and the chap on the other end of the phone informed me that 'at this time, we are no longer providing quotes for military gauges'. I was referred to another contact in the same firm, based in Ft. Wayne, IN.
Just an FYI to those looking. This is gonna suck for us who need these kinds of parts...
Thought I would put some hours on an 802 I swapped all the fuel lines on a couple weeks back. Come back to shut the set off to wire up the load bank (after letting it get to temp)... now there is oil everywhere. Seems I have an oil leak behind the main belt drive pulley (I can see a drip back...
I am asking about the fitting at the top of the block, and anywhere else that lines come to a junction. Does anyone have a reliable source of replacements? I've got a real nice 803 coming in with a ripping secondary leak that I need to change out in only a few days time to meet a deadline.
I've...
Howdy folks. Been buying a bunch of different cans of spray paint from Army Jeep Parts lately. Got me to thinking... what is the color that is on the engine block of these sets? Is that something readily available if I wanted to touch a block up? It looks kind of like this to me (but I am...
I am considering getting a box of terminals that will work with the blades on this switch (and anywhere else on that set that might call for this connection). Same set as the preheat is on... noticed one of the leads on the coolant temp swith had pulled out of the crimped fitting. Just want to...
So one of the last 802s I got had one of these puppies installed. Any of you whom were in the service... is this something that could be requested at some point in its operational life, or how did it get in there?

Does anyone know what size fire extinguisher should be in these? Probably info I can glean from a TM, but I was just reading an article about defective fire extinguishers on lunch break... and the thought passed my mind.
Saw this earlier perusing Linkedin for work (this company is a dealer of our products): https://www.jensentools.com/jensen-tools-gts-14250-a-u-s-army-gmtk/p/gts-14250-a
Daddy wants! The kit is over 3 grand though....
Going through an 802, and I think this **** set has gasoline in it! None of the alternate military fuels have a similar smell and consistency as gasoline, do they? I am not up on the other variations our forces use.
The day tank is currently draining. Whats the most effective way to purge the...

They have been offered through these folks for a while, at a killer $29. They have taken almost another full 33% off! They will sell out at some point, but I'd hate for someone to miss a great deal...
Some of my recent acquisitions have not included them. Just want to know if there is a reasonably priced reseller who carries them that anyone knows about. This way I can make sure the sets leaving my posession have them complete, versus just telling them to 'google it' (not really). Thanks
Any thoughts? Or do I just have to follow 2-40. COOLANT TEMP. INDICATOR. procedures outlined in the -24 manual? I don't want to overlook something dumb. Was running an 802 earlier and the set shut down. I just added a bunch more coolant since I am assuming it was low. Should have looked at the...
Hi Fellas. Need to take a nice little drive to Chambersburg to pick up a PU-797 soon. I need help identifying a missing handle for the landing gear/tongue jack.
As this is my first unit on a trailer... I am kind of in the dark on what this handle looks like. I need to know crucial this is to...
Hi Folks. Hopefully someone here can help me out. Just grabbed a PU-797 and the auction stated that I was missing a handle for the landing gear/tongue jack. I have never bought a unit on a trailer before, so can anyone tell me exactly whats missing here? Will I be able to stow this jack out of...
Are they available for purchase, less serial number? Whomever got this 802 ready for civilian sale removed both the ID plate, and the one below it that goes into fuels and other details. I'd like to find two correct for the machine, so at least the info is back on there.
