The MK48 is exactly what I mean. I had no idea what it was called and basically tracked it down off pics on Google. I thought it was a M983. Any idea what the MK48's are going for at auction?
And thank you very much for straightening me out, now I at least know what its called....
I'm looking at getting a M983, 4 wheel tractor. Does anyone know what those are going for on average out of Gov Liq?? Several months back there was a ton of them up for auction in Barstow, Ca. Now there's none anywhere in the US. Figures, once I decided I wanted one, they go away...
Oil Leak...
I will check the lines. But bare with me here, I'm a weekend mechanic and not really good with the terms used. IP??? I get the lines from the block, but I don't know what the IP is and where it is in relationship to things like the fuel pump, compressor, generator, etc...

Developed a massive oil leak today while driving my duece around town. Started by losing oil pressure high and low. The gauge showed I had oil pressure, but the upper and lower limits kept getting lower and lower even though the pump was still making pressure. I could smell oil in the air, so...
I recently received my rubber windshield cowl (sp?) and am not quite sure how to put it in. Its long enough to go across both sides of the windshield. Do I cut it or run it all the way across? The one that is in there is so rotted I can't tell if it was one or two pieces originally. Also...
I've been reading up on leaky rear axles, since thats what mine is doing, and have become some what confused as to what maybe causing mine to leak. I've replaced the front, inner seals on my truck and if I don't need to I really don't want to do the same on the rears.
My problem was a leaky...
I'm new to the restoration of MV's, so please bare with me. I'm still learning the names of various parts and this is one I haven't found what its name is. Its the windshield seal that attaches above the glass part of the windshield, it doesn't move with the glass.
I have no idea where to...
Axle Seal
Ok, the wheel bearing puller I figure I can get fron the auto parts store, where do I get a slide hammer from? What is RTV? What's the best way to get all that back in?
And THANKS for the info!!! Its the last major repair I have to my 109 and then I can dive it all the time...
I'm swapping out the left front axle seal on a M109. I have every thing out of the axle except the bad inner seal. I can see it except for a large silver ring in front of it, keeping me from pulling it out. I'm new the MV's and I'm certainly new to this kind of mechanics, so please bare with...
Does anyone out there have a operational diesel fueled heater that can show me how the electrical is ran? The entire system was disabled before going up for auction. I have found where they pulled the feeder line out of the gas tank, which I'm going to have to replace. But they also disabled...
Ok, I've searched various threads and can't find an answer. I need to repair the valve in the dash that supplies air to the wiper motors. The rubber seal in the back of the valve has dried out and basically fallen apart.
Does anyone know what size and where to get the rubber seal? Also...
I'm not sure where this post should go, but here it is.
I've got a M109 I need a driver's side wiper motor for. Its the air driven type. The plastic motor already on it has become very brittle and pieces are falling off like crazy. Its screwing up the air pressure system on my truck.

The 120v switch in the box of my M109 is shot. Its the DPDT switch upper left next to the 4 breaker box. The one that turns on the 120v interior lights or the blackout light.
Does anyone know where to get a new one? I've tried all the electrical supply houses around here and all they want to...

The M109 was bought at Nellis AFB but the truck was shipped from a army base in Colorado for the auction.
Sorry about the first screw up!!!
And THANKS again for trying...
I appologize if there's a thread out there already addressing this but I wasn't to find it. The ones out there are close but not close enough.
I have a M109 that has a fuel gauge that reads full all the time. I can't tell if its reading pegged, but its at the top.
I'm a fair mechanic, but...

Bought from GL at Nellis AFB, Las Vegas, NV. I was told the M109 was shipped from a Army Base in Colorado for the sale. UTL any other numbers on the bumper, or inside the cab.
Thank you for your time!!!!!!!!!
