I also did a Motor Pool (give or take) level of refurb from a well used Gov Liq M109 I got going this year. I used: Gillespie 24087 Semi Gloss OD from Rapco Parts, I purchased 4 gallons, used a little over 3 gallons - but had a bit of rustoleum primer under it. I thinned using mineral spirits...

I agree, Kublos are great to deal with. Kenny will help you pick out a truck on the lot based on what you want (winch, hard top, dump, whatever) and go over it. I was there a few weeks ago and he had many trucks to look at. Just about any flavor, with any type of tires, beds, etc. It may or...

I got my old transfer case out and new transfer case in tonite. It took about 3 hours with 2 friends to complete and get things back in and together. In prep though, I took out the passenger seat, access panel and removed the universal joiunt nuts and bolts, lever linkage pin/bolt, and...

I like to run a mix of diesel and clean oil from recovered transformers (Late Mfr) Its a very thin colorless mineral oil in the units I get - so clean it looks like a bucket of water. Also have used recovered hydraulic oil. I see the advantage of these oils versus WMO is they are not run at...

Check ebay - thats where I got mine.

This is quite true. I paid more for my first two deuces as they were runners and needed very little. I later got a bargain deuce for parts, but it actually started when batts were added and ran well and I ended up spending about the same getting all the" little" things for it to get it road...

I have a non-turbo and its not too bad on power (until transfer case went - but that will be fixed soon) Anyways, I will say that the non-turbo with the muffler & small pipe is indeed a bit more quiet. With a non-turbo is you can't turn up the fuel and expect to increase power/performance...

One thing about brushed on carc, and only if you want a Smooth finish - is its a real pain in the but to get out the old brush marks. It has silica (sand) in it and is of near equal hardness to the sand paper abrasives. So it takes a long time with very coarse paper sanding with power tools...

This might sound crazy - but, what about a fiberglass replica of the original hardtop that actually looks close to the military configuration? There are folks that professionally fabricate fiberglass covers for trucks, campers, etc. Wouldn't it seem logical to work with an OEM like that and...

I gave DonB driving lessons a few weeks ago with my deuce. He did pretty good going around the country roads. Godspeed going home. I think the discomfort of these long trips with a deuce are often countered with the pride of new ownership. What kind of box is that on the back of the truck? -...

Its one of the bolts on the T-Case front cover, on the top passenger side. Not from the cover plate. Kenny Kublo showed me how he hoists - removes that one bolt, has a special long hook (die hook?) and lifts by that one location. In fact the replacement T-Case I got has that bolt already...

Its the township of Clarkson, just a little north of Brockport Village. I live in the town of Clarkson, but have a Brockport zip code. about 25 minutes west of Rochester, NY. I'm hoping they feel the need to upgrade and sell these off someday. :) Even if they are beat, could be a good...

Going to use the one off to the right side. Also plan on suspending from below with the ATV jack and wrap with a side.

While I am typing this note, I noticed the town is working out one of its Military trucks about 100 yds away from me directly accross the street. Looks like a 5 ton to me, but I'm not so familiar with the 5 tons. They have about 6 ex military trucks (2.5 ton and 5 ton) usually use them for...

That's sort of my dilemma, I have a static display in the driveway. I too would rather quickly change into a good replacement than work through the unknown taking weeks or months to do it. I ended up picking up a good take out transfer case semi-local to me. Shipping on these is expensive so...

If you rebuild, Please keep us posted with with what you find and it would be great if you took some pics along the way. I'm replacing my transfer case in my M109, there is a ton of metal in it after a catastrophic failure recently. When I got it, it was drained, and no metal on the plug...

UPDATE - My transfer case in the M109 bit the dust Friday.:sad: I was on my way to a friends house with the 109 and had to take a detour through a housing development went up an incline and got to the top of the hill and heard some slight clanking, followed by an abrupt lockup. Tried moving...

Carry an assortment of things that might help limp home short distances bulbs, zip tie straps, gorilla tape or vynil repair tape (good stuff) emergency repair of whatever including soft tops. Self taping sceres (grounding) Assortment of nuts /bolts = life saver, lost a clutch linkage knuckle...

Welcome to the club I agree - the semi-gloss really shows the imperfections - and had I knew how many dings there are in a M109 box, I would have stuck to flat on my project. The flat is forgiving, and looks better finished - hiding dings and dents better. The Gillespie flat marine...
