I should have some tarps. As for interesting....I got a bunch of crap that some of it is ordinary and out of the ordinary. I honestly won't know what all I have until I download due to my grab and sling loading method. I brought down a LOT of stuff from up north on my last trip. Made the mistake of downloading it and now it's time to upload it. Don't I feel like a dum*&^^%$#.

That sucks.Well, I WOULD be there Friday, but it seems my new baby (M109) has other plans.
I just finished the 20 hour trip from the Iowa border to Kennesaw on Friday. And now I have a massive puddle of break fluid at the left front tire. At least it was parked, filling the air tanks when it let go.
I may attend anyway, but on foot, since it's in my home town.
Any idea what cut lose? The line or the cylinder?
We could always towbar you to the event and make it feel like you're driving down the road.

I have a deuce cab tub with good doors and glass.
250 bucks if anybody wants it I'll load it and bring it with.
I am having a fire sale on sheet metal (batt and tool boxes) also new in box 5 ton fuel tanks.
Will also have sheets of uncut laminated window glass. Can be cut to fit deuce front and side windows.
I have 5 1100x20 mounted on 5 ton rims if anybody needs them. Tread fair to poor.
Other misc stuff depending on how much space is left on the deuce.
I need the money for my new M915.
Everything I bring will be sold at some price.

I'm tearing into her tomorrow to try to find out where she's spitting out her fluids. I should know more tomorrow afternoon, hopefully.

I will have a 701, a towbar with accessories, a slave cable, racks, cargo covers, tarps for generators, bow corners, field desks, various empty field cases and boxes, shackels, a boarding ladder, etc, etc, etc.
I also have what appears to be a new with tag M880 tarp. I haven't written down and looked up the stock number yet but it is a almost brown vinyl tarp. Got some 101 and 105 stuff also.
Looking for a good M35A3 (note A3) dropside bed but not sure how I will get it home.

I will be bringing boarding ladders, mermite cans, various field gear, some sleeping bags, etc, etc. If you have something in mind that you need, pm me, and I will see if I have it, and try to load it on the trailer.

I've just gotten done pulling the wheel, and diagnosing. It's the brake line that cut loose.
So, any parts dealers going to be at the show and swap? Dad mentioned Taylor Equipment being possible attendees, but I'm sure there have to be more around.
It's a 19 inch front brake line that's chewed up, and it looks like the retaining spring is what broke loose to LET it get chewed, judging by the manual diagrams.

A truck parts store or a NAPA that handles medium truck parts should have something to fit.

Dad mentioned Napa, but I'd rather send the business to someone in the "family" if possible. Though, if the swap weren't this weekend, I'd be at Napa already.
If I have to go that route, how would I identify her to Napa? If I said M109A3, would they have a clue?

No but if you go back to the manual, you will need to the parts manual. Get the NSN, CAGE Code, and Part Number.
Use the CAGE Code with the BINCS website to ID the manufacturer. The PN will most likely be the mfg part number so that is usable at NAPA either directly or via a cross reference manual.
Sometimes googling the pn and or stock number will work also but that is the exception not the rule.
Good luck.

Went in with the Parts manual, but my local Napa couldn't figure it out, so I'm ordering from Memphis equipment. Napa would have had to order it in anyway, so that doesn't make much difference. I should have the line soon, but not in time to fix her for the get together. So I'll be hoofing it there.

Monica, there would be more then a good chance that a recovery/ repair mission could be authorized, being that you are right in town

I understand. But I have another obligation that's going to have me out of town on Saturday, and the repair part won't be in on Friday.
I did give it a day to see if anyone would say they'd have a line for sale before ordering it, but I was too itchy to get the parts in route to give it any longer than that. I want my new baby back up and rumbling!
I did get the hand brake fixed today, though. So 1 of 2 are back online.
