Oh yea I see the light switch nut and the horn inner contact ring. Still not fooled because you laid it out on OD green canvas. Born at night but not last night. And did you say 5 gallon fuel tank on the Honda. Not seeing that.

But looking back that washer is over 25 years old. So in all fairness I will get it fixed or V replaced. It is a Beco and they build them 35 miles from my home. So I will take a trip after work sometime and check into it.

That’s a dimmer switch, headlamp switch, and the knob and switch handle for BBC a 1984 CUCV. You can’t fool me.

I violated one of my own major rules. Never let anyone use your equipment. NEVER. I went to use the pressure washer after waiting for a week to get it back. It was dropped off when I was mowing and today I went to use it and you know. It is not a cheapo store bought model. I guess that is why...

Time to run the pressure washer. One of them love hate jobs. Prepare to get wet and the shower and change clothing. So plan and do it right the first time. You will get wet. Wear work clothes and safety glasses. Prepare to get soaked. Try not to but you know.

I was out working on the Wild Weasel yesterday. I removed the fuel tank and that in itself was an adventure. The Army had it out at one time and replaced the sending unit. One of the strap bolts was snapped off and the bolt was replaced with a 3/8" bolt, The hoses were way long, and the filler...

I probably contributed most of the nasty slush and salt damage to that vehicle. I ran that hard for a few winters here in PA. We had a few major blizzards and I would run the mule to keep the salt off my new stuff. I bought that M1009 at a local sale in 2006 and bought 4 M1009’s and paid $700...

Hard top hose is the dead giveaway

I had this type of head gasket issue on several CUCV units. It will not heal itself. Expensive additives will not fix it. Remove the heads send them out to a good competent machine shop and do it right the first time. Don’t be surprised if it has cracks in the heads. It happens. Good Luck. No...

My guess from afar is head gasket or cracked head.

Well if it keeps on raining the levees going to break. I wanted to clean up my shop and the first thing I came across was the rear bumper setting on a stand in my way. Why not just do it, it had to go on anyway at some point. I had new bolts and serrated flange nuts all ready. I installed the...

Things didn’t work out very well for me and the EV. More later. Long story and I hope you have a deep wallet.

I was being rained out and needed to take time to work on my project. Rain has me mowing 2 -3 times a week. Slow progress. I picked up some new 7/16” hardware and decided I would attach the hitch. Now I will think about installing the rear bumper. Have a Great Day. Be Safe.

Let the EV hate begin. I am in the process of trading my Trail Boss in on a new Silverado EV WT4. Tired of buying gas and time for a change. Plugged it not the barn overnight just because I can. This has a 9900gvw and 18” 8 lug wheels. 0-60 in 5 seconds. I was the first person in my...

The bent drive shafts will break the tail section of any transmission. Finding cases for TH 400 transmission is not as easy as it once was. But any constant vibration at high speed was twisting that transfer case around and the weak spot is rear flange of the transmission. I seen it many times...

I can barely tell the difference in the park lamps between LED and standard bulbs. The B/U is the big difference. I am going with LED because of the heat difference and the amperage draw . I may call it a day at this point. I don’t want to over do it and rush into things. I guess the rear...

Just a little bragging pictures of the under side of my M1009. This makes me think to take my time and do it right the first time. If it were out on the road it would be getting packed with dirt and dirt causes rust. These are the correct screws for the tail lamp lenses. Many have standard...

This is a start. LED on right standard on left.
