Wasn't referring to a search. Just go through the old threads and read the ones that apply to your trailer. The information you come across is invaluable. That’s what I meant about answers to questions you haven’t thought of yet. It does take some time but is well worth it.

I’m waiting for the review of it as well. Definitely not for really heavy loads but looks to be fine for most users.

I will be calling the Folks at Hawker after the Holidays. Last thing I want to do is trash $1500 worth of battery’s.

Wrong.

TMs and manuals are constantly updated once published as mentioned above. No updates inserted/installed and you will be reading out of date information. I think this HP horse has been beaten enough.

Decal is original. Clean air filter housings do exist. All 1986 and 1987 manufactured CUCVs have this very decal. Straight from factory. My 1987 filter housing cracked and I replaced it with one from a 1986 made CUCV.

It’s the feds That will mind.

Alternators are factory GM stock Delco units. Both have been professionally rebuilt Voltmeter and DMM showing they are working perfectly. I’m not having battery or charging issues. The alrcraft battery charger is for future use if/when a problem does arise. If I can even use it...

This air filter housing is off a 1986 CUCV. My busted original housing from 1987 had identical decal.

You know they make an adapter for a pintle to a 2” receiver. No cutting or welding required. Croft trailer sells them. https://www.crofttrailer.com/h3la3-croft-ring-to-coupler-adapter/

Emissions label on side of air cleaner. Edit: see pics in posts below. The pics did not load correctly in this post.

I use NOCO smart chargers on my optima red and blue tops. They do very well. I need to do some more research before using the aircraft charger. Will give the Hawker Battery folks a call and talk to them and see what they say.

The Hawkers are AGM.

I was recently given a 24V aircraft battery charger. It’s an older one but in excellent condition. A switch can change it from just powering the aircraft to 50A battery charging mode. It is an automatic charging system and not just a straight charger. Is 50A too much for a stock NATO system...

You get what you pay for. Many different noname/cheap brand lights are advertised for jeeps and such. Good Quality LED headlights cost a lot more than $100. Yes there is a difference. Quality, reliability, beam pattern, longevity, light color, materials and so on. One can save money on...

Updates?

Also be aware that the federal/state tax man doesn’t like things like this.

Look on the side of the engine air cleaner where the emissions label clearly states (for 86/87 years anyway) 155hp.

Read the old threads about your model trailer. A ton of information in them and answers to questions you haven’t even thought of yet.
