M1008 - first drive

[warwick]

The front battery was dead and the back was low...charged them and they held a good charge

while the bats were charging i had a chance to look over my GL M1008, everything is where it should be and in good shape. I put the bats back in fri afternoon, two tries nothin....

third try rrrrVAROOOOM... rattle,rattle,rattle,rattle.....

I live out in the country so i went for a shake down run on some back roads....runs good no problems except for the GL bent rear drive shaft

as soon as I get my SF-97 and have my drive shaft retubed it should be good to go

thanks to SS , between the cucv manuals and a quick search I was able to answer most of my questions

I seriously got lucky! I put in a new rear battery, fired mine up, drove it on the trailer, and the rear driveshaft was straight!


Cool beans on the new truck! No matter how many time you drive it, it'll still make you grin!

Mine sure did! Even tho I had to retube the driveshaft and need to replace the tranny to TC adapter. The second looks as you drive are a real hoot! And I can already bet that directions around here will be given using "you know the guy with the Army truck" in them!

With Choll's 3 M1009's, my M1009, and the two fire truck M1008, and M1028, the locals already refer to my place as the Van Buren Township Army base. LOL.
