Work on my M816. I exchanged a rear wheel cylinder. No issues after. Need to add back to spares. I have been fighting the truck not wanting to start. I replaced the control box and truck seems happy now. Need to add back to spares.

I have recently acquired an M561 and I am quite interested to learn all that I can about this MV. Thanks so much to all M561/792 owners in this thread for their info. I am in need of 1 of the flex lines between the fuel tank and the hull, and some other parts that I probably don’t even know...
