Yea That was fairly common damage to these. You will never find new parts. Best bet is post the pictures in the parts wanted forum. It’s simply the tow bar and swivel plate. I’ve seen a lot worse. Either fix what you have or hope you find another unit someone is parting out. Watch GP for...

Trailer looks good. Any plans to add the stencil markings?

A picture would help

I never found the TO for this. It’s restricted for some reason and my FOIA request went unanswered. The manuals for the engine and generator are posted in the TM section but never found anything for the rest of the unit. The tow bar and steering setup, wheels/tires, etc were used on several...

Yes Didn’t receive a response from VM or email

I do not know. I picked it up from the GP yard in Abilene, Kansas Just figured it was Army since so close to Fort Riley. I found the commercial parts, user and maintenance manuals online for the engine only. The pump is a different story. American-Marsh was no help. All I need to know really...

Parts arrived today New fuel filter and hose. Should be enough hose to replace them all. Anyone who buys one will have to replace the hoses. All of the units at GP in Abilene were cracked. Will be at least another week until it’s warm enough here to start it.

Picked up this potable water pump this week. Brand new and looks to only have been started for acceptance. They didn’t even paint Unit numbers on this. Just a pump number tape that easily came off. The 1 1/2” galvanized pipe is included in the shipping crate from factory and was installed and...

I washed it and cleaned the interior and all the glass inside and out. I can actually see now! Most of the factory paint is gone off the wheels and has a surface rust patina. Debating to repaint wheels or leave alone. Body needs a repaint but doubt if it ever gets one.

Used my brush hog to move trailer around. Spur of the moment move since I was driving by it with tractor. This one I leave sitting on the North acreage. I still don’t know exactly what to do with it so I just move it around every few weeks.

I wouldn’t be happy either, but……..the things that can break without it would make you really really unhappy.

So was looking under hood after checking engine oil and noticed a few grains of white stuff under the battery hold down plate. I instantly knew what that was and took it off to clean it. Corrosion has worked it way under the rubber coating quite a bit. Cleaned as best I could and banging it...

Update?

New shocks made a big difference on both of mine. Smoothed out the ride and made tow even better. I run 35-45psi for different loads and 65psi for heavy stuff. Definitely can’t hurt.

Replaced front wheel bearings today. Left front back bearing possibly had some water inside at some point but looks more like condensation buildup to me. Not sure. Was definitely making noise going down the road Rest of them looked good Now my oil cooler lines are leaking. On to that project.

You don’t have to declare it surplus and start the surplus declaration for it with your municipality so they can include it in their auction?

Yes One bigger knot using the two ends instead of two small individual knots. Works great.

Just cut rope to length desired Then insert both ends through the cover eyelet and tie a knot. You can adjust the tension as required by moving the knot. Beat part is they work just as well in the winter as they do in the summer. Bought the 100’ roll from McMaster-Carr

I used the new EPDM rubber rope and makes life so much easier. Simply pull loop down to fasten to trailer. Takes me <30 seconds to get into trailer. No loose rope No knots Super easy.
