Fixed the speedometer. Cable just had to be pushed back in under the dash. Works fine now. Got the horn working. When I got the truck the horn was unplugged. When I plugged it in, it wouldn't stop. Had to remove the diode from behind the horn relay. Horn fixed. No problem thanks to this site...

Here's mine.

Very nice!!

I think that's an "O" ring. There are a few "O" rings and gaskets that can be replaced without tearing the pump apart, but not sure which ones offhand because I usually reseal the entire pump. That diagram looks scarier than it actually is. If you can put a carburetor kit in, you can reseal an...

The pump will have to be removed to reseal it. I buy the kits at a local diesel repair shop. Here's a writeup on resealing a VW pump to give you an idea of what's involved. VWDieselParts.com :: View topic - VE injector pump assembly pictures. . The attached picture is the kit for the 6.2.

I would reseal the pump, then if it has a problem, replace it. You're only out 20 dollars plus your labor if it doesn't work out. I've resealed lots of pumps with success. Why throw money at a problem that may not exist?

Did the doghead starter relay mod on the weekend. Now gotta fix my speedometer. It worked fine for 5 mins after I got the truck, then the needle went crazy and fell to zero.

Doghead, I bought the ford relay at a starter shop. I did this after I couldn't locate a solenoid locally with 5/16 posts. No idea which vehicle it fits. I asked the guy for a ford solenoid, and he asked me one or two post. Both had a grounded mount. I used a diode to help prevent damage to the...

Good point. Good enough to make me change my mind and install a ford solenoid. Much heavier then either of the lawn tractor ones. I had to relocate it, and isolate the grounded mount, but that's no problem, lots of room under the dash. Now I can relax when I start my truck. Glad I read here...

Just picked mine up at the Kubota dealer today. Part # 33-334. Made by Oregon Outdoor Equipment Parts. Will install it tomorrow. Thanks to all involved with this mod.

Thanks for the excellent writeup. I'm going to do this so I can have a spare (or 2) on hand.

Do you have any pics of the procedure?

If the engine is running fine the pump just needs to be resealed. Cost you about 20 bucks for the kit. If you need a pump, you can get a good used one for less than a $100. A rebuilt one can be had for around $300-$400.

Nice!

There's a new hydroboost unit for a M1009 on ebay for 95 bucks. Little over a day left as I type this.

Nice truck!

Looks good!!

Thanks, That's the only pic I have of the hitch. I'll take some when I get it. I gotta pic up a bridge plate and the cover for the slave connection. I doubt the frame braces are there for the pintle hitch either, by looking at the pic I have.

Thanks, Where's the best place to get the bridge plate?
