Truckquiz #21 - Finished

[carsntrucks4you]

I think this time was a bit tough due to the fact that the type wasn't that easy to identify. Magirus Deutz had named their trucks until 1964 after planets and stars, like Mercur, Saturn or Sirus. After 1964 they used the an new identification were the first numbers represent the power of the engine and the second numbers stood for GCW. In German called "Eckhauber" (edge nose) trucks were the AWD version of the "Rundhauber" (round nose) on-road trucks. There were engine available between 125 and 230 HP and the GCW goes from 9t up to 26t in 4x4 or 6x6 axle configurations available. You could only identify them via the nameplate at the side of the hood. Truck with higher GCW had 10-20 tires while the smaller GCW trucks had 9-20 tires. Deutz engines were air cooled 6 or 8 or 12 cylinder. Until 1958 there was also a 4 cylinder air cooled diesel available which had a smaller hood in  but same length as the hoods for 6, 8 or 12 cylinder engines trucks.

I took the picture during a photo shooting for the owner of this 1967 Magirus Deutz 125D10 (only in German). This truck was a former firefighter vehicle that was converted to a flatbed truck. This truck is power by a 6 cylinder air cooled diesel engine.  

 

Most answers were not 100% correct due to the above mentioned points but I said correct for most of them.

HINT:

this one seems to be tricky. The type could be a bit complicated. The first 3 digits stands für HP the digits behind the letter stood for gross vehicle weigth. Check the tire size, the smaller the gross vehicle weight the smaller the tire!

PM'd...but maybe wrong.

This was a tough one to nail down exactly. I got a Magirus-Deutz vibe from it immediately but beyond that took digging!

I found another photo of what I thought was it - and it said a 230, yet if you really squint, you can sort of make out the 125D10 badge. I didn't squint!
