Going to install a bunk In the forward section. Painted the front window black sealed the front windows on the drive and passenger side and then began installing plywood
The steel that was used back in the 70's is unbelievable. Started trying to use self taping screws. After about the first...
So july 2013 I fell in love with a m109a3 that was parked at my uncles house. I was offered a ride and replied only if I can drive. A month and half later I bought it in a complete impulse buy.
Orginally thought of just using it for hunting and the occasional cruise around town has now turned...
The owner (my brothers future father inlaw) I believe is going to continue to try and get running. He has been working on it for sometime but wanted it to be located in a place he could get it on a trailer in the event it exceeded his mechanical ability. It was quite the site when we hooked...

Thanks, will shoot him an email and go from their.
there was a metal flang stuck down in the fuel pump when the line severed. was able to recover it and "coax" it back onto the piece that broke you see in the photo. tightened the nut back down on top of it and drove it the rest of the way...
If your looking at the top of the fuel pump where the 6 lines come out to go to the invectors. It broke up actually under the little rubber dust cover.
Just recently purchased a m109a3 and was in the process of driving it to my shop when I was blessed with a ruptured fuel line at the fuel pump. Was able to reseat the line as best as I could back into the fuel pump and drove it the rest of the way with minimal leakage.
