Does anyone know where I can get a master cylinder rebuild kit for the M105 trailer ? I don't which model exactly it is as the data plate is missing. The master cylinder is applied by a large air can and the wheels have 2 wheel cylinders each. The cylinder bore is 1-1/16" . The seals have numbers on them: 4504 and 4505 by ADM.
Thanks for any help.

It's been years I don't remember:oops:. I'm just glade I wrote it down some where.
I'm very glad you wrote it down too Jason ! I went into NAPA today to get the parts. Had to order everything. All the parts are coming from Michigan. The parts guy did ask where did I get all the numbers. I told him from this site where I'm a member. He just kinda of grunted "huh interesting". He had never ordered these parts before and was glad as there is no mention of a "M105 trailer" in their books !

Commercial-off-the shelf (COTS) military equipment offers the promise of technology advancement, low cost and reduced acquisition time. Unfortunately, it also offers the opportunity for a reliability and logistics disaster because commercial parts, standards, and practices may not meet military requirements. Additionally, commercial vendors have little or no experience in providing the kind of technical data required to support military deployment logistics. COTS hardware is expected to have the following characteristics: low cost; currently available from multiple suppliers; and built to documented standards in high volume production with a mature design. The reliability challenge in the next decade will be to manage COTS to take advantage of the promise and avoid the disaster. This can be done by carefully selecting the COTS vendors, thoroughly testing the hardware/software and applying only those analyses and data requirements (ESS, EQT, verification testing, prediction, FMEA, derating, parts control and FRACAS/FRB) to ensure reliability performance and logistics support. This paper offers some guidance in managing COTS program elements and provides insight into their impact on reliability

Spoken like a true Logistics Officer ! LOL !!! I totally agree though. When I was still in "Motor Transport" and got promoted to Sergeant one of my jobs became the "parts acquisition" NCO. It became a royal pain ! It took up about a third of my day ! and I still was responsible for all my other duties ! I still have "nightmares" filling out forms in triplicate for some stupid part that I could just run down to the nearest NAPA store and buy off the shelf for a tenth of what the military was paying for it ! I'm sure now with computers and all that it is much easier to order parts.
