    Tie down extensions

    Dang that's rare that they left the brackets on it!!! I usually type in cucv in the search of marketplace. Sometimes you get lucky! If you are looking for groups look for square body and cucv ones in the search for groups too. Look for high post counts per week and member numbers! Hillbilly...

    Tie down extensions

    Look on facebook marketplace...I found a random guy selling a set there not long ago. I got a set from cucvrus a few years ago but not sure if he has any left. There's more to them than just the tube as well...there's a bumper mount that goes with each side...I am assuming you have the parts...

    Need Some Help with Rear Axle Seal "blow out"

    yes that should work for sure! I do a long parking lot and go in reverse and hit the brakes a bunch...sometimes you can hear them click if they're out to far.

    Need Some Help with Rear Axle Seal "blow out"

    So reading you're difficulty with getting the long spring from the parking brake cable to the arm...I use a long pair of side cutters and push the spring back with it and lightly hold the cable with it...then you can pop the end on the arm easy...the bottom spring for the adjuster can be tough...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    So he did the power steering lines and oil cooler lines today. He got a little nuts and broke the oil testing line twisting it. So did a fast double flare and it was fixed! Also dove into some old tools for the tilt steering bolts that worked loose too. It was good to get in there and fix a few...

    Front differential breather removal

    weld a nut to it and it'll come out...I think it's a 1/8 inch pipe thread that you hook a hose to that runs up to the drivers side radiator hose mount.

    Speedometer going crazy

    I know people use the sprays and such but I have always used graphite when dealing with the speedo heads....even the cables I'll puff a bunch of that in it too. It doesn't gum up like the oils do.

    Help in western Arkansas?

    I know this doesn't help much but if she can get a charger on the batteries where it sits that would speed up the repair process...plus once it starts she can run it for the day without shutting it off since it doesn't take much power to run...which might get here closer to someone that can...

    Mep802a won't shut off!

    The place I'd look is the TM section of the gensets. It has tons of info on where to look and troubleshoot. I am assuming it didn't run when you got it but if it did was the oil gauge working and the switch?

    Front end rebuild

    I like to look in the TM and get part numbers and nsn from that then search those out. What I find is NOS parts from surplus companies out there that don't charge much at all plus you usually get American made parts. They will be old but not used so they'll work perfect.

    Need Some Help with Rear Axle Seal "blow out"

    Ok so I looked at the pics you posted of the spindle and the red arrow....That looks like the bearing spun on the hub. Outward from the red line the shiny metal gets dark like not machined...right at that point it looks like there's a lip there as well which there shouldn't be one. What...

    Need Some Help with Rear Axle Seal "blow out"

    You got a live one there!!! The bar that is bent on the floor goes under the wheel cylinder in the notches on each shoe. You are missing spring 22 that goes on the one end of that bar. The parking brake bracket that's laying next to the bent bar goes through the self adjuster part 16 if you...

    I think once he gets the 300$ bill to fill up the tank you'll know if he's up the other repairs!!

    M1009 basket case vacuum system

    Bouncing that much at idle is typically the diaphragm...the engine would basically have to be shutting off to get that low of a number...there are pods on ebay and other sites for a click over 130$. Might want to send the tech the guide on how to set the vacuum valve on the throttle...once you...

    M1009 basket case vacuum system

    Yes that's where they should test it. Just curious about the actual reading of vacuum, meaning it's bouncing up and down or steady vacuum at 20hg? Changing the puck is easy and I doubt the gear is worn that bad...can pop it out to check though.

    M1009 basket case vacuum system

    So your vacuum goes from negative 20 to negative 5 hg? Bouncing? Where are they checking for vacuum at? The vacuum system is extremely basic on these...do they have the vacuum lines hooked up right on the throttle valve? Have them swap it around and see if they're on the wrong connections...

    MEP-803A wiring to a 50 amp plug (several questions)

    There's a bar on the lugs you have to remove...can't remember which one they're on now but it's extremely obvious when you look at the lugs...I think it's on the bottom 2?? I'm not sure what code is where you're at so have the electrician do that part. Oh and this machine will produce a ton of...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    So today was a hot one for January got to 49 degrees. Kiddo went outside and found a good bit of diesel leaking out the back! We found the diesel heater steel line had cracked and with the fuel expansion it found its way out there! Pretty good spot too. Found it quick with a shot of compressor...

    MEP-803A wiring to a 50 amp plug (several questions)

    One thing to consider is the genset will do 52 amps at 220 so since it can go over that by several amps you might want to look at getting a bigger plug or hard wire it to the house from the genset with bigger wire...that depends on how far away the gen is from the house on how big of wire you'll...
