I have my little 4WD Kubota. Saves an old man's back and it also a great toy.

Today I am out crushing rocks, bricks and concrete. Whatever I can find that will fit into the crusher. I have accumulated tons of material over the past 30 years. I crushed several tons and have much more to go. It is my newest toy I have been working on it for several years. I am going to...

On a cool, quiet night I can hear the CUCV's rusting. Have Fun and be safe.

On the inner fender aprons. The import ones work fine for many years. One thing. You can't just take a new import and install it. They are coated in wash primer and that has zero corrosion resistance. I have scuffed and primed them. I have scuffed and painted them. The best method I have...

I probably have a new import drivers side in stock. I can look. I have genuine GM ones but they are not cheap.

Are you sure the modulator is hooked up? It has a small metal line that plugs into it and a small, short rubber hose to serve as a seal. I wish I were closer.

I have a brand-new GM one. They have been discontinued for years. All it does is tell the handle the window is down.

I think you did a great job with the splice. As long as it is sealed it is good to go. Great job.

Are you sure the vacuum pump head swap is creating correct amount of vacuum? With the engine idling and the hose disconnected at the vacuum pump it will chirp or suck your finger tip fast to the vacuum pump exit line. Check it out. A gauge works also but I got by without one for years and still...

If I remember correctly a return line will create a loss of prime. The return lines go from nozzle to nozzle and allow air to enter the fuel system. That creates loss of prime and requires the cranking time to purge the air. I am thinking some of the issues with this M1009 are internal injection...

It was a half decent day. After work I removed 2 sections of trailer frame and the front light corners from my newest trailer. Nice forklift modification to the rear support bracket. I can fix it. I am adding another frame section to the rear of the trailer and moving the centered rear...

Smoking resistors? Only time I ever had any smoking resistors was when I was off road and they were wet with mud. And resistor's do get hot. When you say smoke is it light smoke or heavy smoke. Asking because I never seen them smoke more then a small bit from moisture and mud, dirt being on...

I must be the luckiest CUCV owner alive. After owning many, many CUCV's I have never replaced a harmonic balancer on any of the CUCV's I owned. I never replaced one on any vehicle I owned. I had vehicles from the 60's that had the original balancers on them. I am a firm believer in "if it ain't...

Nice weather today. I came home after work and continued on my lower barn bay project. I found a lot of good CUCV parts. I found a box with about 20 of the new E brake rubbers in it. Genuine GM. I will be posting a few items on play it forward soon. I would rather give the stuff away and have it...

As long as your ring and pinion are good I was going to suggest an Eaton locker. It will need 30 spline axle shafts but repairing what you have will be 1/2 that cost. I have a almost new center spool from a 1991 K5. That is why the I mentioned it. Good Luck...

Tell me how many you need in a PM and I will mail you some. It takes 5 - 6 long ones. I have genuine ones. PM me please.

I still am amazed on how things are mistreated when they are moved around. I would have lost my job years ago for handling material and vehicles with this carelessness. The jack was half buried and folded up. How hard is it to lower the jack?

I am amazed that every trailer chassis I see has damaged master cylinder caps and break away cable. This one was the first of 3 I have that had perfectly clean fluid and an unbroken cap on the master cylinder. Only issue is the casting ears on the master cylinder are broken off from being...

I may have missed this in the write up. Do you know there is a centering pin/bolt in the leaf springs to keep them centered and not fanning out and back and forth. Just tightening the U bolts is not going to make the springs stay together and centered. Actually the U bolts are probably over...
