    Saving a couple OH-58's

    Recommend Replacing the tires and tubes with new ones. Ground Handling Wheels are often abused and maintenance deprived. Dry rot tires, no grease and usually low on air. If one pops, the one right beside usually goes shortly after. I’ve seen one side blow the tires and cause the Helo to do...

    Front pintle hook on M1008

    Do you have any additional pictures of the mount? Drawings/measurements? While I plan on only moving trailers around, I might go the route you took. Never know when it’s strength might be needed. I’ve read in old post several guys installed this hitch. Needed some modification if...

    M1009 front hub gets Warm

    I edited your title to reflect the hub getting warm and not hot. The title was misleading.

    1008 question

    Warn 25855 front mount receiver will work with minor modifications. That’s only if you intend to keep your front tow/tie down shackles. If not, direct bolt on.

    How to rehabilitate trailer connector cable?

    The two brand new ones I installed on my trailers over two years ago or so are already showing small cracks in the rubber. They simply were not made to last the life of the trailer. Sun and heat are killers on the rubber. Mine sit in the sun a few hours each day and shade the rest. Once the...

    Front pintle hook on M1008

    Found the picture I was talking about in an earlier post. 2” receiver mounted under bumper. I thought it was mounted direct to bumper but I clearly remembered it wrong. Rethinking plans now.

    Glow Plug Wait Lamp problem coming on randomly

    Check the wiring coming from the GP card housing very close. Others have had old wiring break, but the insulation showed no external damage. Agree also about the grounds. Just a thought.

    Glow plug light came on for a bit and went away 85 CUCV m1009

    Don’t use starter fluid. Causes more problems than it solves.

    Front pintle hook on M1008

    I don’t think I will need the swivel Pintle since I will only moving the M101A2s and the Nf2d around on fairy flat surfaces. Anything more than that and I will just turn the truck around. The pintle I will use is the basic 4 bolt, non-swivel like pictured in the above post. Looked behind my...
