Try penetrating oil to free the lever bushings from the shaft and check that the push-pull rods are not binding together from a cotter pin that walked out or something that fell in there. Also do some preventative maintenance on the backhoe levers as they suffer from the same problems if the...

What are good lockers for M1009 with 3/4 ton front and 1 ton 14 bolt rear axles?

4WD and lockers are on independent air lines. The selector switch will pressurize the cylinder for the 4WD lever on the tranny when set to the first (4WD) setting. The next setting will supply air to both the 4WD cylinder and the lockers in both axles. As FLU Farm pointed out, a stuck 4WD...

This buzzer is supposed to alert the operator of problems when sitting in the backhoe seat (from which the warning lights and buzzer in the cab are not noticeable). The test button on the dash is to verify the functioning of that buzzer. You have to hold the test button for a while to make the...

Drilling a stepped hole into the joint line of two clamped-together blocks of aluminum or hardwood is not as fancy but works just as well.

There is a safety relief valve on the cross member close to the hood. It connects the hard lines for raising and lowering. If that is stuck open, you will not get pressure on the loader cylinders. The rubber hoses will move slightly if you are building pressure against the pistons of the loader...

Are the handles of both valves close to the QD fittings (left front of vehicle) aligned with the fittings/hoses?

Got the parts for adding the factory A/C yesterday and decided to sell my GM4 turbo parts for the 6.2L diesel (See ad in GA rally buy/sell thread if interested in the turbo kit)

I am getting ready to put a beefed-up 700R4 in my M1009 but I would not dare to put the same tranny in a HMMWV due to the weight of the latter. The 4L80 is IMO the better choice for the HMMWV and it's drawback, the electronic control, is available as a proven OEM part that does not require...

Just want to share a recent experience of running a 7.3L Navistar (Ford Powerstroke with different ECU) without additional lubrication additive. After burning about 700 gallons of straight #2 ULSD, the injection events were fading out softly and randomly at mid power. Idle and full power was...

Bring it to the GA rally. It's about half the distance and I could help hauling you back if needed. I'll bring my M1009.

PM sent about sources for trannys and/or parts. With these big air horns you will have the choice of either using the air in the tank for braking or for blowing the obstacle off the road.

What would happen if the lines were reversed on the shock? Could the HMMH shock absorbers be used to raise OR lower the front of the vehicle?

Did anybody figure out how the suspension lockout on the HMMH actually works? The front shocks of the HMMH are different and have two hoses each attached to them that go to an electric pump unit. One possibility to make this work would be to pump oil into the lower cylinder portion of a...

Last call to get you items on the truck or trailer. We are departing early on Sept. 24.

When reading the word "regroovable" on these tires, I am always wondering how this could look like. I guess someone needs to try. BTW: I have four of the original 12.5R20 Michelins for sale in the "Parts for sale" forum.

I second this suggestion having been in the same predicament but with 4WD working. Extend the backhoe straight back as a counterweight and prop the front tires up with the loader (the loader is too weak for this when the hoe is stowed). Put gravel, small rocks or planks under the tires. Then...

Are the the MB issued manuals? Could you post some pics of the covers?

PM member "profo". He has two parts machines that were airdropped - literally. The splined section should have survived the impact though. Member "speedwoble" maybe another possibility.
