funny story, a guy down the road from me had a really clean M1009 for sale. Mostly stock with worn Super Swamper 33's ( i think) but had a cleanly installed 350 and 12v conversion.

Well the trip started the day before yesterday in west tennessee going to ft sill oklahoma to pick up a M1009 I had won. I couldnt find anyone to go with me so I was going to flat-tow it back with a towbar. After a long but enjoyable trip I got to the GL Lot on Ft Sill. Great experience with...

Hi crew,ive got a strange problem with a M1009 picked up. When i got it the #2 altenator's two wire plug was melted at the alternator and the wires were not connected. The alternator also was smoking whenever current was put to the truck running or not. The Gen1 light lights up when the key is...

Is it just my sale or is everyone else having a longer than normal EUC clearance time. Ive never had one take this long even the first one. I was wondering if it was everyone or if it was just my turn to have EUC roulette issues.

What are the legal issues in dealing with an M818 while towing a military flatbed or lowboy trailer, or any trailer. I did have my Class A CDL at one point and did drive OTR but im clueless on how this needs to be licensed or approached. Im not concerned driving it just the legalities. Ive...

I just installed a Petronix Ignition system in my M715 but the same type kit works for m-38, m-37, M-38A1, M-151, M151A1/2. I also installed a similar system on my Unimog 404 and the instructions were still the same. The M-715 system fits entirely in the stock distributor and uses the stock...

I know you can put a Hecules 4DT 85Hp engine from a Generator in a M715 or M37 without too many problems. Can you do the same with the Hercules 6 Cylinder model from the 30 KW generator? Has anyone ever looked at doing this. Do you think you could find a bellhousing adapter to work even if the...

Hello all, As some may remember I purchased a worn out, ugly, forest service yellow M715 with a solid body and a hard-top that looked like a five year old with damp rods welded it. Ive started the build and have decided to record it here. The first pic is as received and will continue...

Has anyone ever used a M35A2 Spring Seat in a M715. Ive ridden in haywagons that have a better smoother ride that the truck I just traded for. Its either that or a few leaves may be leaving the spring pack. Dave in Tennessee

I just horse traded my 1970 Gama Goat for two M715 trucks. I couldnt be happier. I really like a nice project truck and trucks that are done are a bit boring so here we go again. Just as I finished the Unimog another project comes along.....:-D The yellow hardtop has the stock drivetrain with...

My father was saying there is a MV salvage yard in Florence Alabama named Sonny's. Does anyone know anything about them?

Im in the process of horse trading for a pair of M715 Jeeps. One is almost perfect and the other needs a bit of work but seems to be do able. The one that needs the most work needs a pickup bed to replace the utility flat bed on it. Can i use a M101 or M105 trailer bed for it? Does it work out...
