It may have been evaluated or used by the military. Way back when, I’m guessing 2003 or so, as a senior NCO in the MA army national guard I was tasked with forming something called a Civil Support Team and/or CERF-P. I don’t recall if we used both names interchangeably or if it changed during...

I rarely post in this thread but love the inspiration and ideas that I get from others. Thanks in a large part to all of the wisdom here on SS, I don’t need to do much work beyond basic maintenance. Today I simply took my M1009 on a nice long ride. It was the first time it’s seen third gear...

Trivia time...I believe it was also used in the Grille series of German WWII SPGs.

I echo those who say to check for problems first. My M1009 stock heating system is plenty even when temps are ten below zero or so, here on the Canadian border.

In. Thank you SECO.

You’re in luck that one of the largest Fisher dealers in New England is right down the road. Call Iroquois in Hinesburg, they can tell you.

Rick, words can’t express how that’s a work of art and how your passion is obvious. May the (lucky) new owner enjoy it for many years to come!

Well, where do they lead to? Edit to add: went out and looked at my truck. Not sure which side is “left” as you describe. Forgive my level of knowledge being well below many on this site, but I see similar wires for what I believe are the temperature sensor and electric choke thingamajig on the...

I really appreciate the stripped down photos. I save them as guides for myself so I can tell what some details “should” be, and correct them as needed, as I slowly restore my wife’s M1009.

For what it’s worth... Not sure of your level of skill or access to skilled persons such as Rick. I don’t know how to weld and don’t know anyone who does. And my wife certainly wouldn’t approve of spending the money to hire someone when I could learn a repair myself. When it came time to...

I had a similar reaction some of the above when I opened this thread...we received just shy of two feet of snow yesterday here, it’s about five below zero now, and life continues completely normal and uninterrupted. Only thing unusual was one local restaurant closing for lunch yesterday.

Not sure how to title this properly to get attention as the data I have could apply to many different interests. Ownership history, etc. I used to attend most of the MA state surplus auctions, circa 1998-2007. There were many M880 and M100X series trucks sold. Today I stumbled upon some of the...

My CUCV plow is a Fisher Speedcaster, but I believe I know the pins you speak of... Looking here: https://www.fisherplows.com/parts-service/parts-list/poster/mc-series-a-frame-components/ ...near where the number 178 is seen, there are three holes on each side of the A-Frame. You want the...

Rick, with this particular thread, and all the work I do on my wife’s M1009, that’s the understatement of the year! Much appreciated!

Some may scoff at this, but it perfectly explains some things I am aware of. This has nothing to do with my job, rather as an amateur radio operator who's been around someone who used to do DF work for the FCC and some changes he mentioned.

Very well-said!!!

Testing to see how my profile appears. EDIT: Goal achieved, thank you, please delete :)

Heat ‘er up and then go to town with the cheater bar.

The frequencies that the antenna would be resonant at are known as VHF low band. There are not many services remaining there in use overall. You may find some remnants of fire/EMS paging, emergency management, or utility companies. It’s not likely that you could use the antenna for monitoring...
