    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Or just use the front differential out of the donor frame. This old guy don't like impact work. Shoulders and wrists don't feel well after words. I will get Jr to get it off or just rebuild the other differential. Thanks for the info. Still hating on the lift kits. I have a pile of 4" lift kit...

    Best guesses at a restored m1009's value in 2018 and beyond

    I have had good luck in fixing CUCV's driving them and enjoying them for a while and then selling them. I like the hobby of fixing things and using them for a while and setting the bar higher on the next item. I have a collection of Honda tractors, CUCV's and have now stepped up into Kubota...

    CUCV Snow Plow Trucks and Spreaders

    I added a new glow plug relay to Voodoo M1009. I was called in for snow emoval on walkways. It was getting icey. So they say. Fine OT is nice. I usually use a snow plow relay but I bought a bunch of these a few months back and they work well. I have the system all stock with the ballast still...

    CUCV Snow Plow Trucks and Spreaders

    I was storing this NOS drivers door glass for 20 years. Decided it was time to use it up. I dug all the broken glass out of the sash and used the urethane caulk to glue the new glass back in. I clamped it and let it set for the weekend. Easy install tomorrow. Voodoo M1009 plow truck has over 20...

    Terminus M1009

    Just for curiosity I went out this morning and glowed Terminus M1009 while my new truck de-iced. I turned the switch on the wait came and went out. And it fired instantly. It was 28 F and I am still impressed with this unit. I never pulled the glow plugs since I rescued it from the crush pile...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Mission Acomplished Goal exceeded Well I done it. I had the frame pulled out and bare and tethered fast to the barn wall. In exactly 1 week after driving it in the shop. The axles, body and driveline are all stored and out of my way. I am onto another project. My Kubota tractor. I never owned a...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I guess it could but I doubt it does at the same speed. So I would say NO it just holds a steady pressure on the pump and gear to keep them all the way in the rear of the gear. In the rear with the gear.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    It just rides there in the end of the injection pump. Nothing holds it there but the cover and spring tension. May I suggest you change the front main seal while you have that torn down that far. Good Luck. Happy Holidays.

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    OK after taking a night off to go pick up another tractor I bought I am back and at it. I feel like I am kicking butt on this project. I drove this truck in the garage on the first Saturday December 2017. It was at 1PM. It is now just sitting with the axles in it. I must work in the AM. I have...

    CUCV Drink Holder Ideas?

    Yes with the open top Yeti magnetically attached you set you foam cup inside the Yeti and lift it out. See? That's a 30 OZ. You can use a 20. But the 30 olds a 52 OZ cup inside far enough.

    CUCV Drink Holder Ideas?

    I use the Yeti with the handle and hang it up on things in the plow truck. Works well. Modern vehicles do have nice cup holders. On the CUCV any adaption that works is approved for a cup holder. With an added magnetic base the Yeti will ride upside down.

    M series cup holder

    Or just make it fit your Yeti tumbler in the holder and it's nailed. Very nice magnetic cup holder gets my vote. I had a triangular mount system from the slow moving vehicle triangle and it held it that way. Easy and removable.

    Well blew another head gasket :(

    Did you have the heads checked at a machine shop? It is possible to have cracked / warped heads. I know you know that. I went thru 3 sets of heads I removed from perfect running engines till I got a good set. I am about to start the entire process over on my current build. I use Felpro head...

    CUCV Drink Holder Ideas?

    Use the fire extinguisher bracket and make one out of a light bracket. No damage to truck. Sets in the slot and remove it. I had one. Sold the truck. Was easy. Held 2 cups. Fire extinguisher still in place. Sat at rear of base.

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Back on task tonight after work. I wanted to remove the engine wiring harness. That was done easily. I removed the starter, fly wheel cover, bell bolts, alternators, fan, exhaust bolts/nuts, fly wheel/flex plate bolts, steering box, drained the transmission, and transfer case. Called it a night...

    Terminus M1009

    Yes. I stood on the frame and you can smell nothing but air coming out the tail pipe. Warm air. No scent at all. Amazing. Used to be when we drove a diesel in the shop it would smell the whole shop. No more they burn clean and odorless. So cool. Yes you do add DEF. Times change. If it works I am...

    Factory Isuzu exhaust. It was a $5K option. Cleanest burning diesel option. Odorless.

    Terminus M1009

    I am getting really tired of smelling diesel exhaust at my place. I think I will install a new exhaust system. I noticed when 10 of these new Isuzu chassis are running in the same row you smell nothing. That is awesome. 2 CUCV's and you die from fumes.. I think I will start by searching for a...
