I,m a little late in posting an account of the recovery of the M1009 I bought from Barstow CA. The first thing I want to do is to thank those members who generously offered to assist in this project. I would have loved to have had enough time to meet with the members from SoCal. Since my...

I have a more detailed post to follow, but want to verify photo post first.

Happened to me. At Warner Robbins, I won the auction and when the bidding closed everything vanished. when I asked about it, GL said they had no record of that sale number let alone the particular Lot. I think someone was shill bidding against me and got tired of bumping the price in $20 increments.

I wonder if a body shop stud welder would be of any use?

Yes, it can be tricky to put back together, and whoever "rebuilt" it would definitely give you grief about your dismantling it.

There is a washer inside the starter that keeps the commutator from shorting against the end cap. when the washer is not in place the armature draws a huge current and produces little torque. If the brush end of the starter has burned paint near the bearing, that would be a strong sign of...

This sounds like the insulating washer on the end of the armature is missing/destroyed allowing the commutator to short out on the end plate of the starter.

I have had problems with a pickup by a regular towing company. Some of them are real gypsies. The company I first contacted didn't seem to think that subcontracting the job to someone else would be a problem. When they got to the gate and weren't allowed on base, I guess they learned a lesson...

Well, that doesn't strike me as a very good way to trouble-shoot the system. However, if you have no voltage from the negative terminal of the forward battery to the positive terminal of the rear battery, then they must not be connected to each other. Check the cable and ends for breaks.

I think the figure eight pattern 205 can be drilled and tapped for the round pattern.

Does the Wait light and Water in Fuel light work? If not, check the fuse marked IGN under the dash.

Wouldn't it be possible to jump start a 24v cucv with 12v? If the lights were left on and killed the battery, it seems to me that only the front battery would be discharged. If that is the case, a 12v jumpered to the front battery should work fine. Am I missing something? :roll:

Spare Parts? I'd say starter bolts, vacuum hose, fuses, scotch bright to remove oxidation from electrical components, and glow plugs.

Well, The auction just ended, and the items I was looking at all went for insane money. There is no way a Bridgeport head with the drive motor and pulley missing is remotely worth over $1000, even with an obsolete Shaping head. I've seen complete mills go for less than that. I can,t help...

My truck had a high shift problem that was due to the old, deteriorated vacuum hoses collapsing under load. A couple of bucks worth of new hose and it's fine now. I replaced all the rubber vacuum hoses from the pump to the regulator on the IP and down to the modulator. They looked ok but were...

Thanks to all for responding. I am looking at an item at WR that I'm interested in, but it isn't worth what a commercial shipper would want for delivery to Delaware. Flying down to VA sounds interesting, but my airplane isn't good for hauling cargo, or even luggage! What it does do, it does...

Is anyone local to WR and coming to Aberdeen interested in picking up a couple of items for me? They should total about 100 lbs and are not the sort of thing that has to be handled with much care. A scratch or ding, no biggie.:roll:

Before adjusting anything, I would check all your connections for corrosion. Also check the leads for voltage drop. This frequently indicates corrosion in the terminal ends. Check both the positive and negative leads.

Bypassing BO lights I'm not so sure that putting a jumper at the switch location is the best way to eliminate the Service/Blackout light function. It's my understanding that the standard setup uses an "ice cube" relay to switch the service light's considerable current. If a jumper were used at...

It's highly unlikely that the T-case broke from torque. The most usual cause is a frozen slip yoke or the wrong length drive shaft, or a U-joint bottoming out, particularly on the front. Check your pinion snubbers and make sure you don't have a broken shock allowing the suspension to extend too...
