Here is the link http://discoveryparkofamerica.com/event/military-living-history-weekend/ I will be there Sat Sun Mon with my M1009 and M116a2 trailer (Cold War era and 1st Gulf War display). If there are any fellow CUCV owners in the area, PM me about displaying your CUCV there too.

Seeing this on youtube made me wonder if I could mount a TOW tube on my M1009 just for kicks. I have an old practice TOW I use as part of my living military history displays I do. PS Its 1:19 min into this video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t-akbhcsjmg

Got my drive shaft back from race shop and the thing is too long. I think its suppose to be 29 1/2" center joint to center joint

What is the shortest tire I can use to lower my M116a2 generator trailer? I need to change the 235/85R-16 LR E anyway and figured I could go with 235/80R-16 LR E Could I go as small as 235/75R-16 LR E? My overhead cover is 1-3" higher than the trailer. And would like to have more clearance...

In 79-80 time fram we were trying out several skid mounts to carry them externally on a Huey, in the 101st Abn Div. After Desert Storm they were all in the DRMO lot with crated engines and other parts. The only motorcycles I saw besides a half dozen Suzuki's we tested with, were the Kawasaki's...

Tried cycling the blackout switches, but did not help. Found service light 30 amp fuse blown and replaced. Still no help. Recycled the blackout light switches after fuse replacement and all is fixed. Just thought it would be good to add this tid bit of info, in case someone has a like issue.

Vehicle took 3-5 more mph to shift for the last 6 months. Could not figure out why. Then recently developed a slight vibration now and then that came and went out. So when my front right caliper locked up bigger than Stuttgart, replacement of both calpers and brake pads seem to fix my shifting...

Just a FYI. I went to replace my wiper motor and turns out its one of the parts you have to get for model year 1983. They changed by 1986 for the civilan K5 Blazer.

Just finished installing an RT524 using a AS3900/A instead of the AS1729 antenna. Although I have no way to actually check it out for functionality. I did try and transmit in low power with an AM radio within 6" from the antenna and it appears to be putting out power. Im thinking the antenna...

Trailer is doing great, but think Im going to switch to the plastic jerry cans.

I had two 525cca bateries and starting issues on and off Since buying my M1009. Then I switched recently the primary to a 950cca and have not had a problem since. Will see how it goes this winter. Starts like nobodys bz right now.

All I had to do is haul a 75mm pack howitzer about 2 hours each way on a 16" trailer with no trailer bracks or sway bar in an underpowered F150. Only issues were the stopping and starting time/distance.

I have a MEP017a new to me generator that does not have a throttle cable installed. Upon further investigation I found the choke not connected to the electric solenoid, so I connected that. Can someone post a few pictures of theirs so I can add a choke cable and verify the linkage?

I have a M116 with a Humvee cover on it. The original covers are hard to find and to expensive. I am putting sides on using two 6" 5/4 deck boards. About a foot high. Is that high enough to latch a M101 trailer cover on? Or do I need to use one more deck board? Also, what is a Humvee soft cover...

What 5 gallon jerry can will fit the old style brackets and where can I buy some? I cannot bring myself to pay $100 a piece as I need 5 for my M116a2 generator trailer. I bought some new NATO cans that will not fit. They have a squarish bottom and seam. Will the newer plastic military ones...

Before and current pictures. Museum and local MVPA members have assisted me in reviving the old girl. Still have a lot to do. Been working on it for about a year now. Amazing what an old disabled Huey mechanic can get done with fellow MV enthusiast. 1st work was to raise money to pour a cement...

I took out my speedometer and replaced it because the needle broke. After doing so the Gen 1&2 lights do not light up when key is turned on. I checked voltage at alternators 1&2, both putting out 14.5VDC. Check batteries and front battery is getting 14.5VDC but rear battery is only showing...

No matter how much I clean, it reappears. This baby has dirt literally up its kazoo.
