Yes I know. I cut down a few CUCV brush guards and fit them onto other vehicles. A Chevy S10 Blazer and a Jeep Cherokee. I even cut a slightly damaged one apart for extra bars on a few of my own CUCV's that I added lights and changed the front end lighting. I could have used 1/4" x 2 flat bar...

Today was a very relaxing and playful day. I was able to get an idea of creativity together. I thought about it a long time. I have the front end 95% assembled for my barn assembly building. This set of front bumper braces/brackets came off the decade wrecked M1009 and I found them while...

creativity [ˌkrēāˈtivədē] NOUN the use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work. "firms are keen to encourage creativity" I was cleaning up the past few weeks and came across some parts that are just not worth saving and beyond repair. I thought...

I have come to the conclusion that a Kubota is a pain in the.... Bite your tongue. That behavior is uncalled for. I only speak like that about Dodge/Ram trucks, Iveco's, and Volkswagens. Nothing runs like a deer and nothing stinks like a john. They are all basically the same just a different...

There is no way I have enough water or moisture to bulge the filter. I think the pressure needs adjusted and that requires a gauge and shimming from what I am reading. I will look into it. I did drain a half gallon of that expensive Kubota UDT2 into the drain pan. Clean oil.

No wonder why the bolts are broken some of this crap had to be at least 70 lb tight I remember an old guy at the Sears Auto Center. He said tighten them until they squeak. He was referring to muffler clamps and that held true most times. Do you recall that squeak? Good Luck. Even a 3/8" M12...

Yes you can remove the water pump without removing the coolant cross over manifold. The water pump is attached to the upper STEEL timing plate and the water pump is bolted onto that steel plate from behind. I have the stud bolt you need here in my hand. There are 17 to 18 threads on the inner...

You have 2 identical studs on the passengers side. I think if I were doing this job I would remove the front timing cover and get right back in there. That is going to be a tough spot to work so deep in the engine. Some centering punches and a left hand drill bit may help. But I would do a...

Yea I have a few that I stored 25 years ago that just have way to much damage to fix. The structure at the door is all messed up. Guess how? Loaders. Doors, fenders, bedsides were destroyed by stupidity not to mention the undercarriage and driveline carnage that was done. I bought 2 M1009's that...

They have that covered. Blow proof filter housing.

In an attempt to raise the European happiness level I present a right M1009 door that has been repaired. It had light dents that required a thin coat of Rage. Not Rage from me. This Rage. Sort of like Rage against the machine. A light coat of glazing and this door is finished. I was doing an...

Yes you have 10 x 1.5 threads on that stud. Did you get it out?

Remove the adapter assembly from the speedometer cable and the transfer case. Does the gear spin inside the adapter. Now check your transfer case oil. Is it full or nearly full? Has the nylon gear on the transfer case been chewed off? Using a 10mm wrench remove the speedometer gear housing and...

I would have the bolt stud you need as a replacement. Do you have any threads that are usable to get a stud started? Give the drill and remove tactic a try and report back. I myself just buy replacement parts from any of the local auto parts dealers. I look for the best price and the best...

I don't understand the question and which bolt you are referring to. That is not the lowest mounting bolt that I am aware of. The lower one is a stud.

To day I had all good intensions. I started at 0600 AM and put tools away and pulled the Kubota up for service. I am not sure what is going on but I seem to have a swelled hydraulic filter. I am not sure what is causing that but it was the same way the last time I removed it to change the...

I have this fender for at least 25 years. It is painted with CARC 686 TAN. The paint is as thick as pancake batter. The entire truck was painted the same way. I parted it out back in the day because I didn't know any better. But really I hated the paint because of the poor job that was done. It...

I seen that the M1009 project was about to slip to page 2 in the CUCV section. Not this time. Today I replaced the left cab mounts. I made progress and will be able to use the original rear body bolts. I have all the body mounts installed on the main body. Correction the upper body...

He did retire he is living on a farm in up state New York and does custom car restoration. He completed this car a few years back. The hay baler was used for parts to do the restoration. Good Luck. And I do have an M1008 drive shaft I would sell. It is in excellent condition but is missing the...

I am a Rick so I will reply. I never done a business with Oregon Fuel Injection. I have no opinion. I am on the east coast and they are on the west coast. I had a local business that rebuilt all my injection pumps in the early years. After 2010 they went out of business. Since I have been using...
