Mine came with two of those armasafes as well, but I didn’t even attempt to charge them. The batteries were clean and looked new although the dates said they were about 7 yrs old, so I didn’t even think about trying to restore them. I still have them, so I may try and check the fluids and see...

Most everyone that has an R1 variant seems to have a 3 speed, including myself. I was hesitant to bid on my R1 but I got lucky and have a solid HMMWV. I got it cheap compared to what most running ones are going for now. It needed some obvious parts and some TLC but it is in good overall shape as...

The 4 speed will have park and 3 speed won’t have a park option.

I have the 6.5L. All my paperwork on it says 6.5L as well. I believe all of the R1 were upgraded to the 6.5 when they upgraded them to the heavy variant. The 6.2 motor wasn’t robust enough for the heavy trucks.

This is just a guess, but if the transmission and transfer case were low mileage and in good shape, they probably didn’t change them out. I know there is no way to know for sure about mileage, but my unit has less than 3000 miles and the motor reflects that too I think.

Looks great! Thanks for the extra pictures. For anyone interested, I found this link on the R1 designation, although I know my recap did not include the 4-speed transmission. Wondering why many weren't upgraded to the 4-speed transmission now? U.S. Army Weapon Systems Handbook 2012 (fas.org)

My serial number is in the 600000 range as well and I also have the 3 speed transmission. My serial number is 602733, and I never seem to find anything talking about the 1097R1 with serial numbers in the 600s. Nice job on your refurb, hope mine looks that good in the near future. Just curious...

Yep, mine has three large belts to the generator and one smaller belt that runs only the power steering I believe. I assumed maybe they used three belts so if one broke, you would have backups and enough to keep it generating power, but that might not be the case at all, so I could be wrong on that.

After cleaning up the inside of my 1097R1, I finally found a plate that shows the correct manuals, and it does appear that I should be treating mine as an A1. It seems someone tore the plate off somehow during use, and it was in the floor under a lot of junk and trash. It looks like my unit sat...

Mine has a 3 speed. Came from Hooks, TX.

This is great. Thanks so much for your help!

Mine doesn't have that. Are those manuals for the 1097A2? If so, many thanks.

I still cannot find a single manual that says it is for a 1097A2 model? Maybe I just don't know enough about them to still understand the numbering. I hate to ask again, but can someone point me to the correct TM for service, maintenance and repairs for this model?

Great, that points me in the right direction. Thanks for the feedback.

Serial # is 602733

I just purchased the above machine and need some help. I can't seem to find a TM Manual with this designation, can someone point me in the right direction please? This is my second purchase. My first was an S&S M1078 LMTV, and I have enjoyed restoring, tinkering and driving it, so I now wanted...
