I was going through batteries and or alternators like crazy, not an idea, I was.

It has been hard on alternators, starters, and batteries. I even had to have 1 of the starter bolts helicoiled so it could be bolted on because the hole was wallowed out and stripped. It actually seemed to hold, even though the mechanic said he'd never heard of such a thing.

I have put 4 batteries in it, and had the alternators rebuilt once and replaced once.

I appreciate all the good advice. Ill try to figure it out. Or as I have been told, get rid of it. Thanks for that tidbit as well. solid advice there. Yall have fun, take care.

I have 1985 M1009 with a 24v system. I had to replace both alternators and am having an issue hooking up my batteries. I have seen all the drawing and schematics, I need a red neck down and dirty back positive goes to..... Back negative goes to.... That type of lay out. Thank you.

I will work on posting some photos, thank you.

I have a 1985 M1009 with a partial bracket for a snow plow(no control except lights). I bought it at a Fleet Resale a little over 4 1/2 years ago. Since I bought it, I have put way more money into it, more than I paid for it. I have had to get the floor completely rebuilt, transmission rebuilt...

Good Point Marcus Thanks.

Thank you.

I have a 1985 M1009. I plan to put a new dash cover on in the near future. While I have the dash cover off, I want to inspect and clean the connections and wiring for the dash and I will also be replacing the radiator core. Just because I will already be in the dash, kill 2 birds with one stone...
