What I'm contemplating might be stupid and dangerous, so if you think so, please feel free to say so. I just won a bid in Hooks, TX on an M101A2 trailer and am thinking about bidding on another there to make my trip down and back more profitable; I live in the Denver, CO area. The trailer I...

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...

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...

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...

... but that's not my real problem. See this thread for the whole, longstory. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/40083-governor-holding-engine-back.html In short I've been having trouble with BAD performance on my deuce. First I downloaded the troubleshooting manual for the LDS-465-1 (my...

A friend is considering bidding on an '85 M1009 on Ebay. Everything looks good except I have a question about what looks like 2 alternators (see pictures). They don't look military to me. Do they look OK to you?

Is there a way to repair a cut air hose such as putting a sleve inside and clamps on the outside? I'm going to blame this one on GL and their fork lift. This trailer has quite a bit of damage on the frame and relay valve from a fork lift and on the bed where it was tied down by throwing a...

I am having a problem that appears to be a problem with the governor. I have poured through TM 9-2310-361-10 and TM 9-2910-226-34 and don’t find anything that seems to explain it or tell me what to do. The engine does not want to go above 2000 RPM, even going downhill. From 1500 to 1800 RPM it...

First, if someone can tell me what TM to look in for information on the "flame heater" I would be grateful. The only information I have been able to find is in TM 9-2910-226-34. I fixed a leak in the nozzle by replacing the ‘O’ rings (see...

Help! I know all the issues and have intended to save my nickles up for a new Olympic pump, but I have to move my equipment starting this coming weekend. On an M109 you have to drop the tank because of the bed, so mine is on the ground right now. I can put the bottom of the pump back together...

Three M715s found in a field north of Denver. They are available, $6000 for the whole lot, all or nothing. I just realized that I didn't count wheels and tires. I think that about half are missing. If someone is interested, I will take a better inventory. The extra tailgate goes with truck...

This is a '62 2 1/2 ton truck in Western Colorado that is getting parted out. The owner does not have the title (probably never transfered from the government) and he wants 2 of the axles for another project. It reportedly runs. Is there any interest in the parts? The cab is reportedly off of...

This is a follow up on http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?t=29481&highlight=deuce+start It is an understatement to just say that I like to take things apart. I started at the age of 3 by disassembling my mother’s watch with a hammer. I often tear into things just to see how they work...

I know, RTFM. The trouble is that I don't know what TM to look in. Here's the problem in a nutshell (coconut sized): The deuce is a '66 Kaiser Jeep with a NON-turbo Continental w/ 23K miles. 1. It used to start easily until I ran it out of fuel and had to bleed air out of the valve at the...

I didn't get the major item I was bidding on for a trip to the Northwest, so I can't afford to go for the engine by itself and commercial freight is out of sight. If anyone wants to pick up the bid on it here it is...

I have an engine in a container weighing 400 lb. that I need hauled from Ft. Lewis to Denver, CO (or somewhere nearby). I am willing to pay toward fuel. Alternatively, is there someone in Ft. Lewis that could pick it up and hold it for me 'til I can get up that way? Arlyn
