I used reducer from Tractor Supply with Gillespie alkyd enamel. I used 34086 on my M1008. Worked great easy to put down, using the ole Harbour Freight chepo gun.

Been a little under the weather for awhile but back to 90%. Painted 34086 from Gillespie, friend ordered incorrect for me but did not complain, wanted original. I also added the passenger side tank, 40 gl better than 20. Gear Vendors going on this next week, been in the Garage for 2 years.

I have restored an M1009 and M1008. I found reproduction labels on ebay from seller viperknight129 it was an awesome find. Attached is a sample of what he has. I am almost finished with the M1008, Gear vendor and paint, and few small things left. Insalled A/C from vintage air.

I have one for sale with the correct direct drive bracket. I picked up a M1008 at Fort Hood, it appears to be in close to new condition. Started and drove it on to the haul trailer, spun like a hurricane. Converted to 12v, so don't need it. I have both battery mounts with all brackets too...

I'll probably be called a liar on this but I pulled a trailer Alaska to Seattle Washington down the Alcan. I pulled a 25-foot V noses enclosed trailer with 8226 lbs (scaled in Canada in Whitehorse) with a m1009 spring helpers in the back a high Performance Radiator from Silla, high flow water...

I bet the non hacker didn't say anything about the swelled plug. The tool is a simple feat of engineering that kept me from going nuts.

Where I bought mine and a few for gifts.

Leroy Diesel has the glow plugs removal tool. I have bought several of them for friends they work excellent. I'm surprised more people don't know about these.
