It has been more than a year since I (we) made a GL purchase and it is actually my wife making the buy (first for her). My question is how fast are they going? We are trying to schedule a trip to include a visit to our daughter who is expecting a baby in Sept. hmfic's posting of 2-15-2012...

I just won a bid on a good condition M101A2 wo/ top at Hooks, TX and I live in the Denver, CO area. If someone could make the haul for me, I'm pay $$. Otherwise I will be making a round trip towing it and cound carry stuff either way for someone else. I could go via NM, OK or KS to...

Call up the manager at the GL yard and tell him what your problem is. I have gotten my pickup time delayed a couple of times in order to coordinate multiple pickups. As much mud as people, including myself, have slung at the GL folkes in the main office, I really like ALL of the folks at...

What was the event and lot number on your new rig? I've been tracking M35A3 and M109A4 sales. I apologize if I’m repeating what someone else said, I haven’t read the entire posting word-for-word. When it was time to pick up my M109A3, I asked my insurance agent and he said I was covered...

Motorcycle trailer it will never be. It is on an M103 frame, same as an M105. It has air brakes and takes a deuce to pull with any kind of load. If you want a cycle trailer look for an M101A2 with a surge brake on the front. Look at: 2330 - Trailers at Government Liquidation Welcome to the...

The 12v alternator HAS TO HAVE ITS OWN BATTERY. You cannot charge one of the batteries in the 24v string with a separate alternator; that will overcharge it and boil off the electrolyte. You also cannot use one of the batteries in the 24v string separately to get 12v for any serious amount of...

I adjusted the stop under the pedal today and saw (maybe) a little improvement. When it is cold it runs as well as it ever has. Then something goes wrong when it gets hot. It just dies and won't start for 10 minutes. Then it runs a bit and dies. This trouble started when I first bypassed...

I went back through all the TMs I could find that did anything more than mention the Injection Pump, including TM 9-2910-226-34 mentioned by Floridianson, and did not find what I was hoping to find. TM 9-2910-226-34 has as good a description and drawings of the IP as any, but there are no...

I would like to find a TM that shows the INSIDE of an injection pump on a 1966 M109A3. The engine is an LD-465-1 without a turbo (See photo of data plate). As I remember it, working inside the IP is a depot level job and apparently is not included in any TMs that I can find, including the ones...

Just to throw my 2 cents in, my experience tells me that NDTs are TERRIBLE on hard, slick surfaces. From ’67 to ’69 I was in Vietnam and a deuce with NDTs could plow the mud if anything short of a Track Retriever could. In ‘73 I was in the Reserves, 244 Engr. Bn., Boulder, CO, and we took our...

Emmado22, Your point is well taken. My wife, who was helping me with the experiment, and I talked about all the things that can go wrong with a stock M2 burner and we have decided to definitely pursue the propane conversion and forget using the M2s that I have. MitchG, I think that I need to...

I have been interested in converting several of my M2 burners to propane and finally got around to experimenting with it. Here is what I found: Summary The first phase of the Great M2 Burner Experiment is finished. The preliminary conclusion is that the six armed burner in the M2 burner...

When you get it done and if you have some governor parts left over, drop me a line. I'm still having trouble getting my non-turbo running properly. It's definately at least partly related to the governor and the FDC linkage. Arlyn PS if you decide to bypass the FDC see this thread, the...

Thanks, I needed that! I needed to be reminded why I turned down a good job offer in Sarasota. I was beginning to waver. Now you’re scaring me. I have a flat on an inside duel; it was flat when I picked up the truck. All I have is the Army issue wrench that another SS member gave me at...

If your in-tank pump is dead it can still run and start great as long as there is no air in the lines. Before I let air into the lines by running it out of fuel, it started before the engine even made a single turn. If you crack the bleeders on the top of the filters and the in-tank pump is...

After thinking about your problem last night I logged in early to chime in, but everything I was going to say got said. I want to second what nhdiesel has said. I have seen farm tractors repaired permanently that way. The only thing I might add is go a little past where you think the crack...

Ditto. My '66 had rubber as hard as a rock in the glad hands. I got replacement rubber at a local truck shop. If it really is hard to start, start by checking your fuel pump. A truck with good fuel lines and no air in them can run on the boost pump on the injector pump. Any air in the...

I believe that, except for the first truck, that is an ARVN (Army Republic of Viet Nam) convoy. They often had newer and better trucks than we did. Arlyn

Cup holders, too, for the lattes.

Welcome, neighbor. I'm a Western Slope (Colorado) native and have spent a lot of time in Eastern Utah. Beautiful country!! There's another new guy from Glade Park, CO which is barely in Colorado on the Utah side...
