**** Rick, you are making me want another 09 from you !!!! Awesome project and progress. I don't know how you do it and manage a full time job at the same time!

Looks interesting, but can't really make out the pictures you posted.

I used some stuff by VersaChem called Prime Seal Gasket Sealer. Put it on the threads, assembled everything like I wanted it and let it sit and dry for a day or so. Knock on wood, I have not had a leak yet. Stuff works pretty darn good and I believe I got it from the local NAPA store.

The 1009 is running well and still looking great. You did great work and it shows. I still haven't figured out the gas gauge, but time has been in short supply this summer. I will get to that and tightening up those belts a bit more over the new two or three weeks. I want to get with you...

Hey Rick, Let us know how that new rubber fits. I wonder if it is any better than the rest of the vendors?

Nice work !

M1009 - Stock set up, all new belts. My question is this: All warmed up, she doesn't squeal. If I start her after she has been sitting for a while, or over night, in any weather, I will get belt squeal. Now, here is the quicker. They only squeal while the alternators are charging and the...

I had a few issues with my horn. Purchased a rebuild kit (spring, rod and something else) from NAPA. Cheap and it was an easy fix.

Congrats on the sale Rick !

Reminds me a bit of "Fargo". Frame is looking good Rick.

Ilikemtb999, I like your install, nice and clean. How much ground clearance did you loose, if any? It looks like the winch hangs down a bit below the bumper.

Geeze, that mower could do my yard in 3 minutes !! Looking good Rick !

Hey Rick, Did you ever fix that Gen 2 light issue?

rsh4364 - An idling diesel won't make much heat at all. Need to put a load on the motor (like drive around) for her to warm up.

I will be checking the blend door and coolant levels tomorrow. I do realize that highway speeds and single digit temps aren't the M1009's best environment. As for the Spector Premium heater core, I used that and did a replacement in my other 09 and, although different (smaller), it did work great.

Those are the ones. I got them when they went on clearance after last Christmas for $7.99. They work great !

So, I had brought my oldest son's tractor down from NH to have a friend do some extensive work on it. Since that storm was headed for us I wanted to trailer it back up to him before all this snow came down so he could plow the driveway instead of having to shovel the 14" by hand (it is a long...

Rust free is where it is at and in the long run those will be the most prized vehicles. I am just a beginner and so far I have had only two M1009's. One turned out to be very rusty, but cleverly covered up. In 2 short years the rust returned, with a vengeance. I just sold her to someone...

Is that a DEF box/catalytic converter??

Hi Rick, Happy Thanksgiving ! Yup, that gauge is pegged hard over. It just did it one day. I was hoping it was an easy fix, but nothin seems easy these days.
