Never. Never replace head gaskets without sending the head or heads to a reputable automotive machine shop. Never. I have brand new GM heads in wooden crates. I use them for book ends in my barn. Doubt me.
Now the fuel tank bracket and a dash that I removed and has the caged nuts if that is what you ate looking for. I am slow to look but I have all the parts for a CUCV.
I went looking because I felt like I should play nice. I have been very busy and I made great progress today on other projects. Remain calm. The gate cable genuine GM used one of my prize parts I have a set of NOS GM battery apron reinforcements
wrong gate parts box
The fuel tank bracket...
Is that the part you need that goes on the instrument panel structure. That is heavily spot welded into place but can be drilled out of a dash structure if you need one bad enough. Or do you need the outer bracket that bolts to that structure?
I guess I better think about getting the steering and brakes back to operational and if I go that far I may as well throw in the harness and get it started and drive it over under its own power. That seems to be a reasonable goal to work towards. Then the long winters nap.
I can think of no reason why I could not put the wheels and tires back on my M1009 project. It is basically in my way at this point, and I am afraid to work in my shop. I have a few small tractors that need to be maintained before putting them away for the winter. Ho I wish I had an open bay...
Quite the common problem that stems from the high compression engine stopping in one of four spots when turned off. These four spots show excess wear on the few teeth of the ring gear where the starter hits it. Usually there are five or six teeth that show wear, chipping, grinding, etc., marks...
I have had to shim a few CUCV starters. But not many. Early on the first CUCV's I bought many were missing the support brackets and a few had broken starter bolts. I used to remove the solenoid and measure the engagement of the gear into the ring gear/flexplate. Then I learned a lot about...
The 2 bolts holding the pump thru the cover plate to the block are 7/16" hex head bolts. An 11mm socket works also. I prefer a 6-point socket. Good Luck.
Did you remove the cover plate that is attached to the block by 2 M6 hex head bolts. The bolts have 10mm heads and once the cover plate is removed you just apply some wheel bearing grease onto the push rod and stuff it back up in there. that will hold it up in place till you are able to get the...
The old yoke was wound with grass and needed a new seal anyway. Taking the axle out makes it easier to do and install the new leaf springs. Have a Great Week and Be Safe.
I removed the rear axle and the yoke flange. It was easy. The hardest part was getting the old rubber bushings from the shackles. I done it with my bell joint press and a cone socket. Used to burn them out and hate the mess and smell. Second hardest was the brake line to the frame connection...
