I traveled to Ft. Stewart Ga. today to recover my tan M105A2. I already had two others, but one was camo green, the other a VSE refurbished OD green, but they did not match my tan M109A3 camper, and I wanted one to match. I will camo it later. On the way home, I passed by two state troopers...

Islandguy Don, from Michigan, is making a 200 mile trek with his Oddball Exress (M109A3 from Fl.) up North with his Deuce for all the family to oogle over and enjoy. What a thrill it must be to share with the kids on Thanksgiving. I'm sure it will be a big hit for all. Lets wish him well and...

This one's by a newbie. Yes, this is my second deuce and I have yet to shift the transfer case. Today, my son who pleaded to drive the deuce with his girlfriend asked the question. What is the air shift lever and light for on the panel of my M109A3, and I could not answer it. I believe it...

My emergency brake was very loose on my M-109 when I first purchased it. I have been working on a lot of other things and finally got around to it. I found the screw on the ebrake was very loose, where it is located under the center part of the undercarriage. I hand tightened it, then I adjusted...

I seem to be getting more dirty than smart. I have been trying to trace down my M109A3 glad hand air. No luck with search. I don't have air to either glad hand, the emergency or service line. I need these fixed prior to the Ga. Rally as I am carrying a M1061E1 5 ton in the rear. It has been...

Today, with my wife chasing, I recovered my M109A3 from Robins Air Force Base. It has a shower, sink, water tank with 28vdc pump, roof air, and make a good starter for a deer hunter/camper, IMO. Anyway, I noticed when pulling out of the gate going up a slight ramp on Russell parkway, I had...

Going to recover my M109A3 tomorrow. All systems are go, except for the instrument panel and turn signals. All my lights work except one burnt out headlight but that is being shipped to me by R Racing. Good fella there. My turn signals are the only problem. I tried multiple search...

Here is a template you can use to paint your instrument cluster without hassle or tape. Print this out and cut around the lines. The black lines should barely show, and it need be precision cut round so get your wife to do it. You can tape them down if you wish inside the gauges, but just a...

OK, I know much of this has been covered. Search doesn't work for me very well but I will be researching threads. I was hoping for some shortcuts along the way. Questions as follows: 1. How much green paint should I buy for painting a complete M109A3, box, cab, inside cab and all. 2. Is...

Anyone notice the M105 VME rebuild trailers won't take siderails? These are beautiful trailers, completely redone, new paint, brakes, tires, glad hands, etc. but there is no way to get your old siderails in there. I measured twice. The widest point is fine. It is the narrower side that is...

I have decided to document, in picture format, the chassis of the M105A2 which may help eliminate some of the confusion of the structure and assist others who are about to climb underneath one in the dirt for the first time. There will be about 24 pictures all total. MDMorgan has removed the...

Well, I got my license plate tags for the new M35A3 today. The local registration office had to call in and ask what are requirements for a title and they were told titles are not issued for M35A3's so looks like I am getting in the same situation as others in Georgia where every office puts out...

Today, I recovered my first ever Deuce and a half, a M35A3 from Ft. Benning. I arrived at 11:45 after setting up an appt. at 12-1PM, and found I was just in time to interrupt the good Sgt from his lunch break coming at 12. Didn't mean to do that. Anyway, my good friend, who is always there for...

I got it with my M101A2, rinsed it down, and threw it over the top. Looks like it covers the tires. Am I suppossed to remove the top rails with a cover and tuck it in? The gromment holes where the camo changes to brown don't have holes in them, and are covered completely behind with the...

I finally did it!! I bought my first Deuce, a M35A3 from Ft. Benning. Paid a little extra, but it seemed clean for me, and the quality was there. Two front tires leak slightly and only pump up to 21 pounds. Got another thread started earlier today about parts needed to cap it in the field, where...

I have tried the search engine and read the manual (-24) on CTIS. There are a lot of comments about disconnecting. Still not quite sure of details. Comments are generally disconnect CTIS at hub. TM is disconnect and replace. Questions are as follows: In disconnecting CTIS at the front...

For the last ten days we have had near and above 100 degree weather and no rain for two months. For the next ten days, we will be having near and above 100 degree weather. People rarely believe me when I tell them Middle Ga. summers are hotter than Fl. Orlando, for instance, while not on the...

I was wondering if anyone has tried the Northern Tool 2" ball brake actuator, or exchanged the pintle actuator for a 2" ball actuator. I will send a picture of the actual assembly from Northern tool and a link. It seems this would be ideal for people who have the M101 series trailers but want...

I'm getting ready to install some 12vdc lights, in addition to, my 24vdc lights on my M101's and M105 trailers. I noticed wal mart has some new led lights out for trailers that are on-line purchase only, meaning they are not in the stores yet. These LED lights increase your visibility and...

Today, Tim (TVoss) came to Perry, Ga. to complete his recovery operation on his new prize, a M-185 purchased from Robins AFB. I did a presurvey for him, put in a part or two, and removed from the Base as Tim was out of the country. He brought along his friend Damian (sp?) to drive the chase...
