Guy is right on. These machines sit for long periods of time and often need cleaning more than replacing of parts. I would also suggest that since you're going to be in the fuel tank, I would replace the well nuts now and save the trouble down the road Call me Colt has done several videos on his...
pull the parker connectors apart. Sometimes they are not inserted properly. Just because the connector is tight doesn't mean the metal parts are connected. I have pulled a few apart over the years and found the male part is not inserted into the female side properly and not making good contact...
I believe they now have a 2 axle 8 tire version of the water buffalo trailer as I seem to recall a few going up for auction. I cannot remember the M configuration for the model, but they have them.
I have never seen that plate before and have had a couple of M1102's. There were some variants that had racks for comms gear, but I think you got a random piece from something else.
Your welcome. My first piece of Green Iron (with engines as I have had several trailers) was a M1028 dually truck. Had a lot of fun and learned a lot on this forum from those in the know. My stepson drives it as his daily now (although he has done some mods I was not fond of). My current one is...
I don't have a truck that big (M1078 with CAT 3116), but it is always good to learn more. Even if there is not a ton of folks asking questions now, preserving your knowledge on a thread may help folks down the road as more of these trucks hit the civilian market.

Was the leak from the return line coming off the hose barb? I just had to fix mine. It didn't have a hose clamp on it which allowed it to pop right off. Has one now and no more leak.
There have been a ton of threads regarding registering military vehicles in California (or not as the state is trying really hard to not allow it to happen). The CDL requirements are for 3 axles or more, but the weight is under 26,000 not 6,000. The air brakes bring a next level into the...
About this time last year, I was up at the Doyle GP yard for a pick up...they had over 100 (we tried counting but couldnt see that far down) water trailers for auction, even a few of the newer dual axle 8 wheeled variety.
It may be, but it might also be for a 5 ton, that NSN is actually for one of the bows specifically and not the kit itself. That particular NSN pops up on 9 differnt LMTV kits. 2.5 and 5 ton.
