Not a totally wasted day but I was more involved in my Honda wood hauler project than I would like to be in wood burning season.
View attachment 822561I thought the valves needed adjusting I discovered they were slightly out of adjustment. I had last adjusted them in January 2016. I went on to checking how it starts and it still bound at the first attempt. HMMM. I looked at the starter and it was rebuilt in 2015. That was a lot of wood loads ago. Last but not least I pulled out my voltmeter. It was 12.28 about 60% charged. I already had the starter off and thought maybe a 28MT would fit.

I may just opt to open a brand new GM box with a new M1009 tailgate in it and use it on this M1009. This M1009 is very nice and deserves a new gate. This used gate can well, go back in storage till another projects comes along. The plan is to spray the inside floors and cargo walls up to the rail in gray LineX. This completes another day of barn work at Cucvland. A customer calls my place that all the time when he comes for parts. I need to get a sign made up. HA. Have a Great Day. It is raining, cold and miserable here in Pennsylvania. Momma said there'd be days like this.
