    Leveling M1101 Trailer to M1009 CUCV

    Almost sounds like rusted drums and/or hardware. Most likely bad wheel cylinders or master cylinder or both. Did you have the drums turned? What did the shoes look like? Did you flush system and replace with new fluid? What did old fluid look like? Parking brake cable causing interference...

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

    I watched the GP Europe auction and they were almost giving them away. $150/$200 They had a boatload too. A few looked brand new. Of course you had to go to Germany to get it.

    2 HEMTTS slipped through the cracks today and were sold at auction

    I was bidding on the M1009 until it went above what I wanted to pay. Yea, someone got a great deal. The sold prices suggest that they were both bought by same person.

    What is it and why did it smoke.

    A look in the TMs, provided for free on this site, will answer a lot of questions, including that one. Reading the old posts will answer a lot more. You will find the search feature somewhat helpful. At least a direction to go look.

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

    Yes they are still selling CUCVs on occasion. Yep. His win was the trailer. Watch the auctions. Those go from anywhere from $500 to $1200+ depending on condition and location.

    2 HEMTTS slipped through the cracks today and were sold at auction

    Yes they were rough but they were available! One was running and driving. The other was not. New paint can work wonders. Only 300+ of them in civilian hands. Add two more

    Need feedback from more experienced people with MV ownership

    The M925A2 would be a great MV choice. I love mine!! You do not want dual wheel anything in mud. The super singles work wonders. But.......get that sucker stuck in a remote place like your talking about and it will take a dozer to get it out. Yes they can get stuck. A winch and snatch block...

    NH MV Titling: wish me luck :(

    Regardless. Both of mine, BMY/HARSCO, have frames stamped. Other threads show this is nothing new for these.

    Protect the Oak. M989A1

    I knew what you meant! Even offered it to the local VFD for free. Recommended install of one big or two small water tanks. They have a water truck (exMilitary) that can handle it. They kinda were like "well we would have to drain it in the winter time". So much for trying to help my...

    Protect the Oak. M989A1

    Yes, they are heavy! Another 10 pounds won't hurt. I bought it to resale. Everyone wants it but they don't want to pay for it. No takers so I'm keeping it. That's the reason for saving the floor. I will haul hay with it for now. Also thinking about getting a S280 shelter and rigging up...

    Protect the Oak. M989A1

    M989A1 has a great oak floor. No rot, but the CARC was starting to go. So yesterday I used an air hose with attachment to blow all the dirt and rocks from between the boards. Today I used 9 tubes of paintable caulk to seal all the seams and screw heads. Seemed to take forever. Then...

    M989A1 HEMAT Trailer Question (Modification)

    Welcome to the site. The box beam runs the entire length of the wheelbase. I don't think you could modify it without making it much weaker. And to get the strength back you would have to use a lot of extra Steel and the thing is already heavy enough. Ive seen a side dump option. Not for...

    Auto Transmission will not go into any gear

    Would the transmission supports that are missing on the CUCVs prevented this?

    LED Gauge Panel Backlighting Upgrade

    Wow Whatever You proved my point. Wasnt telling anyone what to do. Just another option. You want to wait and go through SD. That's fine I could care less I went with option two. Had all installed in 20 minutes after hardware store trip. The OP had a great idea and I thank him for...

    Adding a tach?

    He has a tach. Try ISSPRO for the sensor. I know they have one for the harmonic balancer. Not sure about the flywheel sensor.
