Those were exactly my thoughts. If a vehicle was cannibalized there wouldn't likely be a crate to store it in either. It would go straight into the vehicle that needed it. I'm trying to picture a scenario where a good tank is removed and put into a crate that a new tank came out of.....but...

After taking a break from this project, I pulled out the injection pump today. I'm going to soak it in penetrant, and carb cleaner. I can't actuate the pump by hand making me believe it's stuck. My question is should I be able to move it freely by hand? When I took out the 3 nuts holding it down...

Fuel tanks come up occasionally, and sometimes in the crate, and sometimes not, but they look used. I was trying to figure out why a fuel tank would be removed from the vehicle in the 1st place if it was good. I was apprehensive to bid thinking there must be something wrong with it. I can't...

Hello, I just picked up what looks like the same unit. It is a 2009 PowerSystems unit with the John Deere 3 cyl engine. After adding coolant and oil, and batteries I want to see it run, hope it will. Quite a few hours on it, almost 3K. I'm sure there are do's and don'ts in the starting procedure...

The date on the manual is 1991. Maybe the difference is it's updated?

They are close the 1st 4 numbers are 4940 on the TM, and 4910 on the trailer. The rest of the numbers are the same.

I determined that the spring should open the valve, it's just stuck. There are 2 generators on the trailer. I took the same cover off the other generator engine, and it was stuck too. Pushing as hard as I could with my thumb where the spring would push, this valve popped open, and working it has...

I saw those drawers in the new models, very nice. My old model has tool boxes in cubbies...not very handy. The main tools don't look like mine either. I'm surprised a nice unit like that would be surplus.

Looking at the picture of the trailer....that system looks modern, and really nice. I bet you're happy with that trailer! Mine looks like an antique by comparison. On my way home with it, a guy at the gas station thought mine was an old generator trailer. I think mine was used, but nothing was...

While the configuration of the trailers, and setup are different, probably the parts used are similar. I would really like to see one in action being used. There are parts of the system that I know I'm missing, but I know I can do without. There is a solvent tray, tank and pump I don't have, but...

By the looks of mine, and the many layers of paint, when they say over 5 years, I would say way over 5 years. That said there are lots of new supplies, and quite a few new pipe bending tools. I'm trying to figure how they are used. Some of these things fit together one way or another. I need...

On the paper stickers it has on it says it's 4910010365784. The metal plates don't have that number stamped and everything else is sun bleached totally. I'm not super confident it has the NSN# it came with. Hopefully it's right. The date on the plate has 12/78 etched by hand.

I believe mine is the old one. It's from 1978. It is on a M116a1 trailer, and it looks like the one in that thread from 2014, but I have only seen a few pictures to compare old, and new. Thanks

In trying to figure out how the IP operates, I pulled off the cover held on with 2 cap screws. Under that there is a spring, that I think should push down on a rod that opens fuel to the IP. When there is no power to the shutoff solenoid it holds the spring from opening the fuel. When I pull the...

I'm not expecting to find any parts, but if they are available, I would be interested, but that is secondary to how the unit operates. What good are the parts if you don't know how to use them? My son wants me to scrap the hydraulic stuff, and make it into a regular tool trailer. He thinks we...
