In defense of the truck. It is a 1987 M1028 and has a load of Sycamore logs under the Maple. Sycamore is what they make chopping blocks out of. Very dense and heavy wood. Besides the springs are OEM springs and all CUCV's should have new springs by now. I have a set for this truck. I will get...

I started to hang the left fender in place and needed help. I stopped and will wait for help. Getting it aligned without chipping the painted edges requires assistance. It is bolted loosely in place. That is a step in the right direction. Take Care. Be Safe.

WOOD.

While I was out working and greasing all 6 of the hand brakes of the M1102 trailers and chassis I thought I would remove the hand brakes from another trailer I have sitting here and using parts from it. I was able to get both of these hand brakes from my trailer frame. I would like to trade...

I went out and removed the first brake lever and had it back in operational status in a few minutes. These pliers are for getting the sprag springs depressed closed so the lever can be removed. I only removed 1 lever and figured it out that I don't need to remove them to get them working...

I am going out to my barn and work on a few things. An M1102 trailer and an M1009. I will be back with pictures. The M1102 needs to have operational hand brakes on it so I can park it and not have it roll away. I am going to put a lunette ring lock on it after I design one. I have 3 trailers...

OK. No help. I am going out with tools and a positive attitude. I will learn by doing. Best way. I have nothing to lose. I will report back with pictures.

How many of these buckles do you really need? I have them. They are brand new with a short piece of material on them. I bought them when I had my Mule M1009 for the top.

I am new at modern military trailers and learning about the handbrake system. I have 3 of the M1102 trailers and each one has a unique issue with the handbrakes. Most problem I feel are due to lack of maintenance and someone used a vise grips in an attempt to adjust or tighten them. I have a...

I now know how this guy feels. I am doing all this with my chores , work , life , and hobbies. Soon I will be adding fishing. But still have time for Family. Take Care. I will get something CUCV related done this week. Even if it means cutting one up for scrap. Every vehicle meets the scrap pile...

This thread is 12 years old and the man that started it has not been on the site since 2011. Take your mouse over his name and it will show you his last activity date. And since the CUCV is 99.9% 12 volt you will NOT need any converter. Good Luck. My vote is for the stock diaphragm pump. Tried...

A needle nose hemostat clamp works perfect. I have stock GM return lines in the bags I bought 25 years ago and have used maybe 1 or 2 in 200K miles. Texas might eat them faster. Good Luck. Rubber or cloth. All the same.

Really. I thought for sure we has a CSI here that could tell if they are the OEM tires. One thing that makes me suspect that they are NOT OEM is the absence of wheel weights. And like I mentioned I recall all the new M1009's having the Uniroyal Laredo tires, and the pick up cab chassis variants...

It is fairly easy. Check out this thread. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucv-head-gasket-head-or-change-engine-survey.137671/page-8#lg=post-1769561&slide=3 And the best part is you can return it to an M1009 again just like I did. The parts are easy to come by. The front bed wall can be...

As always I want the correct thing. I don't want to cobble something together and have it fail when it is -20 and I am 100 miles from home in a blizzard. I will live with the incandescent bulbs till I locate a pair of LED. I have many 4" civilian LED and will never be using the military pigtail...

Dorman 904-101 Fuel Injection Return Hose & Clamps 82-00 6.2L / 6.5L GM Diesel (dieselpowerproducts.com) I have used these in the past. The clamps are a the hardest thing to get off and seated properly. Take your time and it will all work out. Good Luck.

After a long day I felt the need to do an encore. So here it is. I can hear the cheering already.

I had a very productive weekend. Today I multitasked a few things today. Grass cutting, chicken coop cleaning, and grinding this trailer jack mount off an old trailer frame piece. I found this Bulldog 2,000 lb jack in a field. I am mounting it on my utility trailer. I can't lift the trailer...

Speedo cable lube or cable and chain lube. You can pull the cable out from the top side and examine it. Spray lube or cable lube in a drip bottle works well.

That looks like inexpensive hardware to me. I buy Kubota fasteners and hardware. Expensive is only the cost of doing it right the first time. Try doing it wrong a few times. Is that less expensive?
