Draining all fluids

[bobs461]

Aloha all. I was asked if I knew someone who could drain all the fluids of all three of these beasts. Someone mentioned a person died trying to do the same thing! I assume there was a hydraulic accumulator that discharged killing that person? Does anyone have procedures on bleeding/draining the hydraulic system and all the fluids? They need it drained, so they can "dispose" these vehicles. A plus would be getting information of the weight, as it will need to lifted via crane on a lowboy. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This is my first time posting. Thanks gang!

Pictured are M113A1 series APC and M578 wrecker. Make sure everyone involved understands that these items are the property of the US Military and MUST be turned in to a DRMO office or the CMH if the organization that took them on loan is folding.

Just take the TM's and read them.
This is not the time to get hurt.
Do You have the TM's for those machines?

If not post the nomenclature of each of those machines and you can get the help you want/need.

The only thing maintenance wise that will kill you on APCs is the rear door. Disconnect the lines from the hydraulic cylinder, unlatch the door while standing under it and you will meet your maker.
