M109 Power Cable

[Sundance]

Anybody know where to find a correct power cable to supply the 120v system on the M109A3 truck?

Tactical6 had some. Might want to PM him.

109 uses a 60 amp cable/connector. One I got from Tactical6 was a 100 amp cable - it has a different sized connector. YMMV.

There is another thead that list the part nuber for the plug and where to get them. They are NOT cheap. Some thing like $100-200.

Thanks, I'll search again I must have tried the wrong key words.

Heck, I found the thread but the link to the info doesn't work. If anybody knows where the link was directing you I would appreciate the info.
Thanks, Steve

You are looking for a crouse-hinds Arktite 60 amp two wire connector. Best price I could find last year was $175 plus S&H each, and there were four in a Memphis, TN warehouse. That is JUST the connector, no cable or connector on the other end of the cable. I think it is the APJ-6275 or the APJ-6385. Look at http://www.crouse-hinds.com/catalog/pdfs/00966to00969_00974to00975.pdf
Other manufacturers make a compatible plug/connector, but they are not any cheaper.

Having said all that, for most recreational use (IE, not running a shop with lots of motors) replacing the plug with a 30 amp RV connector would make more sense and cost a lot less.
YMMV and

Thanks Mike, I plan on putting a workshop with tools, table saw, air compressor, etc.
The R/V plug still may be the best bet.

There are many posts about that power cable. The original is very hard to find, and making your own is very expensive.

I installed a 30AMP R/V power connector on my M109. Works great.

There is also a 50AMP version available.

Picture of it installed before I painted the truck.

I got an adapter with one of my M109's that had the two pin connection on one end and a standard residential plug on the other end.

Wish I were so lucky .

Which one you got? They're not all the same. Some trucks have 2 pin, some 3 pin, some 4 pin, I've got one here that has an odd 6 pin connector that I've never seen before.

 

[Sundance]

Mine has the 2 pin type.

Westfolk,
To build that with commercial parts is about $350 plus the cable to go between them, so roughly $450 total.

 

[SCSG-G4]

If you do, I'll take it at that price!

My 109 has a 2 prong slave outlet on the box, wired into the 120 side of the disconnect switch. Odd huh?

 

[Sundance]

Sent westfolk a PM. Guys, give me a shot at the 2nd one after all I started the thread.

 

[tsstout]

I thought I just got this straight Ferro... The 2 prong high up was a 110v connector to the breakers... and the lower 2 prong was a slave connector for the 24v system... Am I still screwed up??
