Hey guys, I made it home without any trouble. Here's a shot from my angle. That was a good long distance shake down run. My odometer reads 288 trip miles but google maps says 300 miles even, I'll side with google. On my "home blended" fuel looks like I averaged 8 miles per gallon, I think...

Getting on the road now, had a glitch with closing the rear door against the temporary plywood floor and seems some dumb dumb forgot to cut the hole in the floor for the PTO lever. Hopefully this means I'm leaving murphy behind me :wink:

I've got most of my stuff loaded up, will get on the road as soon as possible!

@Danl, I pretty go to the NAPA on Payne Rd by Sams Club for everything. If a part is in Westbrook I can have it sent over to Scarborough on NAPA's website, its just more convenient. My wife pretty much isn't speaking to me, she thought I was taking a break from military vehicle stuff after...

I got them, NAPA set me up. The six studs, lock washers, nuts, and a roll of safety wire for $9.00 even. I go to NAPA so often I get the "Heavy Truck Customer Discount" LOL! I've removed the seals and cleaned up the PTO parts, removing the flange seal was a miserable experience I don't care...

Hmm....thanks for letting me know about the studs, I don't remember seeing those with the box of odds and ends. Looks like I can get the studs at Tractor Supply or Ace Hardware. George at White Owl set me up with gaskets and seals awhile back, I hope to change out the seals on the PTO...

I topped off my fuel tank with some home-filtered fuel yesterday. I'll fill a couple jerry cans tomorrow to take along for the return trip. I'm excited to see what kind of mileage I get, come on high single digits! My offer to convoy up or provide layovers in Scarborough still stands. I...

I was wondering if there are any food or dinner plans we should be aware of, ie bring your own Gulf War 1 MREs or something....... (just kidding) I guess this location does have the advantage of having restaurants just down the road towards Brewer if we choose to take advantage of them, but...

Dan, it'll be at the Maine Military store off 1A in Holden, just south of the Brewer 395/95 connector exit. Bring the jeep. I haven''t heard of any cooler restrictions, TowerGuy1 will need to respond to that, he's the organizer.

Well, we're a week away and there's been two sound offs. What's the verdict Chief?

I'm still planning to come but I'm not tied to the date. If we need to postpone to accommodate other people's schedules I'm happy to take the time to fix holes in my 109 roof. I seem to be finding lots of leaks lately...

Just noticed there's an Irving station next door to Maine Military Supply, that will make refueling for the return trip convenient!

My plan is to bring the 109A3. I gutted the van box interior earlier this spring so the inside walls and floor frame are exposed but the exterior is pretty close to its original paint color and markings. I'm bringing the rest of my winch kit to work on while I'm up there, I have the PTO...

I just cleared it with Mrs. Katahdin, anyone is welcome to layover over here in Scarborough on either leg of the trip. I'm thinking we can convoy to the rally Sat AM and head back Sun afternoon but I'm flexible. The more the merrier. I'm on an old farm, there's plenty of room for parking and...

I've got space for parking and camping in 04074 if mass drivers want to go roughly halfway the night before, of course I should probably clear that with my wife first...

Welcome to the site! Yeah, I understand the rush to fix stuff before taking a long trip. I took my jeep TJ to the rally last year, but I'm feeling more confident with my 109 this year. :)

Will the driving range, mini-golf, and go-kart course I see on Google Maps be open? That looks like a bonus! :D 179 Main Road Holden, ME - Google Maps

I'm good-to-go. If anyone coming from the south wants to meet up for a convoy let me know. I'm just off I-95 mile/exit 42. (Cabelas, Beech Ridge Speedway, etc).

I'd like to come, not sure about Father's day weekend tho. I may be helping my brother move to Ft. Hood. I'll let you guys know and watch the thread.
