How id the install go? Cure your issue? I just bought the same kit you did and about going to install mine this weekend. My 1009 will only trip the GP's after sitting overnight, or sitting a really long time. She still starts every time, but have noticed the GP's don't cycle like they use to.
Hello,
I have been trying to attach a photo on a message with Saberr to explain a seat measurement, but I cannot attach a photo. Is there a way to attach one? Using the "test" forum, I can attach them.
This weekend I visited my local Napa with a printed Doghead wire diagram in hand. Hopefully this weekend my M-1009 will not be "running away" in the future.
Thank you Doghead!
Those are dust covers that "Pop" into the brake adjusting slot on the backing plate. These push in the slot on the outside. Will try to find a picture.
Thank you! Currently the museum has no plans to restore the T-50 (airplane). Sadly, it is in pretty bad shape, over the years this air-frame has donated parts to keep other T-50's going. Being largely made up of wood (wings, spar, elevator, etc.) it did not hold up well over the years.
Thank you! Her data tag is not stamped for the year, if memory serves me right, Kaiser-Jeep is the manufacturer. The only dates I have found were on the crane operators compartment stating 1968 certifications (riveted plate) along with boom certifications done 11/91 stenciled on the boom. The...
The Duckling has a direct transmission, the shift pattern is a standard "H", but yes, she is wicked slow but will get you there! With her weight, I do not know if the turbo'ed multi-fuel could handle the overdrive.
I have attached several more pictures of the "Ugly Duckling" when she arrived at the shop, during her refurbishment and being used in off-road recovery. The recovery photos do not do the location justice, with the steepness of the incline climbing out of the riverbed.
A close friend (mentor) lets me store, play, operate and maintain his M-543 wrecker. The owner (my boss at the time) and I rescued her and brought her back to the yard. She was purchased from another local tow company that had given up on her (left to sit in the corner of the yard, sinking into...
When installing the lift springs of the front of my truck, I found that the shackle bolts are attached on one side together. Both nuts and one side plate (1/2 of the shackle) must be removed so the bolts with the welded bolts on it can be removed.
My 2 cents....
NDT,
I did not find a Memphis Equipment tag. There is a cast steel/aluminum name plate attached between the left front fender and the door. Anyone heard of them?
Update:
I was wrong on the "Date of Delivery", she was accepted on 1/52 (what I get for not writing it down). Serial #4890. I'm going over to Halftrackkid's place today and I will get more pictures. Here are shots of the data plate.
Last weekend Halftrackkid and I made a trek out in the foothills East of Bakersfield, CA. to recover a WW2 CCKW sitting on a ranch about to be cut up for scrap. The ranch had been sold, the new owners wanted everything "Gone". Neither Halftrackkid or I could let a pice of history meet the scrap...
Update:
Halftrackkid finalized the title transfer and new plates are on their way. When Halftrackkid and I first looked the 09 over at the Auction yard, we both noticed that the Left front fender, left door and the hood have been replaced. The left rear quarter showed signs of body repair...
Today I met up at Halftrakkis's place to fetch the 09. Halftrackkid had already picked up 2 new group 31 batterys and has tools and fluids on-board ready to go! After checking in at the Auction yard office, we head over to the sitting M-1009. I get the hood open, Halftrackkid has the new...
