well you could paint it, but you got to get the oil coating off of it first, they treat them with a coating to help delay the rusting affect, you could dip it in acetone, then in soap water to remove the acetone, let dry then put on your desired color of paint, or you could just let mother...

WooHoo I know where I'm Going :jumpin:thanks wallew

I like the chain idea, crap now i got to go out and buy one for my M1009, with winter approacing its a good idea to have easy and quick access to your chain or tow strap, who the **** wants to climb out, go to the back, unlock the window (as long as it ain't frozen) crank the window down, lower...

I was wondering if there is a TM that shows the exploded view of a steering column for the M1009s

If you check the TMs page 269/4-27 it will show you that under the dash just below the ash tray is the location for the voltmeter and gen 2 relays

We should have a section on SS that you can nominate Members and there Quotes to be put in and call it "The Best of SS" I nominate Dug and Gimpy :beer:

I would have to say that it would not be worth it, you can get a better one of of GL or GSA, some of the things you need to think about, 1 is how close is he to your place (towing expense) 2. if it's been sitting for ten years without being ran then you will have to drop the tank, clean out all...

WHAT!!!! I can't hear you, hold on let me turn this thing off, ahh crap now i got that annoying ringing in my ears :driver:

ok, on my 86 M1009 we had spliced into both light and dark blue wires, we pig tailed the two together to one wire to a relay, then from a relay to a switch, it was 18 degrees yesterday morning and it fired right up, took out the controller card (it was bad anyhow)

did you splice into both wires off the controller card harness?

is the sound coming from under the dash up on top of the steering column from the glow plug controller card or is it coming from under the dash down below the ash tray, the reason i am asking is down below the ash tray tucked up under the dash is three relays, your volmeter, generator 2 and your...

:ditto:that is good advice warthog, the originial wire size is a 3, which means you will need a 12 gage wire

It's Miller Time, oh wait can"t do that yet, got to break out the pressure washer and get all the mud out from under there, then it's Miller time, congradulations on getting it out :grd:

ok i was just wondering what that yellow wire was running to in your 1st and fourth pic

that is according to the TMs is a capacitor, now as to what it is for i wouldn't be able to tell you but i am sure somebody on here who knows this electrical stuff will be able to

you know it's easier to just pull the plug on the bottom to get the oil out, you didn't have to flip it over to do that or were you just checking on the undercoating to make sure it was still all there, by the way i've seen your videos, love them

here is the setup in my 86 M1009, i hope some of these pics will help you out, by the way, you don't happen to have a push button start in yours do you
