Why I LOVE overhead welding on dirty, greasy, rusty material. Especially when it is covered in rust, snow and ice and dripping mass amounts of water into my ear canals. It's an experience you will never know until you have been there. You will never forget the sound of boiling water in your ear...

Terminus M1009 | Page 17 | SteelSoldiers This was a custom built crossmember I built for my M1009 when I went wheeling. It was uncrushable. The round pieces on the ends were my design to prevent things from getting hung up on the edges. I never could bend that crossmember. Terminus M1009 |...

I second that repair recommendation.

And all this time you were a good mechanic and never had any trust in yourself. Great Job. We don't need any auto shops. Do it yourself and do it right the first time. Very happy for you.

Pressure teat the cooling system. Could just need the heads machined and the head gaskets changed. It happens that way at this point.

I swapped out the old blackened fuel sock for new one. I cleaned up the donor sending unit. Original GM and not available anymore. I polished the ground and used grease on all the connections. I put all the parts back together and replenished the fuel tank. I spilled some fuel taking the tank...

I feel somewhat shamed. I spent 10 hours getting a fuel tank out of an M1009. I removed the class 3 hitch, fuel tank skid plate, fuel tank, fuel tank sending unit and cleaned and installed a used one from the M1009 I had in my field for 20 years. I knew it worked when I parked it there and...

I was out looking for some other parts and came across a stash of oil cooler lines and related parts. I also took a few pictures of the oil cooler lines on Little Red M1009. These are how the stock lines were run and secured. At the front fan shroud. On the left rear exhaust manifold. I hope...

I found 13, 12, 16, 14 and of course 16 the nuts are just M8 1.25 metric nuts. I also have complete oil sampling valve if you feel the need to have one. I think this may do the trick. It is for a dozen. Amazon.com: Helix 11099 3/8 Stainless Steel Double Line Clamp, 12 Pack: Automotive I will...

The double holder to fan shroud bracket can be fabricated fairly easy. I never had to fabricate the rear oil cooler line holder But I think if one was available to look at it could be made fairly easy. you are going to want them lines attached to the engine so they vibrate with the engine and...

Do as you will but that is a poor example of replacing the oil cooler lines. The clamp on the fan shroud that holds the cross over tubes is missing. Common issue and they will crack from vibration. Also the bracket on the rear manifold studs is missing and thus the oil cooler lines not staying...

Take the cover off and look. It sounds like it has an issue with the locker unit. My Sons ate them rear axle for lunch. I had 15 in crates at one time and sold and used everyone. If you are in Easton and need one give me a PM. But remove the cover and check out the magnet and the gears. New or...

Today I made a lot of progress. I was also busy with a few customers that showed up for my Chevy parts Summer Sale. I posted on Facebook a few Squarebody parts for sale and it went from there. After getting everything cleaned up outside. It was raining on and off. I mowed the field and then...

Progress comes in many shapes and forms. I had great progress today. I was able to sell a lot of parts with a simple on line ad that I had square body parts for sale. I had a buyer for an old M1009 body shell. What is scrap to some is gold to others. 2 Young men came by and wanted the M1028 cab...

I have one of the 4WD Oil filters and will mail it out to you for doing such a great job. Maybe some day you will come across some old license plates and send them my way. I still have your address in my tablet. Starter looks great. Now lets see some progress on the rest of the project. Keep up...

After posting these carnage pictures I was contacted by a Man that wants to buy the remains of the body tub as it. Bare bones tub. He clams the floors and rear riser area are still useable and would like to salvage the parts from this tub. Never would I have thought parts were that hard to find...

Could you please explain to me why do 2 wires here? I thought it should be only on. And where they come from? Existing one is coming to the fuse box and I continue checking where it goes, and have no ideas about second one. I have seen that before. You do not have a stock CUCV injection pump...

I advised the owner that he should scrap that vehicle. It has frame damage and all. Not worth fixing at this point. Basically it is wasted. Parts vehicles are needed at all times.

This is what the tractor looks like when you need to change the starter. It is all back together and back over at the farm. That little 2 cylinder water cooled engine is well designed. It took me about 4 hours with the help of my Wife. Runs like new again. All this work because a starter bolt...

Trick question of course I do. You need the big 4WD and the low coolant? The 4 WD and the oil pressure are on the same filter on a CUCV.
