    M107A1 Water Buffalo Questions?

    Interesting as I have the same parking brake handles and pump bracket but yours does not have the metal shelf over the water piping. X usually means they were experimental or pre production so maybe they were added to the final contract? Your plumbing also caught my eye as I don't recall the...

    M107A1 Water Buffalo Questions?

    Yes, Let me know specifically what you would like pics of. I did all the mounting for the tank and pick up tube on body frame but did not yet do anything in the bed to mount and set up the gen set.

    MKT-75 It started out that I wanted to make a tactical burger.

    Saturn Surplus has the original military reflectors. Maybe your USA friends can help you and ship? http://www.saturnsurplus.com/lights/lights.htm

    M107A1 Water Buffalo Questions?

    Was Frehauf also the manufacture of yours? Thanks for the date. I Am beginning to think mine is 50's vintage instead of my swag 60's. Also post more pictures when you can. Does it have the pump bracket on the front of the tank? or the Rear Landing leg? It seems in the tm, they removed the...

    M107A1 Water Buffalo Questions?

    Thanks for the great tip. I had not noticed that product in their display at the stores and looks like Home Depot carries it. $9 Qt and perfect size and price for just the tank.

    M107A1 Water Buffalo Questions?

    Very nice. Looks in great shape. Mine has the Vietnam olive drab underneath the green carc. Can actually see the white US army on one side. I will probably start a thread on my refurb. Question for all? The tank is bare aluminum in some places. Is rustoleum rusty metal primer ok to use? Or...

    long cargo trailer

    Seems I recall some folks here putting cargo beds on M796 bolster trailers. Don't recall if they were long though?

    M107A1 Water Buffalo Questions?

    I am thinking of just cutting the boxes off as all 4 pieces are really crummy and hinges beat up and just use 2 m149 boxes that bolt on and preserving the clasps that are unique to the m107. Compromises to keep it as original as possible. I have found only data plates for M107A2C so that is...

    M107A1 Water Buffalo Questions?

    I have had no luck in finding them for a m107, part number 8384106 nsn 5342-00-420-4988. I think that since they are welded, maybe not replaced often and I think these trailers were 60-70's manufacture. Not sure when the last M107A2C were produced?

    M107A1 Water Buffalo Questions?

    Is that your beauty? Most awesome workmanship. Yes my boxes are welded like that but definitely don't look like those. They are dented, rusted. and just plain beat up.... I might have GoldnEagle help me fabricate replacements or cut the remains off and use M149 bread boxes but I can only find...

    Odd tire failure

    Tire is probably ok as is just went flat. Maybe jack up and leave supported till you can get to it. For piece of mind, change tube if that is the problem and rotate to a rear position and vice versa.

    Odd tire failure

    I would 2nd the tubes. Had 2 old ones fail previously. Old tires will hold up longer than the tubes....

    M116A3 - First Overland Trailer Build!

    Easiest thing would be to just change your riser to a taller one. I assume you have a class 3 or 4 reciever hitch, so they are easy to find. With the multiple holes you can always adjust down with other equipment. They are not too outrageous. Pic of my set up.; not an expedition but a tahoe...
