    CARC health hazards

    Correct. Wear a new high quality filter mask (change filter cartridge repularily). Or better yet a use a supplied air system/mask. As mentioned in the link above. Check with your local FD for an old SCBA. Lots of the old 2216psi units laying around that have little value as don't meet...

    Hitch-Bolster trailer

    If you're worried, jack it up and see if the wheels turn freely. Or plan B pull it for a mile and check if hubs are hot. If OK, and you drive with a lick of sense, pull it home. Not rocket science. Most Army trailers get little use (or maintenance). + or - depends on your point of view.

    New Toy, 65GPM Yanmar powered freshwater pump

    If 1-1/2" ggod bet that is NPSH (NPT = pipe) thread. Most mil 1-1/2" is NPSH other than some fire trucks which are NH (NST). 50ft head is only 21.7psi (water). So low pressure/low flow. for current unit see: Army TACOM, Engineered Process Pumps

    Very nise one should be coming thru Ft McCoy. Listed DRMO last month. I don't think was reused as had no engine. So a project but if as nice as represented likely worth undertaking on a 4K.
