Had an hour conversation with armyrino this week. He helped me through several questions and 101 items for these trailers. He has three and had gone through the different issues the all uniquely had. He also helped me on basic theory to get the AC fully back operational, and some workaround...

Pulled off a rookie move and didn't put the fuel cap immediate back on when refueling. It bounced off somewhere in a 1/4 mile stretch that I walked three times to find, and couldn't. I have a spare, but just pissed at myself. Anyone know if that special screw in the cap is a one time thing?

I knew that looked a little funny, but that's the only pict I could find from the Buffalo with the ladder showing. Guess no one like rear ends...

And they have free shipping coupons off retailmenot all the time, which make it REALLY hard not to get them.

FYIW, they say it's tubular steel, so assume it's steel all the way. They did also have a ramp / ladder for $60, all aluminum. 66 lbs. 82". Just passing it on. I bought a ladder off eBay (the 80" aluminum 6 step one)

Looks like Sportsman's Guide has some boarding ladders from an MRAP, $100. Wondering how this would work out on a M925A2, if it fits on the top of the tailgate, or even goes over it to the bed. With the ladder on, I couldn't open the tailgate if secured to the bed, and it's 86 lbs, so don't...

Will, the unit's fuel was drained, and i couldn't get any from the pickup via the primer bulb. Its still possible there was water in there that couldn't get out, I will have to park it on a hill to get all of it if I drain it again. I put in 5 gallons, and might just drain it out again just to...

And by "yellow plastic ones" I mean these, which I've never dealt with. And what / where is the fuel selector valve? It's not in the pict. EDIT: I guess these are fairly common and are just the stoppers and the barbs are underneath...

Well, this thread turned into my repair thread. Maybe a mod can change the title to be something like "20kW generator - GET trailer recovery" or "How many questions can therooster2001 ask" or something MWMULES like. Started the engine up, and it runs for about 5 min then starts to stutter...

Thanks Will, can you send over or upload in the same spot? Jon, since you graciously volunteered. What state do they usually leave these AC units? Drained or full of nitrogen? Do you think I need to vacuum pump it before I try and charge? The TM says do this 3 times if drained.

My unit came in with the fluids partially drained. Oil was at about 1/3, coolant drained, and fuel registered 1/8, but no pressure at the prime. I have not fired up the AC yet or hooked up gauges to see if there is a partial charge, but it's probably gone. Mine is a Nordic Air and data plated...

Got it on Saturday, and power washed it today. It had the North Carolina green funk on it, with a TON of mud. Kaboom and Krud Cutter works great, as well as a power washer and a green scrub pad. Found that the trailer light cable is a little too dry rotted for me, so ordered a replacement...

Well, I scored two Optima's refurbished for $70 each OTD, they checked out at 800 CCA, so I think I'm good now. Auction pict only had one side of the engine battery shown missing, the other was not revealed, so I might actually have one in there. Will, good to know on the water in the fuel...

Thats a great overview shot. Well, Optima red it might have to be. Thanks for digging in!

Ok. So the question remains. What battery? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, it's labeled Hanco, but that's the actual generator. Plenty of these just came out. http://www.govplanet.com/jsp/s/item/866424?h=6-22 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am getting my generator trailer on Sunday, but it's doesn't have batteries. Previous auction pics show Optima red tops. Besides those, anyone recommend a good replacement (two obviously). I want to make sure I know how many CCA and a good fit in the compartment and ability to be secured...

What coolant did you put in? Assuming an ELC as stated, but which brand? ELC and SCA's are different animals. And dude, that's some crappy coincidence. Bummer...

What have I done to my HMMWV? Nothing. Colorado auctions are brutal, and not just for HMMWV's. I watched another lot go by. They went over 2K above what seems to be relatively normal elsewhere. I've ranted about this before. I had to get my MKT from 3 states over, paid the same amount to...

Those are darn good welds... I am always impressed by how good some people can fabricate, there is real genius in your end product. I saw you mention CARC a couple of times. Unless you want this really original paint, use the Behr stuff. Cheaper, covers nice and can be sprayed, although...
