What's the best way to add a 12 volt winch to a M1009 regarding wiring it in to the system? thanks

I have a 3KW diesel gen set, MEP-701A which has been repowered with a new Yanmar diesel engine, and could use some help. I bought it over a year ago and it has been sitting. I finally decided to see what's actually wrong with it today. So I pulled most of the noise suppression kit off. 1...

My neighbor needs had a drive shaft problem in his M1009 and needs to replace his front yoke on his rear driveshaft. I'm trying to help him out. What would the commercial part be or if a surplus dealer has one where should I look? any help appreciated!

I've finally decided I need a slave cable pretty bad. Can anyone recommend a source for one? Greatly appreciated! ETA Thanks to all the help on this forum I ended up getting an excellent condition 20 footer from Deuceman51 on this site. He has 12 footers for $150 but I decided I'd rather...

Hey, a friend of mine came over yesterday with his Uncle in tow. His Uncle looked at my trucks and goes, "Hey I bet I have something you might like..." and promptly begins digging around in the back of his truck. He comes out with a brand new pioneer tool rack for a Humvee I believe. Then he...

Has anyone converted their M101 series trailer to use the same rims as their M1009 CUCV (six lug)? If so what did you do? Thanks!!

Question for the group. I have had zero trouble with the air on my truck. Been starting it every day and letting it run due to the cold weather. The other night it got down to -5 F and the next day I went out and started the truck at 5 degrees F and then started my CUCV. I came back and noticed...

Was trying to get one of my Deuces started today and had a rough time. Spun over but no love. I finally got it started with a shot of starting fluid (hate the stuff but I used it) and it ran fine for about 3-4 minutes, got rough a couple times and then died. No luck starting it again. Noticed I...

Hey, need some help from the group. I have a MEP 701A 3kw diesel gen set with Yanmar engine. Oil level good, fuel tank is half full, battery is dead as a door nail. When I try to jump it off my Deuce it instantly starts runs for a second and then the DC Control Circuit breaker pops and kills...

Could someone post a pic of a S-250 shelter in an M105 trailer, please! I'd like to see what it looks like before I stuff mine in. Looks like it would fit perfectly leaving you a nice porch in back for some extra room. thanks!

It's time for me to upgrade the tires on my Deuce. But while I love the look of the huge 395 type super singles I really wonder about how much clearance they have and how much less movement there will be in the suspension before they hit. So I've been leaning towards 11x20 radials singled out...

I finally scored an S-280 shelter...does anyone have a source for the blocks that the cables go to? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

A friend of mine's father has an old M37 sitting out back of his farm. Not rusted but it stopped running probably 20 years ago and they parked it there. There she has sat. But what perked my interest was the winch on it and how it is all there. Are winches for M37s common? Trying to decide if...

Can anyone point me to a diagram showing where all the parts and pieces go when mounting the winch? I have the bumper off mine now and ready to mount it and just want to make sure I put all the pieces in their proper place.... thanks!!!

I just won a MEP 701A 3 kw diesel generator with a lil over 500 hours and just fired it up. It has a dead battery so I jumped it with my Deuce. It started right up and ran for about 5 minutes. Blew some dark smoke out of one exhaust a couple times and then popped the DC Control Circuit breaker...

Thanks to this forum I located a winch for my Deuce. I got it from Shootiniron, with a great price and even better service, and now I have it sitting in my shop. THANKS SHOOTINIRON!!! I'm only in need of two minor pieces. A shear pin and the cab lock for the lever. Can anyone tell me where...

I was talking to a friend and he related how M113 APC tracks could be fitted to the duals of a Deuce to make it into a halftrack. He said it worked along the same pattern as what Christie did back in the 20/30s. He related how he saw it done in the USMC using old M113 tracks which were put right...

For all you guys bobbing Deuces, I'm looking for the late style two wheel crank up landing gear for a M105A1 trailer. I have the old style Big Wheel landing gear.....and it is a pain taking the trailer on and off by myself. Would like to swap it for the new style. Anyone have an excellent...

My Deuce is coming along nicely, just got a brand new bow kit and cargo cover for it. Next I plan on upgrading my tires to at least 11x20s. But I know I am not going to be happy with this truck until I have a winch on it. I'm next to Fort Riley here in Kansas, anyone know where I might find a...

I'm looking for a S-280 shelter out here in the Midwest.........any idea who might have one or what they run? thanks for any help or advice!!
