M149A2 Water Buffalo. (New To Me)

[scranch18121]

New to me. Just picked it up. Plan to clean it up, paint to match the Deuce, make sure plumbing is working and proper, replace landing gear, title, tag and use it.

Congrats on a great acquisition. We have two of the older M107s. We use them a lot. Everything from Boy Scout camping to construction sites.

To cool! Want one to pull in parades.

AHH, grasshopper, glad I could help in the acquisition and that is my NEXT purchase for sure. LOVE YOUR NEW WATER TRAILER.

You should consider one of these so you have cold AND HOT water...

Triton 10L Hot Water Heater - Camp Chef - The Way to Cook Outdoors

that's the larger one - Triton makes a smaller one that we bought to wash our dogs outside... but the water trailer should produce enough water pressure to work great

Like I said, MY NEXT acquisition - LOVE YOURS - will probably want help finding one WHEN I GET TO THAT POINT

Nice looking water buffalo.

One thing I would look at doing to your new trailer is to trun the lid around.
The TM shows the hinge on the front of the lid. Yours and most of the newer one I seen have it at the back. No big deal but alot of the ones you see on GL have NO lid. I think that with the hinge on the back if you forget to latch it down it come open and then rips off. Mine has 4 broken bolts on the back where a hinge was, and no lid. By the way the lid is made of unoptainum or gold if you fine one.

Great advice. Move it 180 degrees before I paint it is added to the list.

Great looking trailer. Wish we had one of these.

Is too bad it doesn't have a connection for a swingfire heater. That makes quick work of heating up any water. Our water buffalo tank has a connection for the heater as well as fold-down taps.

But your unit is still really nice. Will go great with your MKT

It may be clean on the outside, but the inside is what makes them worthless or usable, if you plan on drinking from it it....

Tank is nice and clean. Just need to check the plumbing. Then disinfect the entire system, fill it up, and have it tested just to make sure it's good to go.

Now your list is complete. Oh, except for a winch. Want to trade a water buffalo for one?

Nice save! Always great having a water tank around at events, rallies, camping trips, etc.

You are right. Now the search is on to change the Deuce from a W/OW to a W/W.
