Thanks, I'll check them this morning.

Had a Gen 1 light come on last week as I was finishing plowing snow. It warmed up enough to check it out today. After reading several posts and checking several things, I finally figured out that it was a blown heater fuse. Not sure what caused the fuse to blow, but it appears to be working...

Finally got my starter back from the rebuilder and installed it. Fired right up. Been too cold to do much with the cobbled up wires to the starter, so I did a couple of temporary repairs and will do a better fix when it warms up. Snowed last night so I was glad that I got it running again...

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Not changing the way it's wired, just replacing some of the wires that have been spliced several times. The wire from the firewall to the starter has 4 splices in it!

I thought it looked home made, but it is tight. I will use it for now, but may look for the correct one. Is the original bracket specific to the CUCV, or could I find one on a diesel pickup? Starter tested OK, but I'm going to have them open it up and freshen it up while it is out since it...

Ok, I'll lokfor new bolts. Got the starter off this morning (what a pain in the backside, my fat hands don't fit in those tight spaces), taking it to the shop to have it tested. Looking at the support bracket and wondering if this the correct one or something someone cobbled together.

Are the starter bolts special bolts or something that is availible locally?

Thanks for the reply. I tested the relay and it seems to be working fine, guess I will drop the starter and check it out. The wires that I mentioned that had been spliced on the engine side of the firewall were purple, not pink, looked at them again this morning without the sun shining on them.

Went to start the 1009 yesterday and just got a click. Charged the batteries, didn't seem to help. Found a loose connection on one of the batteries and tightened it up, still no luck. Found a crappy crimp fix a PO did on a large pink wire coming out of the fuse box that looks like it goes to...

Thank you Marcus!

I guess I didn't realize there were so many ways that plows mount. This diagram is a plow similar to mine, the pins are parts 16 http://www.equipmentspecialistsinc.com/cms-display/meyer_parts_classic_c.html I like the idea of using springs to keep tension on the spring clips.

Thanks for the reply. I am not sure how to post pics. The pins I am referring to are the 2 pins that attach the plow assembly to the plow frame on the truck (at the end of the A frame). I am running an old Meyers plow. I have tried all kinds of pins, actual Myers pins, hitch pins from...

Was out plowing yesterday with the M1009 and lost a hinge pin on the plow which caused me to bend the plows A frame mount. Hopefully I can find a hinge bar in town and fix it today so I can finish plowing. Got 13" Saturday and with the high winds, a lot of drifts. CUCVRUS, I know you have a...

Never thought about a bench. It's my plow truck and I rarely have a passenger, so rear passengers wouldn't be a problem, been thinking about taking out the rear seat anyways. I've looked at several different GM seats in the PAP and nothing looks like the same shape. I guess I will dismantle...

I hate driving with a seat reclined, never could figure out the guys that drive like that on purpose. I figure the seat frame slowly got bent over the years from people bouncing around while off road. My other K5 doesn't seem to have the problem. The left side of the drivers seat seems like...

Trying to figure out how to fix the drivers seat in my M1009, it's leaning back and twisted towards the right. I'm guessing this is a pretty common problem. Was thinking about taking it apart and trying to straighten out the back frame. Any suggestions?

Started mounting a snowplow that I took off of my 1980 K20. Now I know why shops charge so much to swap plows, what a pain in the backside! Hope to finish up this weekend.
