I want to add. I rebuilt my pintle mounting on the back of my Mule M1009 and I replaced the draw bar and with a new bar 3/16" thick tube. I added 1/2" grade 8 bolts vs 7/16" stock. I welded a plate on the rear cross member and added 1/2" grade 8 bolts vs the 7/16" stock. I could do nothing to...

Interesting. So it actually got hot and burnt up. Is that heat from the delivery pressure in the popper of the nozzle?

I have had the experience with the weak M1009 pintle hook. Pulled my friend out of the mud and when the hitch left loose on the last pull this is what I found. He came driving out. The Bubba Rope held up well and the hitch fell about 10 feet from the back bumper. if that would have been a chain...

This was the flood in 2011. I was out with a few guys for 2 days running people groceries. after wards I serviced the entire truck and nothing was contaminated. It was my 1985 M1028.

That mount is overloaded empty. I have torn the entire assembly off 2 M1009's from using a bubba rope. I also swelled 2 and bent the bumper on a few using it to pull trailers. I am not very trusting of a stock M1009 pintle hook. It looks nice. It is held on by 4 3/8" bolts and 2 7/16" bolts that...

Do you see any condensation in the oil cap. And if you bring the idle up a bit doe the blow by go away? Good thing on the water in the intake. Don't take much to get the typewriter effect. Been there a few times. But if you have slight condensation in the oil cap. I would change the oil. If not...

How deep was the water. If it was only up to the frame. Over the hood ?? How did it stay running? were you sitting in water inside? I would not change the transmission fluid. I would just check all the fluids. I run it deep water all the time. If money is tight just keep everything in check. You...

I know I am going to get some haters here on this. I NEVER changed any delivery nozzles on any of my CUCV's ever. I had a few with leaks at seams and changed them with used delivery nozzles. I have changed many injection pumps. I have a local guy that deals with diesels all the time. He told me...

I used the Mule M1009 to drag the trailer frame out of the field/yard to the shop. I unloaded the cargo bed with my sky hooks and ratchet straps. Now I have this trailer frame to trip over again. I had some ideas rolling around as I wheeled the frame up by the wood pile. Some of them involved a...

Driven out of my barn bay under its own power and parked in another out building for a while so the cargo bed can be stripped sanded and sealed. I am getting the inside of the bed Line X ed up to the rails. I bled the brakes tonight and adjusted the rear brakes. I even bled thru the load sensing...

Agree. Get the batteries load tested. And as a rule I replace batteries in pairs. Do as you wish. that is my rule. The weaker battery will always feed off the stronger one.

I think it is hitting the rod to the shift linkage. Gently bend the aluminum lines away from the linkage.

Also have you changed the lift pump and the fuel tank sock? Do you have fuel flow up to the filter assembly?

At this point I would say injection pump. Do you need me to come up there and change it for you? I am sure we can work something out. Easy 4 hour job. I could do it quicker but M1010 has a few extra steps with the A/C and the big clumsy generators.

Good Job. I knew you could do it. If it were my project. I would go get 4 nice sharp 1/16" drill bits and drill the center out of that bolt. that will weaken it and you could possibly salvage that M8 1.25 threaded hole in the block. It is going to be a tough job. But with patience and letting...

The starter nose looks cracked in the picture. Down at 7 o'clock. Why the shim? I do not think you will here fuel returning. The fuel returns visa the return lines on the delivery nozzles. That fuel is the excess fuel that has been pushed my the pressure popping of the delivery nozzles. That's...

I clamped it and welded it as I went. I even bent the center piece that is below the headlamps. It had to match the original bend or I wasn't going to put it in. I used a press and bent it perfect.

That and the fact that the rest of the brush guard is made out of some good steel. That front piece is just a thin piece of flat bar with no support. You can strentghen it up by adding a pice of angle to the back side. i done this on a few. Makes a nice place to mount lights or just give that...

Looks like you are sticking with the TH400. Good choice. Very nice.

As a rule if you can't get them out without destroying them they were junk anyway. You need a blunt molding tool to get them out and a bit of patience. They are in there on a push lock clip. It can be compressed and removed with care. Remove the 2 outer seal cover at the top of the gate and go...
