109 NADA Registry

Will a battery actually fit in the engine bay? Or is that an extra one? I see a bunch of cables. And what is the solenoid looking thing on the driver side inner fender well?

Yes it has a extra battery. Came stock with one under the drivers seat. Still in use ... Not sure who added it. They may have moved down/lower the brake servo that come with a NADA... for the second battery.. The warn has a direct connection to the battery in the bay

Fender well. Power comes from the second battery, run the fog lights, rear work lamp. There little, if any thing added to stock wiring.

I have truck 34300211A

On the valve cover gaskets issue, find your local, jag and Bently repair shop... Have them set your tappets for you asap. Very hard to due on value 5 and 6 exhaust. Ask them to make you new cork ones.

They are expensive, but will be made right. 2.6l is great, as long as you care for it. It is a F head.

Please post some picture of the truck. Include engine bay and dash

Number 712 reporting in for the first time. Currently motoring around (slowly) between Baltimore and Annapolis Maryland. Quite crusty but very near original. I'm the third owner and know its history a bit. I would like to see SwingKeel's #380 in Baltimore to compare, plus I don't know what a few of the switches do etc.

I have some questions, not all of which are specific to NADA models:
Mounted underneath the middle bench seat, there are some clips. I assume a set of them hold the hand crank handle. What are the others for? Why are speedometer cables different for this truck than other 109s? Are valve cover gaskets still available?[the site hosts have them in the catalog, but the link doesn't work] Where can I get used parts? I'm missing a seat belt latch and a wiper arm return spring.

Thanks-
Josh

I'm 6 years late in responding, but the Westlake Head won't work on the Euro-6.The oil return ports don't match up.

Very nice that you got it I have 211A. If you change out the vacuum assist, may need it when or if you sell that part. I plan on keeping my 11 x 3 brake in the front drums.. Brett in Santa Cruz rebuild my brakes this summer. Took lots of brake fluid to get the air out of the system

Jim,

It is one of the Brewer Maine Club! I had a hard time getting it, just via text! But he was a man that kept his promise. I put it in the barn, had not got a lot of time to look at it yet, but frame looks extremely good. They put a 2.25 in it, haven't tried to start it yet. They also put the Series 3 wings and lights on it yes. I knew from the VIN it was NADA, the heated front screens, the vacuum assist (?), motor mounts different spots, battery under seats and a couple more things. I just want to get it running now, put a Turner 2.25 in it, new B-post T-pieces, and the such.

Paul and Judson,

Thanks!!! I have to swing by and look at yours!

I know I lucked out, all the seats are good, frame, firewall is minimal rust, body panels straight. Just doesn't have the 2.6, but know I will eventually put a 200Tdi in it. All I need is a year off from work...

[Paul and Judson]

Congratulation on your purchase. Welcome to the NADA 109 club. Looks like a nice example. Does it have Series 3 wings and headlights?

[Jim-ME]

Where did you find it. Is that one of the Brewer trucks? If it is then you lucked out getting the seller to return messages.

#585 Amesbury, MA Starting the rebuild soon!

34300552A, currently being restored into a hybrid defender 110 build.

I have #749 which is located in Richmond BC in need of a full restoration when I have time (hopefully someday...). I bought it in 1998 from a garage in Grassy Plains, BC. Up until summer 2014 it has been sitting in a field in Prince George, BC which is when I moved it down to Richmond. The rear of the frame is pretty shot. The original engine was taken out years ago due to a hole blown in the block, but I have a replacement 2.6 NADA engine in the event that I actually have the guts to try and re-build it.

[patrickfoley1]

How is your restoration progressing? I have made a few posts today after more than a year's dormancy. If I can be of any help don't hesitate to ask. I have a fairly complete set of Shop Manuals for the NADA and the Engine. Also Parts Manuals.

I have loaded up on spare parts over the years and have developed an extensive list of vendors both here and over the Pond. You might want to scan my Postings since 2010 for answers to questions you might have.

Clarence has been sitting in a Storage Container, for several years awaiting the delivery of a new Bulkhead. The new chassis with rebuilt engine mounted, awaits the promised arrival of the new bulkhead this summer. I hope to create a picture story from start to finish when the reassembly is complete.

Here it is, December 2015 and Clarence is still awaiting the arrival of a new Bulkhead from over the Pond. I'll soon have the price of a new bulkhead in the rent of the Storage Container. I celebrated my 80th last month and hope that I can finish the restoration before I die. My Daughter and Son-n-Law are beginning to question my judgement in this matter.

It's 8 February 2016 and still no Bulkhead. I'm beginning to question my own judgement. My offer to help remains open. I have both the Parts Manual and the Workshop Manual specific to the NADA.
