Strangely, Did not have any brake lights today. Quick check of the fuse was good. ended up being the brake light switch so I took it appart and one of the contacts terminals had actually broken in two. Had a spare double two terminal switch (probably for a cruise control vehicle) so back in...

Worked out a trade with CUCVRUS on a starter bracket - installed it today and all is good. Fired up today - no problems! I consider this now fixed!

Sent you a PM...

No, I had posted over on Diesel Place a few times and another member said that is what he was doing in Ohio which is close to our weather temp region, so I started trying it instead of a 20 count. I probably need to do some searching and see what others were doing for manual GP switches. Is it...

It was a balmy 3 degrees this morning...you know the weather when your underwear just sticks to your butt crack (not really). Did a 12 count on the manual Glow Plug Button and it fired and died. Did two more cycles and it fired right up and rattled but it did start. Whoo Hoo! As soon as I...

26 degrees this morning...Did a 12 count and she hit but didn't start, did another 12 count and it fired right up so I think we are good except for getting a starter bracket.

28 degrees this morning...Did a 20 count on the manual glow plug button this morning and it fired right up. Letting it warm up now before I leave for work.

Swapped the 24v starter out with a new Autolite 12v. The solenoid wire pulled out of a improperly installed butt connector so had to replace that. Fabbed up a new dual battery bracket out of angle iron, drilled and mounted it to the rear CUCV tray. Reconfigured the battery cable to 12v. it...

Listen to this video clip of 3 starts...does the chirp at the end sound right? https://youtu.be/myGapCjMbiE

Put the shim back in the starter sounds slighly better but I don't think I would recommend this replacment starter to anyone when known good ones are out there. Did not see any tags or labels on it but looks alont like the ones on eBay. Owner wants me to drive it for a week and make sure it is...

Took quite a while but finally got the air bled again with the new fuel filter system. Starter is definetley not right so going to test drive shortly and get it up on ramps to reshim. While I waited for the batteries to charge I pulled the dash bezel again to get to the 24 volt meter which is...

You must have missed my change to Post#1's Title: IL - M1009 Will Not Start - Fixed!, although I'm still have inconsistant starter issues with engaging, bendix sticking and it just not sounding correct. I'll try the shim back in it tomorrow and see if it makes a difference.

I got back to the CUCV today, first pulling the starter... Someone had cut the bracket which would have been the correct one for the gear reduction starter too and I didn't want to spend any money on this or wait if I had to order one so I set out to make one. Took me a while but I found this...

Just getting back to this CUCV after being gone TDY all last week... As I mentioned, I had stopped at the Barber Shop after work on the first test drive day into work. When I went to leave it the starter was engaging but would not engage the flywheel do to chipped and wore down teeth. So...

I edited and posted a pic in the previous post but if I'm going to pull the battery cables to play with the bendix I will go a step further and completely unbolt it and get a couple pics and look for a label too. He purchased it from a local ALT and Starter Rebuild shop which might be worth...

Any known fit problems with the aftermarket starters...this is not a Delco and it had cad plated square socket hole hardware where the normal recessed Phillips screws go? Similar to this thing: He did stop by last night and I have him convinced on the Fuel Filter and 60G upgrades.

Teeth are definetley chipped and has been rubbing on the flywheel cover. I pulled a shim out of the starter mounting becasue it looked like the bendix what not moving far enough in. Still need to have some one bump it for more inspection but it is turning over again. Pictures are after shim...

exactly!

After I get the cover off, I'll mark the flywheel and inspect it thouroughly for cracks and all teeth. Just so I know he has the right starter too, should it have a particular number of teeth on the bendix?
