    Laundry list for the m1009

    I also add a quart of 2-cycle engine oil when I fill tank. It keeps things lubed and happy. Engine isn’t as loud and fuel mileage is better. It will enhance the life of injection pump and injectors. Some guys use transmission fluid (which has friction modifiers), but the two-cycle oil is...

    Laundry list for the m1009

    Just add one can directly into tank. Two will not hurt it. When you refuel next, add another can. Then a can about every other tank or so. Everyone has their own preference for fuel additives, but I’ve had excellent results from using SeaFoam. It simply works. I use it in everything I own...

    M101 A3 parts

    This was taken directly from the M101 series trailer TM. Both of my M101A2 trailers use this exact style lever. Some levers on eBay are close, but not exact.

    Looks like their shipping price has been adjusted in the last few hours.

    Light for floor shift bezel

    A pic of the civilian bulb socket would be great.

    M101 A3 parts

    Wrong one I believe. The M101A2 brake lever has a pulley attached for the cable. This one does not have it. Typical Saturn Surplus..........Sky high shipping

    Bingo! I couldn’t remember that name to save my life. Fast shipping and very well made part.

    Laundry list for the m1009

    A can or two of seafoam will help a LOT. Cleans dirty injectors and keeps system happy. The eBay covers are surplus originals I paid $100 shipped for the reproduction. Its very well made.

    Light for floor shift bezel

    I’ll find the correct one eventually. Even with two ears cut, it will not lock into place.

    Laundry list for the m1009

    Get the Military reproduction grill cover. It works great and is easy to put on and take off as the temps change. I can’t remember the name of the company that makes them, but someone will chime in with it I bet.

    Light for floor shift bezel

    That doesn’t look like it will work. The plug has four slots and the shifter slot has two. Ref. Above pic.

    M101 A3 parts

    Well I want four. It’s anybody’s guess as to what the demand would actually be. They made thousands of the M101 series trailers and the brake handles are the only thing that’s nonexistent in the surplus or commercial world. I even contacted the trailer manufacturer and was told they don’t...

    M101 A3 parts

    As mentioned, Dexter/Redline for brake parts HydroAct for surge assembly factory parts. Croft Trailer will have everything you need. Excellent customer service. The only thing that’s impossible to find for the M101A2/3 trailers are the parking brake handles.

    Light for floor shift bezel

    Anyone have a pic(s) of the plug that goes in there?

    Laundry list for the m1009

    Add a can of SeaFoam to the tank to keep fuel system happy. Also a Grill cover will help keep temps up.

    Momentary switch question

    Others have used a 24v Charger/Maintainer and plugged into the NATO slave port. It’s already wired and ready to go.

    M1009 value question.

    If you are planning on driving it during the winter, better do some serious rustproofing first if you want it to stay nice. They use a LOT of road salt up in your area and the CUCVs are notorious for rusting in fenders, tailgates etc. Mileage, as already mentioned, really means nothing...

    It’s ready for the correct light socket. Whichever one it is.
