I have the trailer all taped up and ready to paint. First thing to do is wash it down and clean the surfaces of grease and oil. I use DX330 wax and grease remover. The DOT5 silicone brake fluid is not even affected by this cleaner. I done my best. It is only an implement trailer. it will...

I am outside getting ready to paint the trailer chassis. I will post some pictures later. I hope you are enjoying your day.

OK I got flak about the item on the hood. No really, it's not mine. I hope this makes a smile and is not offensive. Happy Memorial Day. It is a balloon pump.

I am still here and getting motivated. Thank you for your patience. More to come soon. The 22" rims have got to go. I can hardly wait to hand sand the 5 primed rims I have for this project. Take Care and Happy Memeorial Day to all.

I have the current rock crusher trailer chassis in my barn bay and am going to paint it smoke gray. I wanted to show the stabilizer stands I harvested off of other trailer chassis to use on the rear. Everything has been cut and modified to accommodate the rock crusher. The rock crusher has...

I have been out working in my barn. I have made a slow start and am picking up momentum as I go. I have helped out a few people that needed work done on their vehicles. One was quoted $1200. to have an alternator and harmonic balancer replaced on a Honda CRV. I done it for them at less than 1/2...

Progress report: I have everything that maintains the property repaired and back in service. I suspect in a week or 2 I will be back in CUCV M1009 mode. I have a lot of plans and they change as other things arise. I have all the body work completed on the M1009 I am restoring all I need to do is...

Last week I started with the clean up. It was a massive mess. I had everything pulled out from the walls and insulated the ceiling and south side wall. I lost my helper as we all know so I just stopped that and put everything back so I can get back to my tasks at hand. This week I made even more...

I have been venturing back out to my barn. I am making slow progress getting things cleaned up and cleared out of the way so I can work on tractors and lawn equipment. I want to get my M1009 project completed for its 40th anniversary. The set back in December is still fresh on my mind. Take...

Happy Easter to all. Hope to see you in church. Take Care.

These are bigger cabs than the CUCV K30 but still a cool picture. Happy Easter.

I had rubber hydraulic lines made and tucked them up tight against the floor pan. They have been working for a few years now on a snow plow truck. I like the ease of running them and the fact that they flex. I know they don't cool like the steel ones but that has not been a problem. bending new...

Like I said whatever it takes. Each swollen glow plugs may present its own challenge. Being careful and know how hard tom pry is the key to getting them out safely. Good Luck. All methods of removal are acceptable. As long as you are not just breaking them off.

Do not pry and risk dropping the tip of the glow plug into the combustion chamber. Simply attempt to remove the swollen glow plug. If it becomes risky you can remove the fuel delivery nozzle from the effected cylinder and use a curved jaw vise grip or a set of locking hemostats and attach that...

I have the metal bracket also. I think I lost that in the translation. Heck, I have the entire steel dash cut out.

28 years of driving CUCV's and never used anything but the Ac Delco 13G. I never walked anywhere or had exploding glow plugs. It's sounds exciting. What must I do to have my glow plugs explode? I just want to be able to say I been there and done that. I did convert several back to stock with the...

Any radiator that cools the engine, fits and don't leak is a cool radiator in my world. I don't care if it is made in Katmandu. If it is and I need it Katmandu is the one I do. Take care stay cool. and when changing radiators always take a close look at the isolator mounts. If the radiator is...

In God We Trust was the winning combination for this fix. Honest Abe doing what no fuse can do. Keeping the power flowing.

I finally fixed that 30-amp fuse for the lighting. It was a cheap fix. Stays tight and does not melt the plastic.
