    Locking Style Seatbelts for Child Seat (Rear seat, M1045A2)

    Hi Everyone, Looking for the simplest way of putting in locking seatbelts into the rear of a M1045A2. I want to be able to secure a child seat when we are out on some light duty trails on my property. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    Mechanical/Lift Pump Issues M1043A2

    Hi everyone, Happy to report she is back up and running again. It was indeed the clogged anti-siphon valves (2x) near the tank that was causing it not to run. Curiosity remains if that’s all it was, but at $50 replacing the mechanical lifter pump was good insurance anyways. Issue/topic closed...

    Mechanical/Lift Pump Issues M1043A2

    Mechanical/Lift Pump Issues M1043A2

    Pump was sourced from Midwest Military Equipment, so I assumed it’s the right one. I did not rotate the engine to any particular point before aligning — is that something I do on the crank (manually) or is there a better/different way?

    Mechanical/Lift Pump Issues M1043A2

    Hi Everyone, First time posting but have searched myself blue through every post here trying to find a relevant post without bothering everyone with new thread…but here I am. GovPlanet M1043A2 delivered to me with “78” miles (I know, could be anything—underside is INSANELY clean however with...
