    Question for the experts

    Hey Sarge, welcome to the site! Yes, the cab parts are all interchangable between the deuce, older series 5 tons, and even 10 tons. Not sure on the power steering box, it maybe too large to use. Finding a way to pully drive the pump might be a problem too. The 5 ton version of the LDT, the...

    M109 Power Cable

    My 109 has a 2 prong slave outlet on the box, wired into the 120 side of the disconnect switch. Odd huh?

    Is this a M105a3 trailer

    No that is indeed a M105a3. Very interesting trailer, I looked over several in Richmond last month. The rear reminds me of the back of a humvee. And barely any wheel wells in side, so you have alot more floor area. Not sure I'd personally pay $1,200 for one. The real question is, is it worth...

    Submarine Deuce

    I'm really thinking of doing this now... I would like to find a poor deuce (maybe barely runs or has something terminal in the engine) and put stacks on it. That way if I have a leak, I'm not out a good engine. But I think it would be a great publicity stunt, maybe do it as a benefit for a...

    So am I nucking futz or not?

    I used to use a kubota diesel powered hydrostatic drive riding mower at the Boy Scout Camp where I worked in the 90's. So they are out there... Air assist is for really wimpy people- My wife drives our 109 just fine. Sure she has to hang on the wheel at a dead stop, but you just drive it like...

    pressurewasher sandblaster attachment

    That's a good idea Mitch! I'm going to get one of these water/sand blaster units. I need to repaint a boxcar, and it would take forever with a normal blaster. A few guys repainted a caboose just recently, and used nothing but wire wheels and needle guns to prep. Took 5 guys two months...

    Need 105 pickup

    Hey all, I was wondering if someone living near Richmond could pickup a 105 trailer for me? Maybe hold it for a little bit? Right now it is on a car dealer lot, and I'd rather pay storage to an SS member than them. I can't get up there to get it for another month or so, and I don't really want...

    Yet another horror story about Creekside (OH)

    That would not work. Then WE couldn't bid on anything. DRMS rules, DRMO and GL personal cannot bid on GL sales. Due to the fact they can influance the listings, etc. *mislabeled, wrong pictures, false info to keep the price low, hidding big $$$ items at the bottom of a box of crap, etc* I'm...

    That's a good looking truck. I wish I could get one!

    Found lots of MVs and Trailers Must sell in 60 days Half Track etc

    Any other jeeps? really want a m38a1, but would settle for a scrap price M-anything jeep. Then I could pay for my trip hauling something west and some of that stuff back east.

    91140 gross and the 818

    I'll keep it for you FT, you can just swing buy and run it or haul it around whenever you want. So did you find out about all the restrictions and requirments from the nice transport officer after or before you tried to move it?

    Concept M109

    I was thinking of taking two rear frames, welding them together in the middle, then mounting two front axles in one set and leave the rears in the other. Then a deuce crew cab with maybe a 5ton hood and extended deuce fenders. Make my own 8X8. :twisted:

    M200 dolly conversion

    I have Armymans' dolly. I need to contact Noah or Christan again to see what they want me to do with it. I was wanting to tee off the dolly air lines and mound gladhands there for the trailer, then splice in a truck trailer socket for the same thing. Then the lights and brakes on the dolly...

    Manufacture Clones?

    Something tells me it would cost way more to tool up a shop to build clones than you could reap from the sales of said clones. Also, the government and AMG are probably so in bed together that if you made a fender you'd go to jail. They have some agreement, otherwise there would be HMMWVs all...
