RT-524 installed, was waiting to find the power cable, Fair Radio had them. Still need to run the antenna base tuning cable and mount the mike hang up.
An on line ad had some manuals for sale, I asked if he had any more goat parts and for a month or so he dug them out of a storage building and kept sending them. One was the new center console, he shipped it thrown in a zip tied garbage bag and it arrived without a scratch from CA, a shipping...
In the process of replacing the front clip of my recently acquired 86 M1009, looks like it may have shot off in the woods and hit a tree. No frame damage, all sheet metal damage.
Looks like you have the engine side squared away, I don't have any engine side harness parts, I do have a good vehicle side harness that has plenty of length and should work. If you want it I will send it out tomorrow.
Here are some more NOS goodies I found by accident, all boxes are marked Tooele Army Depot, BII truss kits and a jack packed with the goat. Only thing I am missing is the lug wrench.
Luckily I am only doing the tops, transmission output, transfer input, just waiting for the rest of the parts to show up. Both seals and sleeves were readily available.
Interesting that if you go here you can buy a kit direct from Uncle, you can even add it to your Amazon account.

That location above the fuel tank is the correct location for the M11, although it is tight as you say. Be careful on that fender mounted one, don't catch your shoe on it and take a header! Actual footage of Operation Urgent Fury shows the MERDC painted goat with a yellow bridge plate...
Pulled the leaking transfer input seal today, looks like to be safe I will speedy sleeve the flange. Looks like the transmission output seal is leaking too, might as well tackle that now while the u-joint is out.

Nice, thought I would sneak that one in without warning you, also got word today that your other large parcel has been shipped today UPS, you will be sitting pretty soon. Finding all these NOS goat parts is exciting, I guess more are on the way.
