Any progress to report? Just checking in.

I'm not done with that art piece yet. I have more things to add to complete it. And it will be outside in the weather. I have a great idea that I am going to work on. But lights. I don't think they will be needed. Or maybe. Undecided at this point. Easy enough to do. Thank you. Take Care.

The other thing I noticed was blue markings the mechanic placed on the round piece (with numbers) on the transfer case. Is it still ok to take things apart as you said? I just want to make sure he didn’t align something before I take more things a part. Take that 10mm hex head off and remove...

Keeping to my word I started sanding the pancake mixed CARC tan paint from the nice rust free GM fender. Nice loader marks have been there 25 years and I stored these damaged fenders. Back then I could buy Genuine GM fenders for about $125. I sanded the fender with 80 grit for about an hour...

I started out measuring and cutting the hood for my art piece. I installed a stone screen in the core support to shade and fill the void where the radiator goes. I thought about a radiator and decided that was adding to much weight. After removing the safety latch and spring I set the hood in...

I have a used one on a frame. Are you interested?

FELPRO Air Cleaner Gasket, 60038

Loosen the 2 M10 15 mm nuts under the hood and the 2 M10 nuts under the dash. You may be able to shift the column a little. I think it may be just the black bezel because it can not seat completely onto the idiot light filters with the clear plastic cluster lenses. That was my observation when...

Yes I know. I cut down a few CUCV brush guards and fit them onto other vehicles. A Chevy S10 Blazer and a Jeep Cherokee. I even cut a slightly damaged one apart for extra bars on a few of my own CUCV's that I added lights and changed the front end lighting. I could have used 1/4" x 2 flat bar...

Today was a very relaxing and playful day. I was able to get an idea of creativity together. I thought about it a long time. I have the front end 95% assembled for my barn assembly building. This set of front bumper braces/brackets came off the decade wrecked M1009 and I found them while...

creativity [ˌkrēāˈtivədē] NOUN the use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work. "firms are keen to encourage creativity" I was cleaning up the past few weeks and came across some parts that are just not worth saving and beyond repair. I thought...

I have come to the conclusion that a Kubota is a pain in the.... Bite your tongue. That behavior is uncalled for. I only speak like that about Dodge/Ram trucks, Iveco's, and Volkswagens. Nothing runs like a deer and nothing stinks like a john. They are all basically the same just a different...

There is no way I have enough water or moisture to bulge the filter. I think the pressure needs adjusted and that requires a gauge and shimming from what I am reading. I will look into it. I did drain a half gallon of that expensive Kubota UDT2 into the drain pan. Clean oil.

No wonder why the bolts are broken some of this crap had to be at least 70 lb tight I remember an old guy at the Sears Auto Center. He said tighten them until they squeak. He was referring to muffler clamps and that held true most times. Do you recall that squeak? Good Luck. Even a 3/8" M12...

Yes you can remove the water pump without removing the coolant cross over manifold. The water pump is attached to the upper STEEL timing plate and the water pump is bolted onto that steel plate from behind. I have the stud bolt you need here in my hand. There are 17 to 18 threads on the inner...

You have 2 identical studs on the passengers side. I think if I were doing this job I would remove the front timing cover and get right back in there. That is going to be a tough spot to work so deep in the engine. Some centering punches and a left hand drill bit may help. But I would do a...

Yea I have a few that I stored 25 years ago that just have way to much damage to fix. The structure at the door is all messed up. Guess how? Loaders. Doors, fenders, bedsides were destroyed by stupidity not to mention the undercarriage and driveline carnage that was done. I bought 2 M1009's that...

They have that covered. Blow proof filter housing.

In an attempt to raise the European happiness level I present a right M1009 door that has been repaired. It had light dents that required a thin coat of Rage. Not Rage from me. This Rage. Sort of like Rage against the machine. A light coat of glazing and this door is finished. I was doing an...

Yes you have 10 x 1.5 threads on that stud. Did you get it out?
