Ya mean I bid too much? but I got all 3 of them! It's the last 3 they are worth much more than that! :wink:

Pete, Just his experience with about 40 of them. Had me wondering though.

500003 = Green, no rebuild tag

I was told by someone that has been dealing with A3's since they first started auctioning them. The 1st 500 A3's had the green motor, the rest got the yellow. He also maintains there was a change (fix) after the 1st 500 engines. Don't recall what that was though. but he stay's away from the...

The Air shift transfercase turns them the same speed. The design of a sprag under drives the front, that is what makes it work. WM The TM assumes you have a rear driveshaft installed. Without the rear driveshaft, gear ratios and front to rear output differences don't matter. Be cautious the...

Chuck, As I live relatively close, I can offer some of my time to help with this. If the board needs another body/mind on the show committee, just give a shout!

The 1st step should be to address the inconsistent dip stick readings. Verify that you are not the cause of the variances, then on to what else could be causing this. Vehicle parked level. Transmission at normal operating temperature. Transmission in neutral (wheels chocked/parking brake set)...

Make sure to check the level with it in neutral, not park.

I don't know Kenny, I bet the designers did not plan for GL forklift operators in their original design. This was also overlooked in the many engineering reviews of the componants.

This doesn't right to me. GL forklift operator flaw?

The purpose of the two piece wheel is well documented. You can change a tire , put a tube in, all in the field without a tire machine. Torque rods, design failure??????????????? So what is your new & improved design? seems like this design has served quite well for decades. useful link to...

the frame will still have it's original M109A3 vin likely from the late 60's early 70's I know of several that had theirs registered that way. You only have one DMV office where you live, go to a different clerk then and suggest they precede the vin with zero's to make it 17 digits.

Been meaning to squirt some Lusterless Forest Green ever since I bought it. Well that only took a year and a half :roll: She still has all the rust, dents and multitudes of camo paint all under the fresh stuff.

I have given a rollback adaptation alot of thought over a long time. Not gonna be that hard to do with the existing bed, just not gonna be cheap. The dumpster roll off type would be cheaper. Won't have to get the bed nice & low to load a GPW, just have to get the tailgate close to the ground...

Finally put the PS on the plow truck last week, and gave her a new coat for the winter.:driver: compare to pic in post #9 above

I was tempted myself, but restraint is easy when your broke......................

One of mine was done like that. The tag on dash was a replacement there will be 4 digits to the left of it on the frame i.e. 0225, or 0325 etc there is usually a # & date on the frame rearward of the shock mounts. That date I believe is the heat treat date of the frame.
