    M809 PTO question

    Thanks for the response, I'll take a look at it again as I have not figured it out. The total travel should help me out.

    Just got my first MV!

    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...

    Stripped the hood down to metal and painted it to the best of my abilities. Turned out ok.

    M809 PTO question

    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...

    Just got my first MV!

    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...

    Just got my first MV!

    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?

    Just got my first MV!

    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...

    Good to know, I'll do both those tests on the brakes this week and let you know how it goes. Thanks

    Just got my first MV!

    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...

    Just got my first MV!

    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

    Got the roof put on last night. They're not exactly bolt on kits, definitely had to fight it a little bit.
