    OH-58C static build

    Good luck. Most parts, especially instruments, are servicable (to a point) and the Bell 206A+/OH-58 is still flying around the globe today. Parts are in demand and some are very hard to find outside the “circle” of operators. One of the first things done to a crashed Helo is to strip off...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    A Lot! That’s the great thing about these trailers. M101/M105 You can overload them over rated capacity and they come out unscathed. Amazing trailers!

    M1000 Trailer

    That’s a lot of trailer to paint! I would like to see one painted gloss black Red would work. A few other colors too. Sure, a fresh coat of tan or OD would look great, but isn’t always fitting in a commercial application. It’s the bad paint jobs I hate. Nothing or very little taped off...

    A little before and after

    Definitely Different I count 5 colors. Black, brown, cream or tan and two shades of green. Stands out for sure.

    Laundry list for the m1009

    Buy the Snap-On Injector socket if you can find it. I bought a brand new one on eBay. Works perfect and will not damage threads, etc.

    Laundry list for the m1009

    How does one start a CUCV quietly?

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Closed the front and back gates and it was ready to receive empty concrete bags. We were installing new fencing and it was a windy day. As we emptied the bags, they were tossed in trailer so they wouldn’t blow away. Worked like a charm. Trailer gets painted this summer.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Standard red DOT reflective tape on the flat areas will help a lot too.

    Guilty Pleasure

    You definitely get what you pay for in tires. I’m running Coopers on the CUCV because it doesn’t see any long highway duty. Longest trip I usually make for supplies is less than 20 miles. They suite the job I need them to do very well,’which is Ranch Duty. Excellent grip on both loose and...

    Guilty Pleasure

    The BGGs are good and also the Michelin All Terrains Have the Michelin’s ATs on two of my trucks now. Excellent tire. Extremely happy with them. On my Ranch CUCV, I went with the Cooper AT3. They have proven to be a much better tire than I expected.

    Trying to chase the cause of offset steering wheel.

    Steering wheel shaft splines stripped or skipped position? Something in steering shaft? That’s quite a difference in steering wheel position from one trip to the next without something being stripped or busted.

    Trying to chase the cause of offset steering wheel.

    Was it always this way or did it occur on your last trip?

    New to me 1009 will not start

    Welcome to Steel Soliders. If you can’t turn engine over by hand, then your correct.....it’s bad. Have you removed the glow plugs and tried again? It willl reduce compression and if it’s hydro locked, let any water out. Either way, your gonna have to start pulling parts off.

    Any updates?

    First Post, hoping for some starter help...

    If starter hasn’t been rebuilt in a while or never, I would recommend having it rebuilt. It’s already off the truck if you’re testing it. Don’t forget to use new starter bolts and that the front bracket is installed.

    Looking for a Phoenix AZ based mechanic familiar with CUCV

    Members in the Phoenix area might be able to refer you to a shop that can properly do the job. Quite a few guys have done the seal replacement themselves. Since truck has been converted to 12v, your kinda on your own in that area since no one knows what exactly was done to the electrical...
