Even if I can’t relate to the romance of buying a Dnepr.
Es ist eine Krankheit! And they ARE essentially an agricultural vehicle, AND not often taken care of. The Dneprs that show up over here are “kits” imported into the US as parts and assembled for resale.
This one is a bit ahead of the game in that it’s previous owner installed 2006 Ural drive train; engine, transmission, drive shaft, and final drive. But they are … crude by western standards. For example, more of the internal fasteners inside the final drive are assembled with slot-head screws.
Like I said, it’s a sickness… I’m going to drive the wheels off of this thing (which may not take as long as it sounds)
