    Those tires are more aggressive than what's on my Kubota tractor. How are they for over the road at some speed?

    CUCV Battery Recommendations

    Groupe 31 is the way to go. Any brand would be just fine. They are a used in many of the over the road trucks and are very dependable. I used "off the shelf" NAPA brand for my ride, and they have been in my M1009 since 2013 and still going strong. Expect to pay about $150 each and I strongly...

    Rick, Now if I can talk you into a road trip you can come up and reorganize my basement workshop. I'm so ashamed, it hasn't been done in over ten years.

    It must be that ROYAL PURPLE you used is so slippery that the gears are flying out and rubbing the back of the cover.:oops: There goes your MPGs.:(

    That should make your ride run better. If not, like you said, it will complement your bushings.;)

    Keeping a M1009 alive

    The injector lines have been known to crack at the pump connection from overtightening. They may also crack from vibration if the lines are not properly supported or seated in the clamps on the valve covers. I had fuel leaks dripping in the valley as you do. When I inspected closely, I found a...

    Keeping a M1009 alive
