Lubricating and Service Trailer, ENG-3

[Desert Deuce]

Hey Guys, I just pulled the ENG-3 out today to it give a wash. It came in from Goose Creek about a month ago. Haven't started it yet, it had been in dry storage since being almost completly rebuilt in Luxembourg. It came with all of it's records in a very nice woodland camo record book. It's virtually new. It got a new coat of Sand Carc in 05. Bateries are new and the records say they are dry charged. I need to buy acid. It was also manufactured right here in the valley (Phoenix) by Elliot Machine Works in 1969.

I love this thing. It's going to be very valuable servicing the Motor Pool.

Very Nice mine had all the lights stripped off and many bolts removed. Adam was kind enough to bring it up to my home but I have not laid eyes on it. I am quite sure mine has a newer rebuilt engine in it too. Does yours have the electronic ignition? Judging from the pictures you must be a great parker to get all of those vehicles in that small garage.

Outstanding!

Looks great!!

David, thats a negative on the electronic ignition... unless they mounted it differently in these units.

Very nice! Looks like it's almost brand new! Must be the dry air in the Southwest.

I would never have a purpose for something like that - not enough vehicles yet. Maybe if I open my own Jiffy Lube company for military vehicle owners. Yeah, I'll call it, uh, "Lube, Military, DS and GS Maintenance-Specified, Jiffy."

Wow. I wan to build one of these on an M514 trailer. Problem is the parts would cost an arm and a leg.

It really looks brand new! Here is a PS mag note that may help:

Thanks for the great replies,

Ryan, these lift right off the trailer. I seem to remember some pictures on here of one of these in Vietman on the back of a deuce or pipe truck. Would be easier to transfer one.

Bjorn, Thanks for the info, funny thing, the tanks are all new inside and have not had anytrhing in them since rebuild. But there was water in 2 of them. In the picture from the front you can see that the drain plugs from those 2 tanks are sitting between the lids of the right and middle tanks.

It just got here to the desert, it had been in dry storage in Europe, Luxenbourg.
