MAN 26 361, letnik 1985, z menjalnikom Eaton Fuller (English subtitles, slovenski podnapisi)

The F7 and F8 series of the German manufacturer MAN were very popular among Slovenian drivers. But after three and a half decades since the end of production, they can be very rarely seen on the road. Bernard Drev went to Germany to bought one and brought it to Slovenia as a 10-years old used truck. It served in his construction firm for a full 26 years. After fifty years of work, Bernard decided that it was enough and retired. The truck is now parked most of the time, but Bernard nevertheless serviced it thoroughly in the winter so that it could immediately start working "full time" again. MAN is powered by a D 2866 engine with 265 kW (360 hp), which was extremely popular among drivers and is still (justifiably) appreciated by many today. In this case, it’s fitted in combination with the Eaton Fuller’s eight-speed non-synchromesh gearbox. Mechanics say that it is ingeniously simply crafted, almost indestructible, and virtually maintenance-free. Even if it the driver »grind gears«, it doesn't hurt it at all. It gives me great privilege that I was allowed to try out this ten-wheeled legend a bit. Thank you, Bernard!
