I Bought The ULTIMATE Off Road RESCUE Rig!!

I had no intention of buying a Hagglunds, or even though it was a possibility, but when I spotted a V8 swapped BV206 on Marketplace for way too good of a deal, I couldn't pass it up! So I sent the money to some random people that I'd never heard of and hoped for the best while we finished up our vacation in Washington. Once we got back home I hopped in the @SeriousTrucks and headed to Montana to see what kind of mess I got myself into!

Be sure to check out our Patreon project where we use whatever it brings in in a month as our budget to help someone the following month! I was never a fan of the Patreon idea until I realized that I can use it to help others instead of myself, so I created the Patreon Project where we can all combine our efforts to make a real difference in people's lives and make the world a better place! For as little as a dollar a month you can join the group of awesome people already on board and be vote to help steer the ship along the way!

Casey a few months ago: "Here's an entire video explaining why I don't want or need tracks."
Casey today: "I just bought a tracked vehicle!"

[GAIS]

You're right about the Jerry cans. I was a BV206 driver during my conscription here in Sweden. The BV206 is a formidable all terrain vehicle. It's gonna surprise you. Never stand still and turn if you can help it. It wears stuff out more quickly. By the way, it sounds like you have at least one very bad wheel bearing. So you might wanna look into that. Go over all the (close to 80) grease nipples, and make sure the cooling system is clean and in good order. Check the bottom plugs before you try to swim with it. And go easy into the water especially if you have a steep entry. Last but not least keep your eyes on the brake pads. Since it's a single disc on the output shaft. When they wear out they can create sparks inside the engine compartment. Which can ignite oil and gas accumulated on the floor. That happened to one of our company's 206's in the middle of a march. All that was left of it was the steel chassis and the engine block. All the aluminum melted and pooled up by the curb. So a fire extinguisher is a must. Other from that, happy off roading.

[chrismartin]

It's a yes on the Jerrycan placement. Spent a several years in BV206. Loaded up with crew of 10, and all we needed for 4 weeks, and patrolled our boarder. Have reach the limits several times, and always been surprised how far we could push it beyond logical boundaries. That gravel will chew up your tires. You can de-thatch the rear chassis, and make a platform/truck-bed-setup. (Not recommended, but you'll need the mortar somewhere.)
Be aware of highspeed turn in flat powder snow; It will drift like crazy!

[TheRealStructurer]

I did my military service in Sweden and have spent a lot of time in these. You will love it 👍🏻

[Cougracer]

On your transmission problem: the fluid pickup in the pan is the same in forward and reverse, so if the fluid is too low to move forward, it is also too low to move in reverse. You have other problems, like a bad forward clutch! (Or possibly worn/broken sealing rings bleeding off fluid pressure and the pump can't keep up when the fluid is low but works OK in reverse because of no internal leaks in the reverse circuit.)
On another topic, I'm impressed with the knowledge and experience level shown in the comments. A lot of good advice here!

[daviemaclean]

This is no longer a towing/recovery channel, but Casey's cool vehicle collection channel! ;-)

[davidgates]

Casey: be cautious. The components in the drivetrain beyond the transmission were designed to handle the horsepower and torque of the original engine. You most likely have much more horsepower available now and slightly more torque. If you try to use that by pushing this thing to the limits of the engine and transmission that are in it now, you will most likely end up destroying parts downstream that may be difficult to source. So, take it easy.

[patvirgin]

So glad to see Grumpy on the channel, I was missing his presence. He is an excellent addition to your channel.

[twodogsyyc]

These are unstoppable. Guy in northern Quebec uses it for record-breaking fishing and hunting charters and mapping the back country for the government because he's the only one able to get there.

[NTRA_Still_Learning]

Cool rig! I'm not a Turbo 350 expert, but almost all 3-speed automatics work like this: You have 4 basic actuators that are combined in pairs to manipulate the gear sets and provide the 1-2-3 and R gears. Each of the 4 actuators could be either a clutch pack or a band (varies by manufacturer). They are: 1. Low/Reverse; 2. High/Reverse; 3. Intermediate; 4. Forward. They are combined in a logical manner: Low/Reverse plus Forward is 1st Gear. Intermediate plus Forward is 2nd Gear. High/Reverse plus Forward is 3rd Gear. Low/Reverse plus High/Reverse is Reverse.

Since it works fine in reverse, you know Low/Reverse and High/Reverse have no problem. Since you have "four neutrals" as you put it, the Forward clutch is likely the problem. Since it works on the level, it is not completely fried or worn out. It is a fluid pressure problem to the Forward Clutch that manifests at extreme nose-down angles. Possibly fluid level, yes. That would be the simplest and most desirable situation. The filter may need to be changed, and it is allowing enough flow to provide adequate fluid pressure MOST of the time, but not in all positions. It could also be debris of some sort in the valve body, etc. that intermittently blocks a passage. It could also be a high-mileage tranny that's been rebuilt multiple times (i.e. loose tolerances and has difficulty maintaining fluid pressure in places). If that is the situation, and the tranny is in otherwise good condition (clean when you drop the pan), then a good old fashioned shift kit may help (they firm up the shifts by increasing line pressure, among other things).

Best wishes! :)

Fricking Hell. I used to drive one of those in the Norwegian Military. Hagglunds BV206, The ones we had was equiped with the Mercedes OM603A 3.0 6cyl turbo diesel.
I wish I had the money to buy one privatly. Those things are a BEAST. (fyi: this comment was posted before even watching the video, I am that excited)

[LisaEaddy]

Gosh, I love seeing Grumpy around the yard

[JamesBrown-cmqg]

By the time she has driven all your 'work rigs', Riley will be a master operator! So cool!

[larsburman]

The Hägglund (The a with two dots above is pronounced like the a in apple) was built only three hour from where I live. It was built in the town Umeå. (This a with only one ring above is like the o in orange). The letters BV stands for band (track) and Wagon. The BV before the Hägglund was made by Volvo and was called BV 202. Good luck Casey with this Swedish Band-Vagn!

[VickyGeagan]

Nice to see this video ended up with an episode of Casey and Uncle Grumpy do stuff together.

[ravily]

This took me back! Drove one just like this in the army when I was conscripted in Norway. We got upgraded seats and had a turret ring on top. We also had a field mechanic container on the back part, not a passenger transport rig. PM if you want some photos / videos. We took these on some insane drives. Ours had the 6 cyl Mercedes OM603 engines.

[aliceevans]

Rusty said what did he drag home now! Always good to see Grumpy, he's a treasure. Another great tool in your repair arsenal. You've got to teach your new employee how to drive it to 👍 My bets are on her being totally able to. Have fun, stay safe and God bless

[jesperwall]

You are correct about the signal to the driver from the back. Also, the switch below is for the heater fan (Värmefläkt). HEL = full speed and HALV = half speed.

[LawlessOffroadAdventures]

This would be awesome for major highway recovery situations in the winter. Life saving station anywhere you take it! Wow Casey awesome purchase, especially for the "preparation" aspects. Unbeatable 😮love it

[Ch-uimw]

Oh, man....Matt and Robby are gonna be jealous!! This thing is awesome!!! (btw, the Ford 2.8 was a V6)
