Well I looked at it on GP and I think you got a gem. Recent rebuild at Maine Military Authority. An Army HMMWV not USMC. Not cannibalized in any way. Demil limited to removal of radio equipment. Runs like a swiss watch. I see no leaks. The 40,000 miles showing does not look accurate...

The museum should consider “destination wrenching” events where people like me could spend 3-4 days out there working on stuff.

If it comes to this, this business in Houston can manufacture anything seal related out of any material. They make packing type seals for me constantly. www.ctgasket.com

You must be using DOT 3 brake fluid. Switch to DOT 5 and never have to rebuild again ever.

Wow that’s bad news. None of those guys had any advice for this? Back in the day, you could take the master cylinder casting number into a NAPA store and get kits. I remember the clutch master cyl was the same as a brake master on forklifts and the brake master is the same as a CCKW or M135...

Can you list who you have reached out to for these parts?

Suggest you visit with War Fox Equipment in DFW aka fuzzytoaster on here for your truck. Boyce is too far away, transportation will add thousands to a deal with them.

So you want to move from paradise to Georgia? OK. I can tell you about the Army's equivalent operation at Red River Depot in Texas. You will be a cog in the wheel of an operation that takes worn out and in need of upgrade vehicles such as HMMWVs and MTVRs straight from USMC. All day long...

Is this an active, civil servant, or contractor position? Where is the depot? Is this a mechanic position or management? Kinda need to know those details to provide the insight you are looking for.

Suggest you have oil analysis run on the fluids and if everything comes back good, nothing is required to be changed. Engine takes typical 15W-40 heavy diesel truck oil.

Agree! Really nice HMMWV set they did for me.

I have a 1" impact wrench that sucks 11 to 46 CFM depending on load and yup the FMTV air system can handle it through the emergency gladhand.

Congrats on your acquisition. You have a LDT465 multifuel engine (with turbocharger) or LD465 (naturally aspirated), with a Spicer 3053 transmission. There are two air compressors, the old 2 cylinder and the new 1 cylinder. They are interchangeable.

It will run with cylinder pitting. That issue is a problem for engines expected to run 1000s of hours. For 15 minutes to air up tires, it will last forever.

Tractors are a hoot as the power to weight ratio is better than cargo trucks and they are more nimble too. Looks like you have a nice clean example there.

Good looking tug! I had a MIL-40 when I was a teenager but stupidly scrapped it.

Looks like an Illinois National Guard truck, mine was it's stablemate. Lots of rust from the salt.

I honestly don’t think they teach anything about driveshaft phasing in 91B school, there is no other explanation for SO MANY trucks coming out of DRMO with the driveshafts installed wrong. It takes 5 extra seconds to insert the spline properly.

Yes that is the serial number, it's a 1971 model. Unfortunately there is no unit information in the database. Only option is to lightly sand the bumpers for unit markings.

You bail on 880s due to severe rust, not issues with a garden variety 318. Stay the course is my thoughts.
