If the Craigslist seller bought it at a GP auction, he can still get it after paying the fee.
Then he could hand it over to you.
Other methods already mentioned.
I see that in the pic and that will work great.
Recommend same thing anyplace the hose has a chance of rubbing on anything, including the other braided hose.
Braided line is extremely tough, but not infallible, and these trucks aren't the smoothest in the vibration department.
Finally was successful in finding some information on this unit.
It's not a TM and not even the TO that's listed on the NF-2D unit, but this will cover the engine and generator.
Those are a known problem.
Several threads about them.
A lot of guys will drill/tap the insert for a bolt and washer to keep it from popping off.
Others weld something there to prevent it coming off.
Fun part (NOT) is getting it back on.
Driveshaft should be easier to fix.
Looks really good.
Dont forget to secure the braided line to the fenderwell.
It will chafe the heck out of it if it's allowed bounce around.
Also Recommend to put somethkng beteeen the hoses so they don't rub against each other.
Now you'll never have to worry about where to get replacement...
I just installed a brand new cooper/brass radiator.
Did a separate CUCV thread with pictures a week or so ago.
Extremely happy with it.

Never heard back from Kohler via email, so called them today.
Success!!!!!!
They sent me the manual for the engine/generator set in PDF format.
Specs/schematics/etc.
Covers engine, generator, and remote panel.
Cant figure out how to upload PDF file to the TM section.
SUCCESS!!!!
Called Kohler this morning.
Cusromer service was extremely helpful!
Told him what I had and the model/serial numbers.
He knew by that when it left factory and still had a complete users manual on file.
Sent it to me in PDF format
Exactly what I was looking for.
Its not a TM...
Best to talk to your local DMV for any limitations a historic tag might carry with it.
Same with antique tags.
Seems like most guys have theirs tagged normal.
I have mine tagged as a farm truck since it does daily duties on the ranch.
I bought it at Atwood's. A local farm and ranch supply chain.
Their called Black Jack. Made by Butler Jacks (same company who makes the tongue jacks for the M1101/2).
I don't own a M105 trailer so I can't answer that.
Sure you can weld it on, but that's a big trailer.
Look at their...
Power washed both trailers today.
Amazing how nasty they can get just sitting under trees.
Bought new 5k swivel jacks (Butler Jack) for them also.
Will weld the bases on this weekend.
My lower back will definitely be happier.
That looks good!
what size?
-6 or -8?
If you can, post what fittings, adapters, etc that you used. Part numbers too.
Guys are always looking for an alternative.
I know the hose itself won't last forever, but Aeroquip fittings/hose are a lot easier to find than the original lines.
Acdelco...
