I got the battery boxes painted with POR-15, 2 new batteries, some new cables and some cable repairs (there were some terminals that were poorly replaced over the years), and started the vehicle for the first time in a couple years. It fired right up. I replaced one broken LED blackout marker and also installed an LED Blackout headlight to replace the old plastic one. A quick light check and those were the only two lights working. John Deere wants $135 a marker light....I traced them to the CUCV and got some from ebay for a whopping $8 each.
Anyway, lots of parts ordered including seats, a missing motor mount isolator, front tires, switches, and a few other things. My fenders and clutch are in at the border so may head down tomorrow to get them. I still have to find 4 rear tires for it....the original P-tracker tires are not made anymore by GoodYear. Titan resumed production of them for a bit, but they seem to have stopped now as well. I am trying to avoid the chinese tires.
This is going to be a fun little vehicle.
