There are 2 air circuits. One for the cab airbags and one when you press the hydraulic actuation valve button it send air to the air hyd pump. This control has a check valve behind it with o rings. It will unscrew and you can take a look at it. There are 2 different styles. I have the...
The 4x4 trucks have a much more compliant suspension. You don't have to have weight in the bed for them to ride ok. The 6x6, especially the the tractor, do better with a bit of weight in the back. I have had a few 1083s and they all rode ok on the highway to 55mph without significant vibration...
A friend used to buy from the US gov auctions in Italy. Not sure about other countries. I know a lot of the european countries auction off their old unimogs.
28 volt is D.C. Only. Some smaller aircraft use 28 volts. Mid size and up aircraft run on 3 phase 400hz power. So the load bank does both. The 400 amp turbine 28v DC generators can be used to jump start the smaller aircraft that run on 28v.

Same one as you have. Never got to pick it up the gov backed out of the sale. They can do that. Not the first time it happened to me. I use big 3 phase heaters to load bank bigger gens. Couple thousand for a real load bank. If the 400hz one you have is in good working shape you should have no...
Follow troubleshooting for voltage gage not working. Could be some bad connection or a lousy ground somewhere. Lots of little gremlins to work out of the machine.
Those are big bucks. Better off selling to someone who will use it for load banking ground power gens and buy yourself a nice civilian load bank with the proceeds. I won one of those a few months ago. Had the paid inv and then the gov took the thing back.
