Or buy a Kubota with a FEL and don't lift anything over 50 lbs. Getting old creeps up on you.

An M1010 does not have the limited slip front axle or the auxiliary leaf springs on the rear axle. The M1010 was a cab chassis that was made to be an M1010. I seen one CUCV that never made M1010 status with a regular cargo bed on it. The A/C lines were still capped off and the big generators...

https://youtu.be/OvE9zJgm8OY That's about all I'm going to say about that.

After a hard day of play in the barn I did manage to get the brakes bled out and the new E-brake cable installed up front in the cab to the rear cables. I did have to phone a Friend to come help me. I also drove the M1009 out of the barn on its own power. And drove it up the drive way in 4 LO so...

Should be a round metal tag on the rear of the transfer case. And easy the NP208 is Aluminum and the NP205 is Steel. I doubt you have an NP205 in an M1009. Could be. But doubtful. Frohe Weihnachten.

I would say it is the pump suction on a dirty filter that you are hearing. Service the transmission and filter and go from that point. I say the sound goes away. And 64K is NOT the issue. 30 years + is the issue. Lots of cracked seals and parts inside the old TH400. Happy Holidays.

Time to bleed the brakes. And also I purchased an original A C Delco radiator cap from the local GM dealer. It list for $17. and cost me a few cents south of $10. A C Delco RC27 GM part number 10409635. Genuine GM part from the GM dealer. Made in India. Works for me. I was hoping it was...

I agree. Comparing a Dodge and a Ford to a Chevrolet/GMC plow truck is just wrong. I agree the M1009 is quick to respond in tight places and it has served well for the past 20 years. But like I said the comfort level for long term plowing is gone in the older trucks. I hope it don't snow. I am...

The D ring tubes will be for sure. And you can build from that point and add steel to the upper part of the bumper. Have welder and steel with an idea you can build. I built some very useable things from scrap parts and stock steel. Wood hauler from a Honda mower with trailer from a hand truck...

No Joy here. I continue to find wiring that has been pulled out and spliced under the hood. I now have the under dash wiring in place but no ground to the Gen 2 light socket terminal. This is when my love of newer vehicles grows. I never had the cluster out of any other plow vehicle looking for...

I seen the window stickers on the M1009's right off the carriers. They were over $17K. and the M1010 was over $50K. I can not vouch for the pickups. I don't remember the price of them to affirm and debate. I had one of the stickers in my tool box from an M1009 and somewhere in time it got lost...

I have the hacked up harness removed and on the cargo bed. The replacement one is re-taped at a few places and about ready to install. Dropping the steering column is an easy task to access everything on the upper column. Moving right along. I am hoping this resolves the light issue. Not sure...

Its a beautiful day in the neighborhood. This is a prime example of how a small fix turns into a hack job. This truck was with another division within the company. They had some issues with the heater switch and decided to install a radio in it. The wiring was hacked into at several places. I am...

WHAT? Come again.

That's correct and a stripped bare bones m1009 was almost $18K. I drove them when they arrived at the dealership. They needed recall work as soon as they arrived. The M1010's were at our dealership for almost a year with charging issues. They were over $50K.

8 hours plowing in a CUCV is like 40 hours plowing in the 2015 GMC 2500. I did break a few things on both trucks but I still like the newer trucks on my older body. That and the climate control and entertainment system works out better when plowing 24 hours straight. I lost Big Red over the...

I am guilty of the same pleasures. Love the new Chevys. Look forward to a new truck every 5 years. I have been waiting for 6 months on my new truck. Due mid January 2019. I still like the old CUCV's but I agree it is the reliability and comfort that I desire most from the new truck. Nice truck...

Today after work was another success. I came home and dumped 5 gallons of diesel in the truck fuel tank from a plastic 5 gallon military can. I set the batteries up in and hooked them up. I turned the key everything lit. The wait light came on. I shut off the key and removed the 20 amp engine...

Hey let me know I think I can find a spindle nut, snap ring, lock block and all. The snap ring may be the hard part for me to find but I am sure it can be located. The hub I have has good bearings in it. Anyone have a snap ring for this guy? Let me know where you stand. Just get the surfaces...

Today after work was NOt a total waste. It was cold but I decided that each day I need to get something completed. Today I didn't make great leaps and bounds but I still accomplished more by working 2 hours then watching the inside of my eyelids on the sofa. Todays list and I checked it twice...
