Match the FSN to the assigned part number, AF used a lot of Trace inverters , then run a search on the items for use available for the MUNICIPAl draw. don't forget the Guard and reserve, Guard historicly does its own surplus disposal
Had the winch intructions some where and the soft top , will have to look after YOUR snow melts , ( lucked out last night only got rain, you got snow lol)
Its ok , there were other versions of the MB 4 before that, Used them in TAC for moving fighters , F 4s , 16s 15s, ect A 10s they were better than some of the pre 70s stuff, but stop gap off the shelf crap from an aircraft perspective , Air FOrce was trying to follow the Army CUCV solution and...
It aint just in TEXAS unfortunately , I live 5 miles from the nearest occupied home, cant even see my property from anywhere in town, My home is in a bowl valley at the top of a mountain , three miles up my own road, on 84 acres and I STILL GET IT !

Having said that, most jet engines have positive displacement oil pumps and seldom run prelube any more, and most use very little oil capacity compared to the 28 gallons in a J 57 PW . , In hind sight I believe the previous assertions are correct and prelube is not needed with CORRECT viscosity...
there is an easy solution that will save a lot of work, The J 69 centrifugal flow jet engine used in the T 37 tweety bird had a spring / vacuum self contained prelube in a bolt on cylinder that was about 5 inches in dia and 18 inches long, plumbs in with a discharge and return AN fitting on...
