    1970 m109 box mounting bracket question

    They are upright brackets for bows so that you can install a cargo cover to disguise the 109 as a cargo truck from the air

    XM381 Would be the correct name

    David Kelone, the data plate guy does make the plates, CruizinZ28 , Jesse has them on his beautiful 4x4 conversion deuce. One could also call it a Deuceimog, as per Artie Swain, MTA NJ in 2003 when he saw my original JATonka 4x4 at Dover, NJ armory show. JT

    Tube out of a 9.00X20 Tire in a 11.00X20 tire

    The only flat I had on brand new Goodyear 11.00R 20 radials on the last cross country 7000 mile trip was because a mistake was made when we assembled them............we put a 9.00R 20 tube in the 11.00R 20 tire that went flat. Best to use the right tube in the tires for a reliable ride. From...

    Will a DT466 fit in a M35a2

    They told me no question is a dumb one. The 5 speed trans #3053A with adaptor ring would not fit the DT466 engine bell. The 5 ton 800 series transmission would fit on the DT466. The DT466 we were working with was a 1990 from a 4900 series IH truck. To answer another question, my 1986 IH...

    M872--Will it hook up to civy tractor lights?

    I loaded an M872 on an M872 and hooked up to my Civy FLD120 Freightliner and drew them 250 miles, no troubles. M872s have both military and Civy trailer light connectors and 12 and 24 volt lights. My Freightliner doesn't have a high 5th wheel as it used to draw 13'6" van trailers. JT

    Selfridge, MI to upstate NY

    I need to get an 18,000 pound airport tug tractor hauled from Selfridge, MI to my place in Upstate NY pretty soon. It does not run so it will need a detach or Landoll type trailer. I could use some help finding someone to do this... I really need to at least get it off the base real soon. JT

    Thermal insulation?

    Being that there almost none out there for sale, yes. If you buy the new stuff at an auto supply and cut and fit your own, you'll spend at least 2/3 of the price, and have a heck of a job ahead of you. If you do your own, don't forget the one on the fuel pedal!! JT

    fuel treatment for ethonol gas

    Aother brand of ethanol euthenizer is StarTron, sold at Napa and lots of other places, been using it in my gas generators and chainsaws all year, no troubles yet. I do wish I had a gas station near by without any ethanol, Upstate NY, pretty well over regulated for sure. JT

    Will a DT466 fit in a M35a2

    Yeah, I know it's a 3053, the 3052 is the same box, same input shaft, just DD 5th. Sorry for the mistake. Won't mate to the 466 bell housing with or without the adaptor ring for the 5 ton, from first hand experience.

    Will a DT466 fit in a M35a2

    Mudguppy just said it in a nutshell. The DT 466 will not mate to the Spicer 3052 at all. The DT 360 with an Allison will fit in the hole and you will need to change the front sheet metal. I am doing my next JATonka 4x4 with a 195 hp/ DT 360 mechanical with the Allison trans. and will not...

    Deuce heater shutoff valves

    I use the Napa marine shut-offs on all my heater installations, they look like the issued valves and always work well enough for me cause I leave them on year around, it's cold up here nearly every morning. JT

    Help with ramps

    I went to U-Haul and bought 2 of their aluminum slide out ramps that had damage to the hooks for a cheap price and they are excellent for loading my son's Suzuki Samurai rock crawler buggy in one of my deuces, just a thought

    rockwell wheel spacer

    I checked my M109 after the cross country trip and sure enough, I have light rub marks on the trunnion bearing caps. No damage to the tires and I haven't done anything to fix it yet. But, I am going to check the bearings in the trunnion and make sure they are properly adjusted. JT
