This will be a hoot, cucvrus. You might end up with one of these when you're all done catching up repairs:Today I worked on CUCV's and the HMMWV for 11 hours straight. I was out in the rain changing the spring bushings on Terminus M1009. I am safe to say that most of the CUCV's I see need to have the rubber bushings replaced. As I was working underside I noticed the broken spring on the transmission shift bell crank. Time to do some repairs and maintenance. Also time for a little sand and paint. My new rule is if the part disconnect from the vehicle it will get sanded and painted. I have many colors and want to use them up vs throw them out. I went to the hardware store. Total cost of the replacement spring $1.47
I love the smell of contaminated gear oil.Still NO shackle bushings. I looked under Terminus M1009 and decided to change the front differential oil. It was slightly contaminated and I thought why not just change it. I installed the transmission bell crank linkage and greased the cup on the frame. I refilled the radiator with new coolant after I changed all the hoses 2 weeks back. I ordered a set of spring shackle bushings from Summit today. It's a race. Autozone and Summit. Autozone has a 10 day head start.View attachment 624941

I never noticed until this pic how short the bed is on our truck, cucvrus (you can' t really tell from your avatar because of the angle).I have finished my long drawn out front end /spring bushing rebuild on Terminus M1009. getting the pressure washer out this weekend. View attachment 625196
That there is Gen-YOO-Whine Redneck to have a fishing VEE-hickle, and fish from the back of the bed.Very reliable vehicle. Best fishing vehicle I ever owed. I could back in the river on the boat dock and fish from the bed. Mega fun.
