PLEASE GO TO THIS THREAD FOR PICTURES AND RECOVERY STORY: 1684 RTA Maintenance Trail Won 12-29-2010

I did not say to delete it! I said close it. Meaning no more entries. I have continued the actual recovery under another thread in this section where I originally had a thread for the trailer when I bought it. 1684 RTA Maintenance Trail Won 12-29-2010

UPDATE: TRAILER IS NOW HOME! We met the tractor trailer on the side of the road 1/2 mile from my house. He was too big to get into the neighborhood. Looked the trailer over good and made a plan on how to get it off the deck-over trailer. First we had to air up the tires. they had taken...

END OF THREAD!!! Please close! Trailer home!

Well the trailer has arrived by truck to Slidell. They will deliver it tomorrow morning 8:00AM. We hope to get it unloaded without any problems. We plant to secure the steerable axle straight so it will not try to jackknife when we unload it. I have not seen it on the truck yet so I am not...

Maybe someone stole the brake fluid. If it is $22 per quart.

As the vulture said "Patients my ass, I'm gonna kill somethin" :nothingfunny:

:shock::shock::shock::shock::shock: WHY DON"T YOU DELETE THE STUPID THREAD! IT HAS NO VALUE!!!!!!

Gee I feel left out! No one called me to come by and help. I was not busy today and could have lent a hand. Offer is still open. I am not an expert but I follow directions well and work well with others.

The A1's had Continental LDS-427-2 ( built under the MANN diesel whisper engine licence ) Multifuel turbo engines, and 5th gear was an overdrive.The engines were not reliable. A2 trucks received the LD-465-1 non turbo, keeping the OD transmission of the A1s. Through the years the trucks were...

Well that answers the question! I guess mine is now updated to a M109A3 since I have a new LDT-465-1D with 98 hours on it. :beer: :mrgreen:

We still don't know what the differences are between the M109A2 and the M109A3 which is the topic of this tread.:driver:

Mine is an A2 with the LDT-1D engine 6-'93. Plenty of power!

All i could find on the subject was that the early M109's had 5 windows on each side of the box. Later they changed it to 3 windows per side. This does not explain the difference between the A2 and A3 versions. I will keep searching.

It depends on you PB. My wife and I will be there for sure! It's the one rally I can definitely can afford to drive to. We also love to visit our friends Tim, Pam and Jesica.

Gonna leave it Satin black for now. As low as it sits it blends in with color of the road asphalt. It's a really nice Powder Coat Finish, I hate to cover it up.

The sheet metal was on top of the joists not below them. The joists were exposed to the road conditions. They had the whole underside of the box undercoated. The sheet metal rusted due to the water leaks from above (leaks from open windows and leaking roof) not from below.

Drop and give me 100 for that comment! :x

I have a M109A2. I was wondering the difference as well....

Thanks Tim. I found the model number here on Steel Soldiers in someones thread. Gotta love the data that is available here on the site.
