Update, this project sold to someone that will be restoring it to restoring it to original condition a couple months ago

I'm not sure, I have not looked into it yet. to be honest I really am not fond of the light switch or the wireing, I may end up gutting it and going with LED lights with a standard 3 possition light switch. I have had nothing but truble with the lights on my M35

If it rains to hard i may not drive my 109, no wipers or weather stripping haha. . . or lights

If its ready by Saturday I will make it out to Brads But I dont think I will drive it out to Tumwater. my lights don't work yet so I need a chase vehicle (maybe my brother in my M35A2C) and Tumwater is 10miles the wrong way for me. I only need to make two right turns to get to Brads :driver...

Ok will do. the box is just a sheet metal cover that is open on the bottom. maybe to help keep the sand, heat, emp out?

This is what the inside looks like. I have been told it was some kind of forward command unit. there is a ton of cat-5 cable, computer stations, and a large server tower inside. I forget what it was called. EDIT: I have not gotten to the inside quite yet

I hope the truck can make it. I started it up today and it ran awesome but now I have to bleed the breaks again. Its going to be a busy week so im not sure I will have time, maybe Thur or Fri.

Im going to try and make it with the M109, if not I may drive my civy car to tumwater or even walmart

Worked in the M109 yesterday with Olywadan. Draind out all the bad fuel, cleaned the tank out, replaced all the fuel filters, replaced the turbo elbow. also picked up a small gen set about a month ago. I could not have done this with out my big helper (my daughter)

:deadhorse: Hahaha I cant have nice things remember? I spent to much time in the woods with it. . . then a tree landed on it. . .

Why not put a filter between the two? then you could put unfiltered oil in the aux tank and filter it as your going down the road. :beer:

Wait. . . THERE'S A CURE?!?!? I hope you dont get banned for speeking of such things haha. No I'm still around, after I get the M109 up and running I'm going to pull it in the shop and start getting it ready for camping this spring. Progress will be slow for the next month or so, I got...

I orderd all new filters and a new turbo elbow pipe (EXHAUST), it had a fist sized hole in it. I'm hoping the turbo is'nt shot, the hole is close enough to the exhaust turbine for it to get a blast of cold air. the parts should be here on Thursday. I will post pics when the parts come in

I picked up my M109A3 from Fort Lewis with Scott today, It was a pretty fun recovery. We jumped the truck and it fired right up, spent about 2 hours getting the brakes working with a little help (Thanks Mike!), aired up the tires and we hit the road. We made it about 3 miles (trying to get...

If you are able to get it re-soldered have you considered mounting an external transmission cooler? maybe a engine oil cooler? it will also help the life of your transmission, it sounds like your transmission got really hot going up the steep hills. 2cents
