Thanks Warthog. I got that. Just a tight space, and jammed up pretty good. Appreciate all the help. You guys rock.

Yes, looks like that's it. Thank you. No pic needed. Just have to figure out how to get the plug off. :-)

THanks Doghead, I did see those, but they mention the radiator petcock, but I'm having trouble finding it. I did something that looks like it could be it on the lower part of the radiator drivers side, but could not see how to open it, or recover the fluid as the wheel well is right below it...

Hey guys. I'm working on installing a block heater on my M1009, but am having trouble seeing where/how to drain the coolant (in a manor where I can recover it) I've searched, and found a few posts on installing the heater, but no luck on seeing how to drain coolant. Any help, especially...

Where would this button be if it was installed? Thanks.

That's what I thought when looking at the catalog. Thanks for the confirmation. looking at the area I will definitely need to rebuild it.

I appreciate that... 179 is shows how the hinge attaches to the gate, but really doesn't help with how it attaches to the truck.

My new 84-09's tailgate hinge and rear tail pan is in rough shape. It looks like it rusted off whatever it was connected to underneath the bed. Could someone point me to, or provide a photo of what it SHOULD look like? Much appreciated.

I think the floor pans / rockers first... My 4 year old is enamored by the truck, and want's to ride in it, I want to get it as tetanus-free as possible. I'm wrestling with whether to do a FATMAT on the floor, bed lining, or something else... From there, I'm not sure... Will want to tackle...

WAY ahead of you. :-) I've got time, patience, and good problem solving. I'm going to give it a shot. If I get in over my head, I've got people, but I take a certain amount of pride looking at a finished project, hoisting a beer with my cut, scraped, and bruised hands and saying "I did that"...

Got it today, mixed feelings of joy, and a little concern. First off, the engine condition is phenomenal. Obviously well cared for. When I checked the oil, it was near perfectly clear. Pbby didn't need the change, but I did it anyway. Tranny fluid perfectly clear. The fuel filter looked...

Getting it on Wednesday. I'll let you know and post pics.

Picked up a Hobart 140, looks spanking new, came with everything, ready to weld (including a tank 1/2 full of 75/25) $375. Happy as a clam!

Bump on this question, as informative as the CO2 discussion is... I'd like to know. :-)

Spotted a Craftsman 20511/Century 125GS for $200 locally. Barely used. Id that a good deal? Not seeing much on it online, but I've heard century is good stuff. 135 amp, Looks like it handles gas and .24 and .30 wire.

That is VERY good to know... I have a 35# cylinder leftover from my paintball days, and a few 20#ers I use for homebrewing.

Thanks for the replies so far. LOL at the Horror Freight welder Tyler. I'm glad you had good luck with it, its definitely something to consider. My general rule with HF is to not buy anything with moving parts, but your positive experience is helpful. I plan on using gas, I just want to make...

Hey all, I'm looking for something to get me started on some body welding projects for the new M1009. I've done a fair amount of stick welding, and want to purchase a MIG unit. Needs to be 110/120, and gas/flux. My budget is about $300, could push to $400 if really needed. Been keeping an...
