I have 35-12.5R15 on my M1009 and they fit and run fine with no lift or mods. I also have 35-10.5R15 on my 1988 V10 Suburban and they fit and run fine with no mods.

Welcome, from Polk County, NC.

Looks like I wait for the PTO powered solution. I have plans for a hydro winch in the future anyway. Just trying to speed it up but not at the expense of having to replace the pump in short order. Meanwhile, I will keep charging the battery from house current. Thanks

When I converted my bobbed M35 to a dump I installed a 12V hoist pump (on one battery) since I could not find a 24V pump at the time. (the pump was included in the kit) I have had pretty good luck with it but when I am busy moving dirt I run the one battery down and have started charging the...

Just read through your entire thread. Nice job on the truck, documentation and pictures. Way to stick with it!

What about an extension to clear radiator and mount pump to frame. I have a m35 wo/w, but have a winch and PTO that came from another M35.. I have also bobbed the truck and put a dump kit on it and the 12V pump is a pain to use. I would like to convert the winch to hyd and use the same pump for...

How about some pictures of the winch converted to hydraulic? I.E. Hyd motor on the winch as mounted on stock bumper extensions......is there room for a motor? Has it been done with a shaft between motor and winch? Fabrication required? What motor was used? Inquiring minds want to know. I have a...

Looks like a good idea. About the same setup as the M1009. Was it hard to make the mounts?

Here is a picture.

I installed a Scotts Level Lift on my bobbed deuce also but could not find a 24V pump. Where did you find the 24V version? I am running the 12V off one battery and it is difficult to keep it charged if I am working it hard. I normally end up connecting a charger to it plugged into land power...

Both are 12v but one is floating ground so when in series they add up to 24v.

Thanks JGB, I will get it bench tested and most likely rebuilt and add the DH mod to protect me in the future. Charlie

Doghead, A simple explanation like: "You should rebuild the starter and also do the DH relay mod. The cause is almost always the starter(failure). The stock relay is the weak point that fails when something else causes it to stick(overloading it and it's internal design fails in the on...

Thanks for the input guys. I have considered the doghead relay mod several times but have never installed it as I have never had trouble with the relay before this. At this time I think the starter issue (whatever it was) caused the relay to fry vs the relay causing a problem with the starter...

Hi, I have a question as to what happened so I can figure out what I should do to have it not happen again. I have had my 1986 M1009 for 15 years. It has about 250K miles on it and has been running great. It is a backup vehicle so it does not get driven every day but normally once or twice a...

Try to tighten the fuse block thru bolt There is a bolt that holds the two halves of the fuse block together....like a clam shell... if you will. I believe the bolt is on the engine side of the block but it has been a long time since I had trouble with mine and I have slept since then. It is...

goldwing2000, I moved the axle back between 11-12" and would have moved it back a few more if I had ordered the hoist kit prior to shortening the chassis. The hoist kit recommended no more then 6" between the rear spring hanger and the hinge pin and mine worked out about 9-10". As it is the...

Bobbed Duece Measurements ICAT, I cut 36" off my drop side bed to keep the vertical posts balanced as factory. I sectioned the bed (and the drop sides), cutting out one vertical post so I did not have to mess with the front or back of the bed. You can see the evidence of the cuts/welds on...

12VDC Pump Here is a picture of the pump install. I attached it directly to the sub-frame I built so I could unplug the battery disconnect, disconnect the controller and lift the entire bed and sub-frame off the truck if needed.

dump costs elkhunter, My dump hoist was a bit over $2000 and had about $5-600 more in steel for the sub-frame, weld wire, gas, paint, bolts, hydraulic fluid, etc. I worked on mine over 14 months and did the bob first which too much longer then the dump install. I don't have any idea as to...
