    Terminus M1009

    I added a few lights to the B/O circuit. The blue light is a safety light. It is on whenever the key is on. The amber LED lights are clearance lamps. I did not make it around back to work on the rear B/O lamps. maybe tomorrow. I messed with the inoperable horn and got frustrated and quit for the...

    Terminus M1009

    I did this a little bass ackwards but I want to paint the very rear cargo area of Terminus M1009. If you look back in the beginning of this build. This M1009 was a test dummy vehicle. I wanted to see if I was going to enjoy wheeling it. Well I like it so now I want to make it nice and sell it...

    M1008 brake master cylinder

    I Imagine that. I found out I needed to know a code for the master cylinder when I went to NAPA. I never needed one at Autozone. I think all they ask was with DRW or SRW or hydro boost or not. But I see Easter Find m1008 will take a TAG 1925 if I am reading this correctly. I also wanted to ask...

    Spectra CU850 radiator is a three core, not four :(

    Probably getting a bit thin at the seams. That seems to be going around at this age of the core. I have different types of radiators from the new OEM to the Spectra. I like the plastic aluminum over the copper brass. They seem to hold up well. Time will tell. They are warranted for life. That's...

    Broken starter bolt

    You do not need carbide bits on a starter bolt. You just need a good sharp quality bit and you need to let the drill bit do the drilling. Pushing harder does not make a dull bit drill any faster. It breaks bits. Drill bits have a short life span when you drill thru rust and uneven pressure and...

    Terminus M1009

    That is correct. And I am back to work at my regular job today again. It was a group effort. 1 guy DA sanding, 1 guy edge sanding, another guy blowing off and taping up, I was on the underside doing fluid fills and double triple checking everything. I thank my Family and Friends for all the...

    Broken starter bolt

    Thats fine if you have a gear reduction starter. If you have a direct drive the bracket for the direct drive can be cut and used both ways. Good Luck. I was not trying to make a sale. I have them if you need them. If not all is well. Thank you.

    How to bench test a fuel gauge?

    I agree with Mg84648. If it were mine I would remove the fuel tank. On the M1009 that can be a challenge. But it is not an expensive repair if you need any parts for the sending unit or the dash gauge. I have a gauge in my Mule M1009 that goes to 3 o'clock when I fill it up. And then it runs low...

    Terminus M1009

    This was a challenge. It was a field repaint done outside in the open air on a vehicle that was pressure washed sanded, sealed and ready to paint at the same spot it has been sitting for 2 months. Waterborne CARC 686 TAN. Expired outdated paint. I used a squirrel cage rotary spinner on my...

    Terminus M1009

    Sanding is a very long out boring job. After it was all sanded I took a scuff pad and went around the entire truck and scuffed all the edges and looked for peeling paint and rough edges. My Son helped me and a neighbor. We had the truck sanded and taped up by about 4PM. I mixed up the sealer and...

    Terminus M1009

    I started out early this AM with my Yeti full of coffee and a mind to get old Terminus M1009 cleaned up and ready for an adventure. It is a beautiful day. I must get cracking. Oh yea. I also bought a rear glass at the YOUPULLIT. I have a brand new one and a 1990 factory dot matrix tinted one...

    Easter find M1008 2015

    I bought the door at a local sale for $25. I wanted the Studebaker truck tail gate they had but it seemed like they held off selling that till I left. I heard it brought $100. I would have paid that. But who knows where guy that paid $100. would have stopped at? I like the old door. It is rough...

    Easter find M1008 2015

    Just like that an empty swept shop. The entire remount of the cab took about 1/2 an hour. My Wife was summoned to operate the controls on the wrecker. I spent more time today playing with the wonderful A C Delco oil cooler lines ten I did mounting the cab. I did some fancy talking while I...
