Well it looks like the diaphragm in the primer pump - part of the "primary filter water separator adapter" #30 is not playing nice. Can't get anything out of the outlet port when manually pumping or cranking.
Do any of the mil parts dealers carry NoS Detroit spares? I am sure that the regular...
I see them all there thanks. -20-2 says -10 is where the "Prime Fuel System" is found, but -10 is operator, manual.... I should have recognised that number, however the -10 doesn't have priming instructions, only filling...
Need to 'Prime Fuel System' as I have a no start situation. Trucks been standing for a while and primary fuel filter has dried!!?? No fuel comes from the sediment drain on base of #1 filter.
TM 9-2320-363-10 is not in (the TM section of) this site.
Thanks
Two of the four 6TL batteries have died (8.5 and 10.1 volts - 0 charge), I went to the local battery store (yes, Interstate specialist who have supplied pallets of 6TL's to local armory/base).
I had followed their suggestions for 'rejuvenating' them with standard (heavy duty charger on wheels)...
Maybe these people have figured it out...

My 10c fix...
I have a small gauge extension lead connected to a small window "candle" lamp holder with a red painted night light that hangs near the basement door. When the power goes out and I hook up the genny, I hang two short bare wire hooks - with insulated connection to the extension...
Dang - shame I just saw this thread. I'd be up for this but we're just about to leave for holiday at the beach and to get the boy back to college.
Eric - fancy a quick recovery from Drum then I'll do the rest when I get back....?
Is this what the TM says? So does this mean that you won't be fitting a tail chain and hook?
What is the capacity of the winch? I can't imagine that twice the cable and the snatch block would always be deployed if the amount of "stuck" is within the limits of the winch. It will still self...
Because the Army had a different specification - as Suprman said.
You are assuming that this is a problem... The real purpose of the chain is to wrap around something - axle, damaged vehicle frame, tree...... without committing one of the biggest faux-pas of winching - wrapping the cable...
Welcome fellow "Roverite"!!
NJ is very healthy for Rover activity though predominantly civi ones - I am off to a do there early Aug - maybe 25 of all ages, probably only a few ex-mod.
Our Rover do is in Nov - upstate NY, great crowd and lots of off roading....
How about making a lunette eye hitch extension/converter for the front of the trailer - quick attach to the kingpin of the trailer? I am sure the wreckers pintle hitch is up to it..
NB. This a purely an idea.
Extension of 'frame' to the left of the pic, then chaining to trailer frame would...
Not sure if they were connected, but we recently drove along 70 (4th July weekend) and there was a complete wrecker body at the front of a small yard, on the South side a few miles West of Kinston, maybe 11 miles... I seem to remember a "Kinston 12" mile sign some time after I saw the wrecker...
Not sure what the regs are in AZKSMOOK (not sure about the pronunciation of that one), but in snowy NY - you can have trailered equipment without a registration so long as it has all the reqd DoT lights HOWEVER, if you have so much as one wrench in the smallest of tool boxes - it turns into a...
The trailer has a full width, collapsible gooseneck - not a removable gooseneck (RGN). On the front of the gooseneck, there is a clevis/pin.
To hook up the trailer, tractors winch cable is attached to the clevis.
Tractor then winches up the gooseneck with it's parking brake OFF and it gets...
That has got to be the greatest compliment - I hope we don't have to wait too long for Soni's reaction!!!
Like the M870 trailer and the Unimog wrecker too!!!
About to tackle this job - had to do a 'reply' so I can find the thread again! Thread tool - subscribe etc...
Search for "Drum" was the closest I found - even then I had to wade through a load of irrelevant postings. Winch drums etc. NB. Search for "brake drum" gave rise to too much on the air...
