Needing a m809 drivers seat assembly with seat (replacing the bench)
Also needing a m809 fuel tank with no dents please.
Also possibly a passenger side m813a1 drop side for the bed.
As well as a steel battery box
Within driving distance of Kansas City, thanks
Haven't done too much to the truck in the past few weeks other than replaced a few seals. I also discovered I have the rear pto attachment so that's a nice bonus. Not sure if I'll use it or not, been thinking about putting a hydraulic winch in the bed and running a hydraulic pump off of the rear...
I have a winch on my M813a1, the truck did not originally come with a winch. My understanding is there is a low and a high gear for the PTO. I only have two gears down towards the floor and two towards the seat. I got under the truck and adjusted the connector with the all thread to give me some...
Things I've done over the past month.
Painted the winch and got rid of the terrible red.
Painted all the axles with black rust inhibitor.
Painted the hood (turned out bad so no picture hahaha)
I attempted to adjust the doors by moving the hinges, however this turned out to be a nightmare. All...
I seem to have developed a high idle after driving the truck for a extended period of time (30+ minutes). It will idle at about 1k to 1.5k and I have to put it in gear and let it down with the clutch to keep it down. Any ideas at what to look at?
Thanks for all the helpful advice! I'll be sure to keep the rolling back in the wrong gear in mind.
I didnt get too much done on the truck this week, due to the rain I didn't get to do the winch brake tests. Anyhow I changed all three differential fluids, transfer case, and transmission fluids...
Maybe I'm confused as to what the brake should do as I have no winch experience. The winch when unwinding does brake itself if I pull the cable out too fast it seems. What I meant is when the winch is not in use I've accidentally stepped on the drum and spun it which I thought the brake would...
Yup I'm not too worried about it. I'm gonna use some seam sealer to get it all sealed up. I was thinking about making what you described for the windows but I'm not sure when I'll get to it. I'm just happy to have a hard top!
The winch operation on the truck is definitely interesting...
Not that great if close the door with the windows up already. If I close the windows while the door is shut the seal in the corners are much better. I figured that was to be expected. I'm just gonna put some additional weather stripping to block the gaps
