I'm not sure you should count on the 49 verified miles part of your statement. These trucks are not like your personal car where the government requires odometer certification. The speedometer doesn't even have to work... On the other hand, you may have a gem - but don't bet on it.
It would...

Ummm... That shouldn't have happened.
The small nut is the fitting that should "disconnect".
The part you are showin in the picture should still be together.

Tom, member @Floridianson should be able to answer that for you.
He has a 915 that he drives regularly.
Might even be able to offer insurance information too...

Welcome to the Outfit!
It might be worth spending a weekend sitting in the right seat and going through the fuse panel cleaning it up. Before you start, disconnect the batteries! What you want to do is clean the contacts in the board. The windows aren't always rolled up when it rains and...

Not everybody does it, but I have air driers on my "house air" and also have water traps in that system. I don't want water in my air tools - so I would assume the same clean, dry air should be used to connect my truck to the shop air.

Wonderful power on display... Both the locomotives and the armor at the Tehachape and the second line of Abrams at Caliente. I couldn't help but capture a few frames to share with the group. Especially neat to see one of our Norfolk Southern locomotives pulling as well...

@Mavcaster , just the cans on the back axle need to be caged IF you have no air in the brake system. Yessir, I may have mis-stated. There are a total of 8 cans on the two rear axles.
Instructions are in the TM.
TM-9-2320-366-10-2
Caging Process is extracted from that TM and is attached below.

The cage bolts should be in their holders on the spring brake chambers. If they aren't there, NAPA generally has them in stock. Two of the caging bolts on the M1088 are a little shorter than the others. The shock seems to be in the way with the bolts that are a little longer.
As far as...

Yes sir, It sits there on top of the rod that runs through the spring-pack.
Best on your operation to replace the dogbones.
It has been as easy as pie at times for me - and absolutely miserable too.
Hopefully you get the easy version!
.
You could... The dogbone is inserted into a tapered (matching) part of the truck. Hitting that chunk of metal rather than trying to drive it out should be easier. Soaking with your favorite penetrating oil might help as well.
Plan to buy new U-Bolts when you find them rusted where the mud...
