Speddmon, thank you for the info about the buttonhead fittings. I went back this morning and did a search under that heading and found that you had answered my question about these fittings which I have never seen before. I wound up with about six of these in my trailer but no way to use them...

Getting ready to stock my lube trailer with fluids and looking over this thread very carefully. I have never changed out the gear lube in any of my components and I imagine it is about time to do so. My truck is a 1968 Kaiser Jeep M35A2C. I appreciate all of the information in this thread...

I wanted to completely drain the fuel tank and thoroughly clean the bottom real good but I have to keep my truck in running order in case I get a visit from our local code enforcement people. I hope to change out my filters tomorrow and then have my buddy Lavarok turn up the fuel on my I.P. a...

Thanks for the compliment Desert Deuce. I love your trailer and wish mine were half as nice! Eventually I will get everything working but for now just obtaining a few parts will be the top priority. Do you live in Phoenix? A friend of mine lives out there or at least his wife does anyway -...

Here's the video of the trailer as mentioned in my previous post - just finished processing.

I am "adding on" again, this time with some modifications that I have made which are going to assist me in getting the system up and running. I bought three 1/2" ball valves over at Harbor Freight Tools today and installed them on the lead-in hoses to each of the pumps. I can turn off the pump...

I forgot one photo of some oddball parts that came with my lube trailer called "Button Head Fittings". Looks like something that would go on a bulldozer or very large piece of heavy equipment of some sort. Anyone know how these are used? I think I have about six of these and my buddy Lavarok...

I am working on making my Lube Trailer functional once again and just ordered a new lubricant meter valve from Northern Tools (on sale right now). I still need one more of these, preferably a mechanical unit like the ones that came with the trailer so if anyone has one they want to sell, PM me...

I just replaced mine - what a mess! I think someone ran used motor oil in this thing without filtering it! I bought the pump off of an Ebay seller but had to modify the positive wire because of it being too short to reach the top of the tank cover. My concern right now is whether the...

Thanks for the tip! I never would have figured this out otherwise. Now I will have to search out the Lube Order and Tech Manuals for my trailer.

Start by checking to see if your fuel pump is working; you can do this by cracking open the bleed valve on top of the fuel filter and having someone crank the truck while you watch for fuel flow. You can do this by yourself if you hook some plastic tubing to the bleed valve and run the other...

I noticed in one of your photos that you have a totally different roller system in your trailer - mine has full-length rollers that turn on very crude spindles and bases. If you look closely at the photos you will see that one side of the roller shaft slips into a hole (probably 3/8" in...

Pictures of the battery box plus measurements coming right up. I'll do the photos first then the measurements in another post.

It's on the trailer frame. I can't find a data plate that references the actual skid mounted lube unit although there are two data plates on the enclosure. I'll try to upload the images I took of those data plates.

There's a data plate on mine which indicates the unit as an ENG-T3. I am wondering if this is the same as the ENG-3? I'll include an image of the data plate. Also found a sticker that indicates the price the military paid for the lube trailer ($23,852.00) but not sure if this is correct...

Elliott Machine Works MDL ENG-3 Portable Lubricating and Servicing Unit another name for a unit like the one I have.

porter mfr corp mdl pm92-133 lubricating & servicing unit

Not through yet! As you can see, not everything was peaches and cream with this unit! The attachments like the grease guns and metering devices for the gear lube and motor oil were all missing (at first) then I went up and looked in front of the reservoirs (there's a space in that area for...

Pictures....I was trying to load them onto the last post but I have Bellsouth Fast Access DSL and when it rains or you hear thunder in the area, the internet access shuts down every time! Each time I tried to load a photo, the DSL light started blinking - that means no internet access! It's...

Just towed mine home from Columbia South Carolina with my M1008A1 with no problems at all. I decided to use aftermarket towing lights in vice of the trailer lighting system which proved to be a great idea. I wasn't sure if the bulbs were 12 or 24 volt (probably the latter of the two). These...
