    Custom trailer brake help

    Since you are talking about using the back part of a deuce frame as a trailer, you need to talk to the folks that have converted the back half of an M109 into a trailer camper. Two that I know of are neilhenrix and mdmorgan. I've seen them in person at the GA and VA rallys so I know they have...

    What did you win? June 16, 2011

    Mike, Find the GTA (Graphic Training Aid) for the deuce > GTA 9-1-185 which is the full inspection for the deuce series vehicles. It takes a few minutes to check everything, but each journey will be 'less interesting' and more enjoyable if you do. "Interesting" as in the ancient curse - "May...

    Battery Desulfater for any MV.

    Solargizer should show A/C current (since it is pulsing) of about 52 volts when the sun is shining on the cell array. You may have to disconnect it from the battery to tell. It will also show DC voltage, but unless in full sun the needle will swing a bit. It's the pulsing action that makes it...

    Battery Desulfater for any MV.

    A Solargizer will work as a charger on a one amp-hour radio battery, if you are willing to wait a week between uses.

    Electronics Maintenance Shelter

    the 939 is just a specialized version of the S-280 shelter. My 280 was a radar shelter.

    some really stupid oiling questions...

    go to liberated manuals or jakonta's site for the manuals. The ones on this site will likely never be available.

    M109a3 Shore Power Cord ?

    Floridason, Your cables with the four mains actually have four each 12 ga wires all bundled together going to the ground pin. I disassembled the end off one of the cables I bought from you so I could hook it into a generator (MEP003A) panel.

    SC Rally!

    First weekend in November the Columbia and Charleston groups will be at Patriot's Point and probably in the Charleston Veteran's Day Parade

    Bad Shot

    Just cause he has it upside down?

    M109 Camper Build

    He had it at the 2010 FL Rally, but I think he was too busy with his MKT to take pictures.

    Shifty driver "smiley"

    In Windows, right click on it, select 'save image as', then save it (driver.gif) somewhere you will be able to find it, and select 'save'.

    SC Rally!

    If you want to have a 'static' rally, the SC Museum is having a miniature models day on Aug 13 in Columbia. A lot of the local group will be there in the real thing, along with military historians in authentic outfits from Roman Centurions to the present day. Groups and individuals not part of...

    military warehouse trailer

    The one we had was the regular tire version, with a "T" handle, according to the guys I talked to today. It's gone to the scrapper, but there may be another at the remote compound - we haven't been there in a while - maybe this week.

    Insane MKT Price??

    Barnett1, You may want to set yours up as 'the sink' - a mobile field sanitation center. It would really complement the functioning MKT's the other Texan's have. It's presence would help to satisfy the health department's inspectors by having the three compartment sink, hot water, etc. all in...

    military warehouse trailer

    I think the club had one when we were at the hanger. It may have been scrapped. I'll check on it this week, and if it's still present, will try to get pics.

    Naval or Silo Battery Pack Source

    Westy's right. The really big batteries that I've seen are single cells with a clear case, several feet tall. They are arranged in banks (think heavy steel framing) and many of the parts can be swapped out, esp. the huge lead plates. They are probably rebuilt and almost never sent to scrap as...

    SC Rally!

    Ferro will be heading to Haspin soon, so it looks like July will be the first available time, since he will need a little recovery time from that trip. (And Angie's honey-do list will be growing.) Mid September might be good as far as weather is concerned, should be cooling off by then. Let's...

    como wire

    3d, No, they got rid of them, first by going to a four wire (WD-16), and then via computer controlled phones. EE-8's, TA-43's and TA-312's are all obsolete, but still very useful! And, after surplusing them for nearly 30 years, someone at DLA decided they were 'mutilation required' items. I...

    Measurements of M35A2 and M109A3

    To get four bucket seats, you will wind up with a four door truck, and unless you start with an M36, a short bed in the back. You could possibly convert an M-36 into a shop van with a four door cab, since the bed area is almost five feet longer than a stock deuce. But that means purchasing the...
