Can you find someone with a M109A3 and make a video of the two in a tug-of-war for us?

The secondary NAPA filters are known not to come with the correct gasket. Go back to NAPA and get the #5070 gasket and it'll be a lot easier for you.

Any word on how White Owl Parts is fairing? They're near the Neuse river in Kinston NC, and I read water levels are still cresting. https://abc11.com/kinston-residents-keep-watchful-eye-on-rising-neuse-river/4296557/

The engine should be cranked over, before each start, to check for hydro-static lock -- that is fuel or water in a cylinder from a leaking injector or head gasket. If one of the cylinders is filled with fluid while the others fire, you'll destroy the engine. If you get a "thud" noise while...

Great points, I've read a lot of tractor forum threads that say you can run larger generators at lower KW output with undersized HP. The general rule is you need 2 HP for every Kilowatt you're trying to produce. Example: a tractor with 30 HP at the PTO matches up nicely to a 15KW generator...

My Yanmar LX manual doesn't mention a low oil pressure kill, just the warning light, its a 2012 Tier 3 engine model. There's a lot of poorly maintained tractors out there, so I'm going to believe failures do happen. However, I would believe for anyone who takes cares of their equipment like...

1 gal per hour is respectable for a 15KW generator. I do not need to run it full time, just to run the well pump, oil boiler, cook meals, wash and dry clothes, etc. The fridge I kept cold 24/7 by using solar panels on the M109 by day and a 2000 watt gas inverter generator at night. Actual...

I think I have some of those same solar panels attached to the roof of my M109, I can vouch that they're good for 50mph. LOL! I found more info about that camera that might of some interest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frying_Pan_Shoals_Light http://www.fptower.com/

About a gallon per hour at PTO speed @2500 RPM. Note, this is not a long stroke diesel, the bore/stroke ratio is close to 1:1. 88mm bore, 90mm stroke. Yanmar diesel reliability is pretty darn good, you guys aren't scaring me.

I don't have a mil generator, I have a 15KW PTO generator running off a 45hp Yanmar tractor. The fuel fill is about neck level which made lifting jerry cans a bit cumbersome.

I'm filling up my 55 gal diesel drum today. Lifting 5 gallon cans got old when I lost power for 5 days after a fierce windstorm in the northeast last fall. I added the drum and a pump after that outage. Each major storm teaches me to get a little better about preparedness.

I rebuilt that first, in July. I had to use a shop press to remove the piston out of the master cylinder, that ain't normal.

There is a 110V to 24V Transformer in the back of M109s. That is what I'm calling the power converter. It powers the 24V exhaust fan on AC power. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I was in second gear and probably going 5mph, it stopped pretty quickly at that speed. The gearing was doing most of the slowing, I'm glad it wasn't a sudden stop or going down a hill. I've been driving deuces occasionally for 8 years, this was the first time I've had a hard brake pedal, and...

Hi. I found another related document: Excerpt from: ARSENAL FOR THE BRAVE, A HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY MATERIAL COMMAND 1962-1968 "The Army's experience with LD465 and LDS465 multifuel series engines was not altogether satisfactory. These were Government designed, standard automotive...

Big Mikes is a good source. I encountered a hard brake pedal a week ago as I was slowing down to an intersection, the parking brake stopped the truck. I now have that master cylinder apart and am awaiting a rebuild kit from Big Mike's.

Are the nozzle holes indexed differently? There's only one way to insert the injectors and plumb the lines back in.

I think that power converter is a modification, I've never heard of one under the passenger seat. I don't think you'll find any info about it and will need to trace the wiring. The only power converter I'm aware of in a stock M109A3 is the one mounted to the wall inside the box.

I think Evil Dr. Porkchop is right!

Anybody know what this is? I've only been made aware of it recently, but its been employed in my town for decades by a family building mover business.
