Replaced the key ignition switch, new air filter, battery, and fuel filter. I attempted to start it. Lights and power are there, but it wouldn't begin to turn over. I just bought her recently and these were my first attempts and bringing her back to life after sitting for ten years. I...

I wound up losing my drain valve on my Racor fuel filter. The Racor filter number is R46s. After having looked for the drain valve online, and driving to several diesel shops, I finally stopped by a marine repair shop and they were able to tell me the part number for that valve. I just...

Rust...mostly surface, it seems. It spent the last 15 years in the West Texas area.

I sure hope the AC works as planned!! Now, I just need to determine if it is all 12v or is still a 24v machine, then buy batteries, and see if I can get her to turn over...oh....I need a new steering column and key first! :)

Picked up my first M1009 project truck. Hope to have it up and running by tomorrow afternoon. ;) Thanks to 86m1028 for all his help yesterday. He helped tow it home and gave me some info on the truck. It's going to be a lot of work, but hope it will be worth it...one day.

that is huge insight for me...the novice! Thank you for pointing out what was not the obvious for me. :)

oh...I started bidding on the truck first and then when it got over $1600 or so, I decided I'd let them have it. It looked nice, though.

This is a long shot, but....here I go. I need help in getting a non-running M1009 from Jacksboro, Texas to McKinney, Texas (about 90 miles one way). I'm a newbie that has learned that my lightweight trailer and truck are not optimal for hauling this truck this distance. I checked around on...
