    My DIY tow bar

    I think a pair of matching heavy triangular plates welded fast to the tow eye "top and bottom" with 2 holes to accept the arm bolt pins will work just fine. That will still allow for the adjustable tow bar width your looking for.

    Wiper issues

    Make sure you bypass the radio resisters that the military put in. They are no longer needed, will often fail and cause issues with your wipers. If that's not the case, it sounds as if you got bad remanufactured wiper motors "It happens". You can turn them back in for a replacement under...

    You may have water in the system. Hydraulic fluid doesn't expand or compress but water does when it freezes. My Kubota hydraulic fluid always has water in it when I change it. Look for a hidden drain plug lowest point on the underside.

    What are these wires and capacitor?!?!?

    Never new of or heard of a fire hazard from the OEM 24v to 12v resister. Both my trucks are still hooked up stock and I still sleep soundly at knight.

    Was looking for a shop in or near Milwaukee to work on M1008; then did it all myself!

    1986 M1008 losing power

    Be careful when cleaning the translucent basil that covers the idiot lights. The white in the white circles will actually dissolve and rub off when trying to clean them.
