Maybe because it was never run. Just a thought. Not sure. Maybe. Seems logical. maybe bolt a starter on it and see what I can do. Maybe even a flywheel would help get some leverage.
Last night I made a good deal of progress. Not huge but I did manage to get the front bumper and brush guard back on the M1008. I bought new Stainless 1/2" carriage bolts and a box of 1/2" serrated flange nuts. Made putting the bumper and brush guard on a breeze. Finger tight till the end. Then...
I think I will just put it out for sale while it still runs so well and let someone else mess with it or use it. I have a few more CUCV's that I have to get working on. I will have to come up with another project to amuse myself. This one has sort of played itself out. I still have a nice...
OK I triggered this conversation. At what point do I say the engine is scrap. It has sat for 5 years and been untouched. It has a 7/16" bolt in the front and is locked up tight. I think I will just scrap it for parts. If anyone needs a set of small block heads. I could have used the engine...

Anyone believe this about adding Seafoam to the crank case? Terminus seems to have a flickering oil light. Engine sounds ok no knocking but it does have a few taps to it. I can't tell the difference. It does have clean oil all the time and it does not seem to use...
Our get a big enough boat and use it for an anchor. Or like me let it sit on the engine stand because it looks so pretty. It also takes up shop space that you always need.
Broke the screw off in the hole. Most times the hole is to big for the screw. Easy fix. #8 x 5/8" oval head screw is the stock screw. Fits nice. A bit tight. But I added the 12 gauge metal on the top of the gate.Brush seal and rubber seal to protect the glass edge.Yellow reflective tape to make...
After using the Crown of Thorns m1009 I decided today it needed to be cleaned out. Heck I found 2014 Uncle Henry's in it from when I was up in Maine. I also wanted to show how well the rear gate held up since I rebuilt it and had it Line Xed in 2010. i also remembered that I never installed the...
I cut pieces out of the upper roof center section. Center section is flat. Used a adhesive and filled the area and sanded it smooth. I was not taking pictures while I done it. Nice thing is it still attaches with the flange bolts and 2 of the side rail bolts. Maybe I can get a few pictures of...
They are very strong. I carried them by the roof to the crusher. Not CUCV M1009 but civilian K 5 blazers that were junked. One of my joys was to carry 2 vehicles at a time the full length of the yard. One on each fork. Most American made cars could do it. But the imports opened up like tin cans...
I have found no oil filter that this Snap-On set up could not remove. It has a 1/2' square drive on one end and a 3/8" square drive on the other end. Equal pressure and a death grip. I bought it and use it to change fuel filters on outside fuel pumps. I have used it on a few engine oil filters...
This picture and this one of Terminus M1009 always go together. Anyone else see the resemblance? Led Zeppelin IV. So in Rome this as a CUCV MMIX = CUCV M1009.
I hope these help you see how I made the rear closure. Cool thing was I rolled the rear window up first day of spring and rolled it back down first day of winter. I could remove the whole closure canvas in less then 5 minutes. But it would rain in on you in hard down pours. This way with the...
Just standard mud holes in the woods on the trails. Some were stagnated and smelled of sewage. I cut a tire on the side wall at every place I had stones. So that pretty much done it in. everywhere. The HMMWV ride wa great. Very capable machine. And I did get to help 2 of the ladies in the...
