Rick Are you doing all this restoration just to sell it to me, or are you hording all CUCVs you can get your hands on?

I get whatever I get, I love driving my M1009 so much that I don't even check my fuel mileage anymore. I had a 2003 VW Jetta tdi that got 50+ highway and 45 city but it was no where as fun to drive as my CUCV.

As long as its recommended by 9 out of 10 dentist.

Rick, I know you like to improvise but can you explain how this works?

still sounds like a bad ground in the rear taillight assembly. Try to install a temporary ground to the frame or a 12 volt power jumper to the flasher. Does the drivers side turn signal work front and back? The flashers will not work if it doesn't sense the proper voltage.

I love the smell of contaminated gear oil.

Ditto- Well said

Rick, why would you want to spend all that time and $ building a new box. If its only used for a salt/plow truck you can mount the salter directly to the truck frame. We used 6"x6" treated rails to gain the height needed. Clean and simple and easy access to the rest of the hardware below.

I like your tractor red oil pan. Just curious, what brand tractor has that color?

Your symptoms sounded just the same way mine did. I had 12+ volts at both batteries so thought all was good there. After spending most of the day tearing the blazer apart and checking everything, I decided to got the batteries load tested and it turned out to be a bad cell in the front battery...

Rick, don't forget to zip tie your turbo. Its looking little loose.

It depends on your worksite, My 1009 took 16 cans because I sprayed it outside on a windy day.

Welcome to SS. What part of NY you from?

By the way, Who won?

I love riddles.

I agree with Tim, mine had the same symptoms as yours. I checked the voltage on both batteries and they read good. So thinking the batteries were good I went on a gremlin hunt for the next 3 hrs. Was ready to bite the bullet and drop the starter but decided to Load test both batteries first. The...

I thought that some of the early CUCVs came with mounted "swivel style" hitches? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Same with me, He sent a used pump out to me and said if it worked to send him payment. That is unheard of nowadays.

A well known auction site has two separate vendors selling NOS cargo covers for the M101A2s. Also M1008 covers will work in a pinch if you can find them. The problem there is they are just a tad short to get the rear zipper to fully close. and they have plastic windows on both ends.

Why make it complicated, just take a day trip with a wad of cash. You shouldn't buy "sight unseen" anyway.
