. Nicely written description of and discovery of the problem! I almost wonder if the "working plug" was a pipe thread and the "used shiny plug" was a straight thread... Glad you managed to find the problem.

. Sgt Tibbs looks like he is interested in what you are doing... Go man go!

. Loose Clamps? Is one hose larger than the other? Maybe the hose is too large to fit onto the "stub" that you attached the hose to?

. Yes Sir! The DECELERATOR peddle will definitely make you feel strange... I remember having a D16 with a cable plow behind it, and "the new guy" wanted to drive it - just because he could. I was standing beside the seat after I set him up to drive forward. As he came to the end of the row...

. Need to get a DOT Certified connector. I would get it from a truck stop or truck parts supplier. .

. Like @87cr250r said (just above) you can use any DOT brake fluid that you want to use. Naturally, DOT 3 is a lot less expensive. DOT 5 is "better" if you run through water. DOT 3 worked for YEARS Just Don't mix them (DOT 3 and DOT 5)

. It will be in the upload section briefly, then it will get moved into the Miscellaneous TM Section https://steelsoldiers.com/forums/misc-tms.122/ https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/tamper-vibrating-type-internal-combustion-engine-driven-model-rc48-2-nsn-3895-01-383-6488.219251/

. Those bronze filters can generally be washed out. Hang on to it - just in case the others have them as well. .

. My guess is that the solder joint that held the overflow tube in place - cracked and just was pulled off and thrown on the ground. I don't know that I have ever seen an overflow box to collect the "spew". Yes, I would think brazing would be the trick...

. Wow! Yeah, I can't imagine that much power being pulled. We have a 5 horse compressor right outside my window and it runs on 30 amps of "juice"

. Yes sir, it almost looks like a 80's Chevrolet defroster / heater blower.

. Now that is a good idea... .

. Take a look at this post... https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/just-bartered-for-a-trailer-please-help.219111/post-2563480

. Congratulations! Yeah, getting the right tool for the job helps a lot. The bearings look pretty good...

. Yes Sir! Back when we were loading M4 Tractors with steel track - that hangs off both edges of the trailer by about 6 inches - gets pretty scary "rain or shine".

. AND, you noticed that it had just rained... Street and sidewalk are wet. .

. I agree with @Mogman . You are in Florida. You should be able to crank easily enough on 6 GP's. .

. Looking good! .

. Yes Sir, that sounds like a good plan - and a quick wash-down with a hose when you make it to your destination will clean it up nicely...

. Yes sir. I am thinking that sand or bedliner sprayed onto the metal would help the slippery condition considerably. I used oak decking on my flatbed 3 axle trailer when I decked it last year. I have walked on it in the rain and it does fairly well. No slipping and falling - Even when...
