    m109a3 sell whole, part it out, or sell for scrap?

    I'm thinking that if I didn't want to take the time to put another engine in it I wouldn't want to spend the time pulling parts off of it to sell. I'd sell it whole.

    Yet another M38A1 in my sights

    If you are gonna return it to 24v you probably better figure on buying a wiring harness in your future. Chances are it probably would need it even if it hadn't been changed over.

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    Thanks! No trouble with bleed through. I had read that about the chalk but I didn't have any. I like the tight fade vs. a wider fade or a taped line.

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    As far as my gun goes, the paint is too atomized, ie: the spray fan is wide and hard to focus. Usually that is a good thing because I'm typically shooting lacquer and you want it to blend so you need a lot of overlap. If you have a detail gun that would probably work great. I laid out the...

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    I second the Resilience endorsement. It is not as cheap as the Behr, but cheap paint in my mind is not always a wise option. You will have a hard time trying to "scuff" CARC, and its not necessary. Clean off the dirt and grease and if the paint is tight, go right over it. Unfortunately, SW...

    noob in Eustis FL

    Welcome and sorry about the accident. I'm up in St. Augustine, but there are a number of members down in your area. There is a Florida members map that is being updated with screen names, locations etc. Should pop up if you search for it.

    Just got a M38A1!

    What is the year/delivery date? There used to be a M38A1 registry where you could log in your s/n etc. but last time I checked the site was down.

    Made a mistake

    Make sure the tank is level or you could end up with a pocket of junk on the the downhill side.

    1942 indian 741 joins the family

    I have an older mentor who will be 95 in November. When he went in '42 to go to join the war effort he left his Indian with a friend. After glider landing in France, a pack artillery mule outfit in the Italian Alps, and a Studebaker weasel amphibious assault in the Aleutian islands he returned...

    Towing m353 w/o air brakes?

    I picked up two 353's (stacked one on the other) from MacDill in December and drove them home with a 3/4 ton Dodge to St. Aug. I hope your schedule is flexible, because the GL rep is only at the site like one day every other week. Another guy picked up one with a Jeep cherokee. He had a...

    Neighborhood problems? Hide your deuce.

    There is some tension on the chain the way I have it locked so it doesn't rattle. While I had the can holder off for painting I put the chain on with a carriage bolt from the can side and peened the nut on so it couldn't be removed. This way the can is secure and the lid can't be removed.

    Neighborhood problems? Hide your deuce.

    Here's what I did to keep the neighbors happy. Funny thing is, I've had 5 people ask me where my truck is, two of whom are friends who walked down the sidewalk into the house. I've had no problems with complaints and we don't have a HOA. The shot of the jerry can is to show how I have it...

    My first Deuce

    Bazyrkyr, When are you coming to N. Florida to get your 109 and who did you get it from. I'm in St. Augustine, which is just south of Jacksonville. I've had mine since Jan. and love it.

    Front main seal??? Bad Leak!!!

    I think my first step would be to clean everything off, check the oil level, and look for the leak with the engine running.

    Michelin 11.00x20 tire pressure

    My 109 came with 11.00 x 20 Michelin XL's and the sidewall says to inflate them to max 115 psi. Since I will not be running the truck at neat the max load rating, I thought I would drop them back to 90 psi. I see where others are running them at 75 or even 60 psi. Anybody with long term use...

    BFR Metals, Salina Kansas, a Goodie Hole

    Scrounge has been my nickname since high school (i'm now 52). My XL's show to inflate to 115 psi and I have 90 in mine. I was wondering what everybody else is running in theirs. I think I'll go start a thread on that one.

    BFR Metals, Salina Kansas, a Goodie Hole

    I wish I had a playground like that near me. Three of those 5 tons trailers just sold on GL out of Jax. Fl at $2,200 each. Would liked to have one but not at that money.

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Went out and took one. Just hold it in place with one hand and shoot with the gun in the other.
