I am finally surrendering to the heat and am going to install an A/C in my M1009. Here is the plan: Install evaporator, blower, heater, and duct work from civilian Blazer. This requires minor sheet metal work on the firewall. Replace evaporator core with new and add Expansion Valve in lieu...

Just saw the following trick on Benzworld: Get a bicycle inner tube that fits the rim (e.g. 20") lubricate it, shove it between tire and rim, and inflate it to fill the gap. Then, slightly inflate the tire and pull out the squished inner tube.

Hi there, Thanks for the info. I found these two things online about the 6.2L fuel injection pump. The first one is a GM video about the 6.2L engine that also covers the pump removal. (The military trucks do not have the secondary filter shown in the video) And then there is this manual that...

The problem was an air pocket in the fuel system. I pulled the glow plugs, cracked the HP line fittings on the injectors and cranked the engine until diesel started dripping from the top of the injectors. After tightening the line fittings and reinstalling the glowplugs, the engine runs great...

After sitting for about four month, my M1009 started right up. However, after about 30 seconds the engine rpm increased slightly and then the engine stopped. No more fire after that. Checked the fuel filter and verified that there is clean fuel coming to the IP. The shutoff solenoid clicks...

I think you have to pressurize through the front glad hand similar to when the FLU419 is being towed and supplied with air by the towing vehicle.

This sounds like either a severe restriction in the fuel lines to or from the pump or a pinhole in the suction line that lets air in. The Flu419 fuel system is easy to bleed and from my observation self-bleeding if you get the engine running with the content of the double filter housing. With...

You need to buy a brake reservoir cap or two, drill a hole into the cap(s) and plumb the garden sprayer hose into it. Here is my system (available as a loaner tool if you pay for shipping):

The backhoe boom fully extended and preferably with a full bucket makes an excellent counterweight to stabilize any precarious list (tilt to one side). Additionally, with the leverage of the backhoe boom weight behind the rear axles, the wimpy loader is able to raise the front wheels off the...

I am tempted to organize a group buy for the steering ball joint rubber bellows, the bellows for the hand brake cables, and other tidbits that are Unobtainium here.

What is the offset of the drum-brake rims vs the disk rims?

With the original tires my FlU419 would sink to the axles in soft soil and since the front loader does not curl down enough to 'roll' yourself out it was the backhoe that saved the day. After mounting the 14.5 tires the 'sinking' is not an issue anymore but the machine would sometimes slide...

I have the 14.5R20 XL tires mounted on the original rims since about 1 year. They are much, much sturdier than the original 12.5R20 XL Michelins. I was barely able to mount them with hand tools whereas the old 12.5s came off with very little effort. Even if the 14.5s are a little older, I would...

You can remove the FOPS canopy with the backhoe dipper as shown here.

Thanks for the offer but it looks that I got the dimensions needed to fabricate the plate. (Translated into German: Danke für das Angebot. Es sieht so aus, als ob jetzt ich alle Dimensionen habe, um die Platte herzustellen.)

Hold your horses, gentlemen! I just got some drawings for the mounting plate emailed from Wausau Equipment here in the USA. Fortunately, they only used one size in the States. That means that every Wausau plow with that mounting system will fit on the same vehicle plate. For building custom...

Hi Migginsbros, I am thinking about mounting a front plate according to DIN 76060A, DIN 76060B, EN 15432 F1 or EN 15432 F2 (in Germany generally known as "Kommunalplatte") between/below the SEE front mount for the Schmidt FL4 loader like shown here. These type of plates are standard on a lot of...

The brackets I bought from Speedwoble sat in my shop for almost a year but I finally broke down and tilted the cab to replace a chafed brake fluid line and some of the pneumatic plastic lines. If the weather stays mild, I will also properly install the HMMH front axle lockout system I got a...

Count me in for a cab gasket.
