Howdy all! Been some time since I've been able to visit or mess with my MV's but finally glad to get back on here. I'm starting a bit of a fun project in dressing out an '84 VW Jetta as a Bundeswehr or Luftwaffe auxiliary vehicle and am trying to find the correct code or description for the...
Been a while but I'm finally back to working on my M1028 that got rolled while in transport on a trailer, crushing the cab. I picked up an '86 Silverado parts truck some time ago, good straight 1/2 ton 2WD with no drivetrain, as a donor. So, having never performed a cab swap before I'd...
Okay, search didn't yield much for me on this particular scenario although I'd bet a few here have either encountered it personally or no of someone who has: I'm interested in a CUCV that was purchased through GL but the buyer didn't get SF97 and/or title, also no EUC for what it's worth. My...
Spent about an hour with search looking for a parts source and wasn't successful, so early apologies if there are threads on this. Basically, took the deuce down the road to top off the newly sandblasted and repainted fuel tank when I lost the brakes on the way back. The front line went out...
The search function again hasn't proven very fruitful for this one: In flushing/bleeding the brake system today I found the steel line to the rear axle was leaking just above the spare tire. Looks like right at the frame clamp, likely a combination of corrosion and wear. So, anyone know the...
Posted in another thread but no response and search hasn't yet yielded this info, so here goes: Does anyone know the fitting size on the rubber brake hoses? I'd rather ask before removing a hose just to play with the pitch gauge! :wink: Thanks!
Can anyone identify the winch pictured and perhaps provide specs? I'm helping a friend with a high-speed tractor and it's being given to me but I need to know more about it before removing and finding a use for it. It's a big sucker! Thanks!
Picked up an M35 recently in trade for stereo system I wasn't using anymore. It had sat outside for about the past 9 years and looks pretty sad, but after towing home with our Mack CS250 and tinkering with the IP it roared to life. Oh, the fuel pump was shot so I made a simple pick-up using...
Okay, been working the last several weekends to bring home a deuce I recently traded for. Classic "ran when parked" nine and a half years ago, although I remember when my friend bought it from GSA and he drove it around quite a bit before parking. It has the White multi-fuel turbo engine and...
Well, I got my towbar fabbed up Thursday after work and then drove up to Stockbridge after work Friday to get the wayward CUCV. After a good nights rest went over to the body shop and hooked everything up for the long tow home, which ended up taking a little over 12 hours to cover about 450...
My recent M1028 acquisition came to an untimely demise a couple weeks ago on I-75 south of Atlanta:
Insurance totalled it out Friday and I ended up buying it back as salvage, which means I need to go get it. Again. This time, however, I'm going to pull it 4-down rather than on a trailer...
New to this great site and also new CUCV owner. I've looked through SEARCH and really couldn't find the answer to my question, which is has anyone fabbed up adapters for a commercial towbar to fit a CUCV? I've been without much luck locating the correct military towbar and need to transport my...
