Just bought a brand new rear valve for my M149A2 from an Ebay seller. Looked at it for well over a month and decided to buy it today before someone else did. The one in my tank looks bad! Now I need to get busy and sanitize the tank.

I need one of them also. Mine will drip in cold weather but holds when it's warm. I guess the rubber is getting old and and when it's cold it gets stiffer and won't seal. Can these be rebuilt?

I haven't rebuilt mine as it is in good condition, but I would be very surprised if the valve couldn't be rebuilt.

What is the tounge weigh of the m149A2? Just thinking about what I need to tow one home.

I towed my home (empty) with my 1/2 ton pickup just fine. With water never.

Ditto! My F-150 pulled mine fine empty, but be careful. Never try to pull one with a pickup with water in it!

Well after 3 1/2 years of looking I finally found a lid/manhole cover for my M149A2. Now to find or make the hold down parts and get the broken bolts out of the tank.

I also got a new to me jack for the front. One of these days I may get this thing back together.
If any one has the hold down parts for the lid tat aren't made of gold let me know.

Well I thought I had most all the parts for my M149A2. But then I found a small water chiller for it. Now I have to track down all the stuff that goes with that. It's a never ending battle.

Why??? Empty weight of the trailer is 3,000 lbs and 400 gallons of water is another 3,300 lbs. 6,500 lbs is well within the towing capacity of a 1/2 ton pickup. Now, I wouldn't want to pull one that's 1/2 full because of the slosh, but dynamic loading doesn't factor into towing capacity.

Even a small amount less than full will get a lot of slosh. Add no brakes. I use to use a F-350 super duty flat bed with a 300 gal tank. That thing would rock you when you stopped.
