    My first CUCV M1028A1

    There should be a meter here. Will you tell me what I am looking for? Am I looking for 12v at the splice? Should I hear the clunk when I use the switch. I like the idea of using a three way better, just nervous about cutting the light blue wire to get it on there. I will read up on about the...

    My first CUCV M1028A1

    Any ideas on the gp controller bypass issue above? Should I resplice it or take it out and put a three way in? I am open for suggestions. Also anything on the reverse lights? I added new Silvestar H6054 headlights last night and wow! What a difference. They are not like the 55 watt HIDs on...

    I have the ground going to a screw with another ground and 6 male prongs attached. It is locate under the dash driver side as close to the fender and under the dash as you can get. The splice was done using a wire splice. It has a place for both wires. You close the lid and it pushes a metal...

    My first CUCV M1028A1

    I got my package from LMC today. I have added the gasket to the tail lights, new side markers and bulbs and finally finished the GP controller manual switch. On the switch, I just spliced it into the light blue wire. As you can see by the picture, I have power to the switch. When I turn the key...

    My first CUCV M1028A1

    My bracket came in from Boyds. The bracket to block bolt wouldn't go into the block. I took the following steps below to clean the threads. It was a slow process, but it worked. I took a .30 cal bronze bore brush and twisted it in the threads. A haze of rust dust came out. I squirted PB...

    Good Cleaning agent?

    Rewrite, I took a .30 cal bronze bore brush and twisted it in the threads. A haze of rust dust came out. I squirted PB blaster in there and worked it with the brush. I cleaned it with brake fluid. I then sprayed an orange kitchen degreaser in the threads and let it sit for a 10 mins. Then...

    My neighbor has a steam cleaner I am going to use along with a degreaser to clean the engine undercarraige. It is just a matter of hooking it to the tractor and bringing it down

    Good Cleaning agent?

    Thank you for all the suggestions. I will end up using them all when I get home. I have a ton of old bore brushes and a massive compressor. Eye protection is a definite. I need to degrease the underside. I am hoping to get it cleaned without having to drop the starter

    Good Cleaning agent?

    I have a starter bracket coming in this week and I have been gathering up the bolts to install it. I have no idea the last time one was on it. I picked up the M8x1.25x20 for the bracket to block and it will not fit. It will go in maybe a 1/2 turn. I sprayed brake cleaner up there and...

    I got the ORD bolt in steering brace put on today and I am half way through putting the manual GP switch in. I also ordered the OTC 7158 socket ( from searching the forum)so I can do my front bearings. I got it from eBay for $10.00

    Why is my headlight fuse melting?

    Mine had just enough for me to turn and snip too. There wasn't enough room to tape loose ends, so I applied liquid electrical tape.

    My first CUCV M1028A1

    I have thought about gauges. I am concentrating on fixing and preventative maintenance. I cut the diode out of the horn relay yesterday (couldn't tape up exposed wire so I hit it with liquid tape), finished the LMC light harness. Bought hubs, bearings, wipers, toggle switch for gp controller...
