    To get my HMMWV (M1097A2) in good running order... need help.

    I believe that is a jic flare fitting. No o ring. I would unscrew, make sure interior fitting is clean with no dirt/paint and reassemble. That is reusable field fitting that can be disassembled and rubber hose replaced.

    To get my HMMWV (M1097A2) in good running order... need help.

    My go to when chasing this type of leak is a can of spray degreaser such as gunk to hose down the area to remove dirt and oil/grease so the fresh stuff stands out clearly. Also makes the repair slightly easier as you will hopefully stay cleaner .. :cool:

    What trailer is this?

    Possibly a m1061 but they do not have ramps. Those would have to be custom made and trailer sits higher than the one you are looking at.
