    West Virginia to Nebraska

    That looks like the avatar pic that an Arfcommer from WV had. Am I on the right track? LC

    M109 camper conversion

    I saw in your posts that you were going to try to weigh the trailer at some point. Have you done so? If not, do you have an idea about what it might be? I pulled our M109A3 back from the local base with my Deuce, and I could feel it, but was still able to stay between 45 and 50 once I got it...

    M109 camper conversion

    How cool would it be to have an M109, and tow an M109 trailer? Doable? LC

    No photos at Ft. Polk DRMO??

    Ah well, glad to see I'm not the only one! LOL This is an older thread, I guess I was just wondering what could be so secret at the DRMO site that you shouldn't take pictures of it. Guess I'll just chalk it up to a learning experience! LC

    winch shear pins-- Cheapest??

    I hate to think what would have happened to my winch if it hadn't had the mil-spec aluminum shear pin last time I broke it. A $5 pin to keep from ruining a $1K winch? No brainer. LC

    Today's M109A3 recovery

    That's a nice setup in the rear box, I'm jealous. Ours is gonna need a complete teardown. LC

    M109 camper conversion

    That is really some nice work. I doubt I would have the patience to take that thing down to bare skin and rebuild it. But I have gotten some good ideas here. Will it be ready in time for the Rally? Still looks like a fair amount of build-out left. LC

    Got the M109A3 home.......

    Dell: If this one had a decent floor, I'd probably just cover it with something and call it good, but the boards are coming undone. And the threshold is going to take some decent work, not to mention cleaning and painting the inside of the box. My brother and I do a fair amount of back...

    Got the M109A3 home.......

    The tachometer has not been registering so we pulled the cable. The gauge end was broken, so a new one has been ordered. We've been concentrating on the engine for now, making sure things are running properly. Going to change the fuel filters this weekend, the engine seems a bit sluggish...

    LDT 465 1C Injector Pump Need advice on purchasing one.

    OK, I'll take a shot at it. These trucks and most of their components are stone reliable, but even they wear out and need replacement. If you get one from another truck, you may have great service from it, you may not, it's pretty much luck of the draw. It will depend on the mileage put on...

    Got the M109A3 home.......

    Looks like I figured it out. Didn't realize it was this easy. LOL, notice the missing tire on the 105 trailer. We took it off to have an extra spare for recovering the 109. The back yard is so full of skeeters right now that you can't work back there for very long. I hope the cool weather...

    SF97 with sale issues

    OK, I'm a little confused, which is not surprising, since I'm still new to this. I bought a Deuce through GL and have decided to sell it to my brother. Do I have to title and register it in my name and then sell it to my brother? When I bought my first Deuce, I noticed that the SF-97 itself...

    Got the M109A3 home.......

    Will definitely keep the camera close, Zout. Work is going to start soon. I'm almost as excited about my brother's M109 as he is. LC

    Got the M109A3 home.......

    Hi Dell: No problems towing with my Deuce other than slow speed (30-35mph)going up a couple of bridges. On level ground, it could pull 45-50 fairly easily. (Took a while to get up to that speed, though...LOL) Most of the way I just stayed at 45. The strange thing about this 109 is that...

    Got the M109A3 home.......

    Hi everyone: As I have indicated in other posts, I picked up the M109 from Pineville on Thursday, Sept. 15. The 109 will be for my brother, and he plans to turn it into a camper. We got there around 10:30 in the morning to find several people working on their Deuces to get them home. I...
