I live maybe 60 miles south of Camp Dodge. I'm waiting on my EUC for a M105 trailer then I'll be heading up to pick up my trailer. I could probably help those out who need short term storage or whatever, but just wanted you to know that I usually don't go to Des Moines unless I have to. Let me...
During Desert Storm, I noticed that our Service and Recovery Platoon put duals on front of one of their deuces. I saw it off and on rolling through the desert during the ground war. Wish I could have gotten a picture of it. It did look kinda neat.
Not only that, but once asked, any dealership would look like crap if they turned down the opportunity to help out a local museum. It would be bad PR for their business. (Just the little gears turning in my mind) :wink::roll::-D
I would think one of these could tow it without any problems. Get with a local dealer, and maybe he would loan a operator and tractor out for advertising. They like to show off their goods.
I'm planning on replacing the floor in the van body on my M109, and before I put down the new floor, I'll want to spray on a good underliner to the crossmembers and the bottom of my floor. Any recommendations as to what type of undercoating I should use??
Question number 1 and 3 go together. That terminal is called a circuit breaker. And to answer question 3, there should be a lead that goes from the battery to that breaker. That will power your 24volt system.
Back to question 1. You may find an additional wire dangling there off the cable...
Very nice outfit, but I'm curious to the location of your CB? Just kind of wonder why you mounted it there instead of under the dash? Other than that, I really like what you have done. You should be proud!
I felt that my van body windows in my M109 camper project have seen their better days, so I started looking around. We have a small camper factory in a near by town, so I gave them a call and talked to the owner. They also build Auctioneer Booths that fit onto the back of pickup trucks and he...
Searching through the related TM's , I can't find the electrical schematics for the M109 van body. Can anyone direct me to a source. Looking for both the 115volt and 24 volt system. Thanks!
The mirrors are "SOLD". Thanks to all who were interested in them. wsucougarx was the first to get a PM to me so the items will go to him. Thanks again!

Like I said, we had these type mirrors on our dueces when I was in the Army, and I really liked them better then. Thanks for your suggestion though. ;-):grin:
Well, here are some pictures of the mirror assy. They are complete minus the window hinge bracket. I also included a picture of my new mirrors. Of course they need paint, but I remember the motor pool switching to this style on just about all our dueces, and I always liked this style better...
I replaced my old outside mirrors with some new and was wondering if anbody has any interest in or need them. If you are interested, PM me and I'll try and post a photo of them for you. Would like 20 bucks for them plus shipping.
Sorry mod. Guess I screwed up. Please move this to classifieds...
