    Oil filter line routing

    Okay, I see that the oil filter fills with oil and the overflow goes out the side of the filter and down to the timing gear cover, but where does the oil line come from? I'm working on another person's project and the oil filter line was missing.

    Oversized pistons and ring end gap

    I am in the process of tearing down a F series engine and have a few questions. First according to the specs, the bore is 3.125" and when I measure the bore it is indeed 3.125" and there is practically no ridge. Should come out with a little honing. But something doesn't quite pan out. The...

    Found an old Motors Manual

    I just came across a treasure trove of old Willys information in a 1959 Motors Manual that used to belong to my father-in-law. It has torque values for the heads, main and rod bearings and a bunch of other specs. Would it be a copyright infringement if I copied the pages and put them in a pdf...

    Alt2 was charging and is now not.

    Okay, Alt 1 was not charging and troubleshot it to a burned out Alt 1 light. Took out instrument cluster and cleaned all the contacts and checked all the bulbs. The voltmeter wasn't working or connected and the needle was way off scale so I connected it while I was putting the dash back...

    Did anyone here win this auction? M1089A1 6X6 Wrecker

    https://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?fa=Main.Item&acctid=3685&itemid=194 I think it went for a good price, too. It's only a few miles from me and I would be glad to offer my place as a spot to prep the truck for recovery.

    Free to good home

    A BUNCH of 9.00 x 20 DT tires mounted on deuce rims. I have no use for them and they need to go. There are 17 of them that will sit there and rot so I may as well give them away. You have to come and pick up as few or as many as you want. Some have decent tread, some are flat. PM me and make...

    Deals for someone who is going to the GA Rally.

    I have a bunch of parts of a parted out deuce that I need to sell so here is the deal: You come to my house and pick them up and then you can keep half of all the money you get for them. I have a starter, alternator, master cylinder, air pack, fuel tank and brackets, about 15 mounted 900X20...

    Here is a trick to extend the life of an old battery.

    Like many of you, I have bought MVs from GL and GSA with weak or dead batteries. For a battery that won't take a charge at all, there is little you can do. But if the battery is weak and just won't hold a deep charge, there is a little trick you can try. Go to any grocery store or drug store...

    Vehicle Machine Gun Ring mounts

    I have a source for ring mounts that were originally for an MG-42. I don't know how many I can get, but the price will be $600 each plus shipping. I'll get some pics today of one not mounted and post them. The rings look to be about 30" across. Let me know if you are interested.

    Did anyone here get the HMMWV from Govdeals?

    Vehicle was fairly complete except for engine. Definitely rebuildable. I bid up to $3800 and it went for $4600.

    Converting M1009 front differential to Pos--trac style

    So, I'm looking to replace the open differential in the front axle of my M1009 with a limited slip differential and have a few questions. Seems to be a fairly cheap mod with used diffs going for $100 or so. First, how many splines does the front axle shaft have? Second, can I reuse the stock...

    M1009, it's alive! Hahahahaha!

    Bought an M1009 from GSA sight unseen. Missing fuel filter and base, glow plugs solenoid, starter, PS pump, one alternator, batteries, and radiator. Oh, and dash pad. Luckily, I had stripped all the parts except for batteries from an M1008 I had parted out (people will pay a LOT of money just...

    Treating old diesel fuel

    This really isn't a CUCV specific question, but since the old fuel is in an M1009, this is as good a place as any to ask. A google search revealed that diesel can degrade and grow algae, both of which can degrade and cause problems. My question is this, is there a product that can be added to...

    And the wife rolls her eyes again.

    Just won TWO M1009's from GSA. Got a great price for them, too, one for $405 and the other for $602. The wife just rolled her eyes and said, "Oh, goody." Funny thing is that she didn't sound all that excited. Hmmm, I'll have to think about that.
