I had an idea I posted as a suggestion a while back, concerning New Posts. Currently, after a certain number of new posts, all of the new posts are cleared out. Is it possible to make it so that a running tally of the newest 100 (or some other number) posts are listed under New Posts, with the...

Ditto on not using the Fix-a-flat. Are you certain it is the o-ring that is leaking? The most common cause of a leak on an A3 wheel is the grommet behind the valve stem nut. Unfortunately, you still have to separate the wheel and replace the O-ring.

Ditto on switching out the front tires to the rear. I had a blow out during my A3 recovery. Fortunately, it was on the rear, but it was still bad. I would highly recommend changing out the motor oil in the Allison for Dexron III. Use the drain and fill technique and change out both internal...

Ditto. If you get in a hurry you will make a financial mistake. If I see one cheap, I'll send you a PM.

I have the TM for the 30D36R 3KW Wisconsin Robin genset, T.O. 35C2-3-400-1 if you want to post it.

The CM contact here on SS is no longer with CM. If you want to contact CM, you need to call them. I wouldn't waste the time or money with CM on a rebuild. I have seen the CTIS control units being given away free in the past by people removing the CTIS. Also, many being sold for very low prices.

I know at least one person has had CM reprogram their controller to a higher PSI for highway. However, after talking with an engineer at CM and also someone that had connections at AM General, I decided not to go this route. Apparently, AM General and the Army realized that the weak point in...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! You will definitely find answsers here. I already sent you a PM. We're neighbors, I'm probably 30 minutes from you. As I mentioned in the PM, another forum that is good on gensets is SmokStak, Antique Engines Antique Tractors Steam Engines and Old Iron . This is...

That thing is really cool. I work for Honeywell and we make the T-hawk, a small ducted fan flying machine that is used for surveillance in the Army by the infantry. They are now using them at the Fukushima Daichi reactor site in Japan to measure radiation levels. Honeywell : T-Hawk Micro Air...

Because the M109A2 was upgraded to a newer version but still based on the M35A2 basic truck. They went to the next descriptor which was A3 for the M109. Later, during the ESP program, the basic M35A2 truck was upgraded to the M35A3. When the M109 series was upgraded in the ESP program, since...

Ditto on what Rustygears said about the valve stem grommets causing most air leaks. Ditto also on Erik's. He is honest and prompt about shipping and has a lot of A3 stuff. I would recommend leaving the CTIS stuff on and simply not use it. You don't want to use it anyway because the highway...

It's the A3 at the end of M109A3 that catches people. You aren't the first and won't be the last.

You can try Delk's for the cable. http://www.de;lsarmynavysurplus.com The telephone for Delk's is: 336-629-0991. You can check the actual output with a meter and see what you are really producing. For most applications you won't see any difference between 55 and 60 Hz. If you are using the...

:ditto: 1. Load? 2. 1 or 3 phase? Both? 3. Portable? Trailer mounted? 4. Manual or auto transfer switch? 5. Fuel?

Congratulations on a good recovery! I hope you enjoy your A3. One note concerning cleaning the check valves, which I highly encourage. The check valve on the top of the tank can be a bear to remove. The fuel line that connects to the elbow, is normally quite tight. When loosening the fuel...

Ditto on the shock. Surge brakes are great and work quite well forward and reverse, if the shock is good.

Why not go ahead and pick up some new military ties and new tubes and go ahead and have the new tires mounted before loading on your trailer? Why even fool with replacement wheels?

You can get the tubing at at auto parts store. I haven't looked at the cap on my winch reservoir, but if it is a flat piece of cork, you can buy small pieces of flat cork gasket at many auto parts stores. You can then cut out a new gasket to match the old one.

Thanks aboonski. That is one excellent post for anyone wanting to work on the manifold valve on an M149A2.
