    Washer Pump / Bottle Grommet

    Search pael plugs on McMaster Carr website. Measure the hole diameter and put that in the filter. Not the cheapest route but that’s where I bought mine.

    2003 M1078 A1/ Tell me about the push button Light Switch Please

    press Ser Drive then enter for head lights. Most of the time I have to press enter very hard and hold it and sometimes multiple times. Some times repeat the process. The enter button isn’t the most responsive. I did open it up and clean some green oxidation off but it didn’t seem to help.

    CAT OEM Parts Source?

    I never call for that reason, I go there in person to order parts then go back typically the next day and pick them up. And even there in person parts guys are typically not the friendliest. I don’t think they like dealing with individuals as customers.

    Getting LMTV from Hawaii

    Mine came from Pensacola Fl where I think they used it in for high water rescue after hurricane Katrina. It had lots of surface rust and like previously stated Ospho is great then I used POR15.

    Getting LMTV from Hawaii

    I would love to buy one just for parts. When an alternator can cost $2,500 and I could buy the whole vehicle for less. Just need to ship it to Florida.

    When they sell for $1,000 it’s very tempting! What island are they on?

    Fiberglass would be the way to go but will take a lot of work. FYI ( for your information) I purchased one of these to measure the wind speed above the cab. I needed to know what it was before I committed to installing the mini splits out side unit on the front of the habitat above the cab...

    What are you skinning the curved part with? Are you going to leave it accessible for storage?

    Pneumatic actuators are excellent and clean. When I worked for the animated robotics company (Sally Corporation, in Jacksonville FL) all our characters were pneumatic and was always fun getting the speeds correct to match the type of movement. Disney uses hydraulics in all of there characters...
