You know it took me all these years to figure out WTF you were referring to. The Yeti rambler. My always faithful side kick. 1/2 gallon of coffee for $1.58 every Saturday and Sunday at Loves truck stop.
There is more to rebuilding starters and alternators then throwing a few parts from a kit into them. I think that is why people always have problems with things like this. They want to just replace a few items and ignore the major components that require expensive electrical equipment for...
I am on the other side of the country but I get this guy to rebuild all of my electrical stuff and he does a great job and affordable. You can get a self exciting voltage regulator installed then the idiot light don't have to work but the gauge will be your only option to know it is charging...
No need to drop the transmission. It is a fairly straight forward job. I have done many laying on my back in the shade outside. I have done less with the use of a lift and modern shop tools. Outside on the ground is the easiest way I know and I can goal myself on the job to stay fresh and on...
I wanted to ring this topic up again on the frame bushings. I had a guy stop by with his M1028 and they were gone on the right side. That explained the rattle he had. If you never changed yours I recommend doing it soon. It will destroy the frame bracket. that can be replaced but it is easier to...
I just seen Terminus M1009 in a field pulling an trailer. If it wasn't Terminus it was a twin and in the same 10 mile radius of the guy I sold it to. This is what came to mind when I seen it. 2 side by sides were in the field with it. They were running flat out. I had the high ground from I 78...
Yesterday I sprayed down the entire M1009 Crown of Thorns and used a 3M white scratch pad to wash and scrub the entire truck. I am putting it up for sale and moving on to another project. Looked really good after all that old dead oxidized paint was washed off. Great truck and great memories...
My goal is to be CUCVSWASUS.
I just received an excellent idea for a new user name. Kubotasrus. I like it. 1 door closes and another door opens. Have a Great Day.
Sold another one of my toys yesterday. Guy came from Vero Beach Florida and picked it up. Hated to see it go but I only have so many hours in a day and keeping it cleaned and stored was a PITA. Always afraid of damaging it. It went south as soon as the temp tag was attached. Bon Voyage. Still...
The Good The Bad and The Ugly. The Bad is the only one that remains with me. Still For Sale but still working. The Mule M1009 beforeThe Mule M1009 after being returned to a stock M1009Terminus M1009 sitting pretty waiting for its next thrashing. Never came. Easter Find M1008 in the final stages...
Busy weekend I had to beat the rain. I received this load of logs from a lot they were clearing at the truck plant. I cut some in to fire wood length and had some hauled in any length that was there. I needed the trailer to run up I 78 and get some top soil for Free from a warehouse construction...
Cool idea. Wonder why I never thought of that? Found this picture on Facebook and stole it. But this is one of my up coming projects. I savaged the 1974 K5 to do this to my hidden M1009. I seen the picture and wanted to share. Donor A pillar. I seen M1007 Suburbans posted here. If I do post will...
After a 10 hour day at my regular job I took full advantage of the wonderful warm weather. I hauled a load of wood home and cleaned up a job I was procrastinating on. It is all done now. It had a slight shimmy at 60 MPH but all is well. Short trip and a hop skip and jump on and off I 78. I had...
Today as I was cleaning out Terminus M1009 of all it's off road equipment I came across a glow plug solenoid that I wanted to install a few years back because I had a situation only one time that Terminus M1009 would not start when cold. I jumped across the solenoid and it fired right up. The...
Today I was out in the yard cleaning up the wood knuckles from the log splitter area. A roll back came backing down the driveway. A man got out and shouted over to me. That he came for the Blazer. Is it still For Sale? I was puzzled. He said I was sent here by a guy to pay you and pick up the...
I pulled Terminus M1009 off the roadside so I can get some work done. It was a magnet for needy people. I may be doing some updates to Terminus M1009 and repurposing it. Stay Tuned for the next season. Terminus M1009 goes to rework. Coming soon to this channel.
After a full day of work at my regular job I went and worked my irregular job. I am cleaning up a few areas on the property that has blocks and stone on piles. I did find a nice cable that had some nice thimbles on it. I can tell by looking at it that it was a military cable. Close to Indiantown...
