Thanks JGB, I will get it bench tested and most likely rebuilt and add the DH mod to protect me in the future. Charlie

Doghead, A simple explanation like: "You should rebuild the starter and also do the DH relay mod. The cause is almost always the starter(failure). The stock relay is the weak point that fails when something else causes it to stick(overloading it and it's internal design fails in the on...

Thanks for the input guys. I have considered the doghead relay mod several times but have never installed it as I have never had trouble with the relay before this. At this time I think the starter issue (whatever it was) caused the relay to fry vs the relay causing a problem with the starter...

Hi, I have a question as to what happened so I can figure out what I should do to have it not happen again. I have had my 1986 M1009 for 15 years. It has about 250K miles on it and has been running great. It is a backup vehicle so it does not get driven every day but normally once or twice a...

Try to tighten the fuse block thru bolt There is a bolt that holds the two halves of the fuse block together....like a clam shell... if you will. I believe the bolt is on the engine side of the block but it has been a long time since I had trouble with mine and I have slept since then. It is...

goldwing2000, I moved the axle back between 11-12" and would have moved it back a few more if I had ordered the hoist kit prior to shortening the chassis. The hoist kit recommended no more then 6" between the rear spring hanger and the hinge pin and mine worked out about 9-10". As it is the...

Bobbed Duece Measurements ICAT, I cut 36" off my drop side bed to keep the vertical posts balanced as factory. I sectioned the bed (and the drop sides), cutting out one vertical post so I did not have to mess with the front or back of the bed. You can see the evidence of the cuts/welds on...

12VDC Pump Here is a picture of the pump install. I attached it directly to the sub-frame I built so I could unplug the battery disconnect, disconnect the controller and lift the entire bed and sub-frame off the truck if needed.

dump costs elkhunter, My dump hoist was a bit over $2000 and had about $5-600 more in steel for the sub-frame, weld wire, gas, paint, bolts, hydraulic fluid, etc. I worked on mine over 14 months and did the bob first which too much longer then the dump install. I don't have any idea as to...

Bobbed M35 Dump Conversion Almost Done I have almost completed my conversion. I used a Scott Level Lift 500DH which came with the hinges and 1-1/8" PINS. The hinges were a bit smaller then I expected and would have gone with larger had I built them myself......which I would next time. They...

Yes, Yes, Yes.....What I have is a pump that mounts to the PTO output of the transfer case directly but since it is for a different transfer case it is no good to me. I will probably go to a dual output PTO on the transmission and then install a pump behind that. Thanks for the correction...

M16ty Thanks for the info on the PTO. Since it did not fit I will be needing to sell it so I can buy the accessory drive for the winch PTO and it is good to know what it goes on. It has a pump for lubrication on the side of it which I would assume would draw oil from the t-case and lube the...

Gringeltaube, Thanks for the welcome and the pictures. I was thinking that the accessory PTO mounted to the cover plate location but it looks from your pictures that it mounts to the rear which makes sense and of course would fit that way. Very cool......now to find one that is affordable...

Thanks for the info and the web site. Looked it over and you did a nice, neat job. Where might I find a picture of the winch and accessory PTO mounted under a M35. I can't get my brain around it fitting but I have not seen an accessory drive in person either. There is not much room under...

M35 Bobbed Dump Conversion Folks, I am still pretty new to this site and fairly new to M35's. I tried a few posts awhile back and they got lost so I will try again. I am in the process of bobbing a M35 and adding a dump bed. I have cut the chassis down 32 inches and cut the bed (drop side)...

Bolt it. a 1/4" to 3/8 in plate on the outside of the frame bolted to both the frame and the trailer frame should work fine.

I am building small dump truck from my Deuce...a 1983 drop side with 11K on it. I removed the spring set from the truck, cut 32 inches from the back of the frame and installed a single spring set from a box truck rated at 22K pounds and re-installed one axle. I had to add 3" spacer blocks to...
