A long shot I am sure, but looking for the heater control unit that controls the heater (and the cable that attaches the control unit to the heater. NSN for the heater is:

PORTABLE HEATER,

I was watching four service kits in a GP auction today, something you used to be able to pick up for a few hundred bucks. The lot today of 4 kits sold for over $3,700 and had 80 bids. Is this what it's going to be like from here on out??
Behind the heater is a pair of connectors on the harness behind the heater for the tach and all of the switches that were used for the winch. You just don't have the branched harness that plugs into it that was included with the winch kit.
I suggest you move this to the HMMWV section so that it gets seen by all of the folks that have them versus sitting in a section on electrical that doesnt get a lot of looks. Guy? @Guyfang
I guarantee you that the folks here (really knowledgeable guys) can help steer you to getting the missing parts and getting it running again. Be patient, take and show lots of pictures and read the TM's before you ask questions. This is a great community, they just don't like doing all the work...

Your pump and the hand pump need to be rebuilt. There are several write ups in here on both. 20 + year old seals have gone bad. I know Colt did a video on rebuilding the pump, and I am sure there are also probably videos of rebuilding (or replacing) the hand pump. Have you checked the fluid...
NSN is the National Stock Number, or basically the US government part number. It is the best way to guarantee the correct part. For example, find out what you get when you google this one: 7310-01-452-8137. In the 24P TM for this genset, you can find the exploded diagrams, identify the part by...
