Besitzer:
3.) Nur wer einen MBtrac besitzt, weiß, was allen anderen fehlt...
