    M149A1 Water Buffalo with A2 Tank.

    Well it’s all finished except for stenciling. Tows great empty around town and does really well when full around the ranch. Truck was in 4L when towing it this morning around the ranch. Up and down hills were comfortable. I know when it’s half full it will be a completely different story and...

    m1102 bed anchors ..?

    www.crofttrailer.com might have them. It’s a standard pocket tie-down. I just saw some for sale a few days ago when searching for something else. Can’t remember now what site it was. The manufacturers almost always never deal with individuals/civilians.

    Replacement Fast/High Idle Solenoid?

    A huge lot of NOS ones were on GovPlantet recently. Those on eBay could be from that. Excellent info I bought two myself at $60 each. Use the best offer feature.

    Losing fuel prime many things done already, still won't run unless bled

    Again, until you replace all the rubber lines, every single one, your wasting your time. That should have been one of the very first things done to the truck.

    Replacement Fast/High Idle Solenoid?

    A sizable lot of them just sold out on eBay. I intended to buy one for a spare, forgot about it and missed out. Amazon used to have them but that is no longer the case.

    Fuel filter drain leaking

    I second the o-ring. The spin-on filter takes up too much real estate for me. Original design still works just fine. The original fuel filters are plentiful and easy to replace.

    M149A1 Water Buffalo with A2 Tank.

    Well she’s 95% finished. Still have plumbing to hook up and stencil work to do. Very happy to find new mounts for the tank. Will redo the safety wire correctly on the hard tank mounting brackets. Whomever did it last was horrible at it.

    M149A1 Water Buffalo with A2 Tank.

    The original style faucets are almost impossible to fine. I’ve had zero luck anyway. Plumbing pics are easy to find. Some of the original parts are not.

    s280 shelter questions

    I just laid the plywood down and didn’t attach it to anything. The 3/4” is fairly heavy and stays put extremely well. Doesn't move at all when walked on. I was just in mine this morning and it’s nice and toasty.
