    Yeah I didn't go either. I got my first vehicle around this time last year and had never heard of the MVPA. I had always wanted one but my means didn't allow, I stuck with what items I could afford and researching my granddads Korean War service. Getting a piece of history with a motor has...

    Chattanooga area

    I'm not sure how many official members we have, but it seems there are around 7-10 active members, depending on the location of the event. Also the pre race lap around Talladega was pretty cool, that's an annual event for us. Did you go to the MVPA Convention Huntsville in 2012? Dixie...

    A little over an hour. We just did a Vietnam Veteran show in Cullman Saturday and it was great. Also done an event in Gardendal Sunday then the Veterans Day parade in Bham yesterday. We are a fairly active group.

    Hey ThunderCraker, you aren't too far from me, Hayden, you should come to some of our events, or even join if you like. If nothing else we should meet up one day, you could probably teach this old dog some new tricks on the CUCV. And yes I would drive up to TN for a weekend and surround myself...

    Front Pinion Seal leak

    Sounds like a plan, thanks for the words of wisdom. And I agree 100% on that last statement! I'll update when the job is done.

    Front Pinion Seal leak

    No play, and no scribe mark that I can see. I guess they could have measured the lbs it took to loosen the nut, that may explain no mark. I found a yoke online today reasonably priced if replacing it's the next step I need to take.

    Front Pinion Seal leak

    I was going through some pictures I have saved and I came across a picture of this same area, and there seems to be more space between the yoke and the diff housing now than there was before, or it could just be the angle of the picture. I will report back regarding play this afternoon.

    Front Pinion Seal leak

    I will check for play this afternoon. So in your opinion, or any others, should I just write this up as a lesson learned or should I take it back to the shop and see how they address the issue. I really should have just lived with the small leak(half dollar sized on floor every few days) since...

    Front Pinion Seal leak

    Hello all! So I have been nursing a neck/shoulder injury for a while now and took some time off work a few weeks back. I made a poor choice, and decided to take my M1009 down to a local mechanic to have the front pinion seal looked at and replaced if that was what was causing my leak while I...

    best place to buy replacement glow plugs

    Ive had good luck with AC60Gs as well. Like the above posts state, replace the terminals and bypass the resistor. Best price I have found has been at Advanced Auto. To lower the price, use a coupon found online(just search for AA coupon) and order them on the website, pick them up at the...

    Starter doesn't have bracket mounting stud

    I hope that 4 minutes was worth it for you....Thanks for the information doghead, but a sarcastic reply after I already have an answer that I could not find, after searching the site unsuccessfully and the TMs(Item #s 35 and 36 looked to be the same as I have now), serves no purpose but to...

    Starter doesn't have bracket mounting stud

    Your awesome Warthog! I had no idea it would be that long. Maybe I can put in in without dropping the starter, I'll know sometime next week:driver:I will call before ordering.

    Starter doesn't have bracket mounting stud

    As the title states, my starter doesn't have a stud on it to mount the bracket to. It's a direct drive. Any clue as to why, and does that top bolt that is there just unscrew and allow the mounting stud to be put in its place? Any leads on a mounting stud? My searches for all these questions...

    I couldn't agree more. It's refreshing to see the native language not being butchered in a thread:)
