Yep, that will shut you down safely at night. The toggle on the driver kickplate (with the red cover) is the remote activation for that relay. The switch-looking tool is a crude wet-cell battery tester. Dips into the old-acid batteries and lights up when it contacts the cell. The rubber...

I just had a chance to look at the two images I posted. I'm not sure if the A1R (green) is incorrect or not. The tank doesn't care which hole is the inlet and I'm wondering if mine is correct, just installed in opposite ports from the image Ronmar posted. Of course, I have one spare 1/4"...

Looks like my A0 and my A1R are both incorrect.

It dampened the issue (whatever it was). ;)

Disposing of oil is easy (Auto Zone, etc). Fuel? Not so much (at least down here, only the dump and it has to be containerized). I keep bad gas to start bonfires but 56 gallons would start a LOT of bonfires. Diesel does in fact have a shelf life of 6-12 months contrary to what some claim...

A can of spray degreaser and a pressure sprayer should knock it right off.

Off topic, but who do you use for shaft rebuilds ? I can't find a local in Corpus that's still open.

Appreciate the pics. I have a kit and need to rebuild my M1079 that's pissing itself.

Not sure if these are still a thing? I know Bryce has some but I've not seen Steve in awhile.

Bryce for all things high-speed gear and axle ! Seriously, it's not cheap but it's done right and he travels to do installs.

Interesting bumperettes. I'd not seen that design before.

The M1082 safety chains won't reach if the hitch is extended. The result is a sort of chain-jackknife long before full turn radius is achieved. I'm sort of glad that I noticed it as I realized how dangerously short the safety chains are on the M1082. In rough terrain that "chain-jackknife"...

Might try Scott DeWitt. He's in Corpus. Closest one I know of but there should be no shortage of takeoffs. https://advancedautomotion.com/shop/

Unit has been checked over by our shop and is fully operational And yet the new owner noticed it in his pre-flight? I get that some flippers don't replace fluids but at least give it a look when they top them off? ymmv

They are one all the '09 airdrops (even the 'lil guys). As I said, I wonder if it's an airdrop thing or just the very final A1R's. I haven't looked at the P variants yet.

You'll need to extend your safety chains if you whip that thing out. Ask me how I know...

Side note: I think all the remaining rockets have been expended. It was a NAM era system and the Blue Angles finally ran out of the ordnance.

I thought perhaps some sort of stabilizer to keep the truck inverted during it's drop...
