    M109A3 Restoration/Remodel

    Plastic ziplock bags for loose hardware with an index card in it stating where they were removed from sure beats looking through a coffee can. Slow and steady and organization will make the reassembly much more enjoyable.

    anyone use this to get out glow plugs

    no, but when the weather breaks up here I want to replace the glow plugs and if they are swollen I will probably get one, I understand how they work and seems safer than blowing them out with engine compression.

    Few more ?'s get this baby started!

    After checking all systems I used wd40 to fire it off. Mine also sat for a long time. and it was in the 30 degree or less temp. I also had a kerosene torpedo heater under the front end too help warm things up. I might also be interested in the troop cover.
