    M116A3 Jack Leg repair

    One of the ways to distinguish rear legs is the shape of the landing pad. Most I have seen are round. I use the stock mount for the front handle and it is robust. If pin is ok, it won't go anywhere without human intervention. I have 10,000 miles towing mine all over the states.

    M939 Oil Change, Best Oil, Tips and Tricks

    I 2nd that. Fleetguard sells the conversion plate. Change to a modern spin on filter and there are many choices for filter such as extended capacity and life etc. Canister technology is way old school and much better choices now. Not that expensive. Use a baldwin or fleetguard. Baldwin OB-1368...

    Door Kit Companies

    SECO is a surplus military dealer not a manufacturer and they might actually be reselling the Breton. Compare the prices and that should tell you if they are selling older surplus or trying to make a few $ re selling them. The speedy stitcher works great and not hard to use. I have done several...

    MRAP Maxxpro Seats

    I am afraid most folks on here can not help as the Tm's are restricted and not available to the public. Maybe post some pictures as some mrap seats do come out surplus every once in a while?

    Connector to HMMWV 200 amp umbilical !!NOT slave cable plug!!

    I don't believe this is the same connector. It is smaller in diameter. The OP is looking for the one behind the passenger seat coming out of the battery box. It is optional equipment only used on shelter carriers and maybe special purpose set ups for radio, radar and such. Maybe contact ...

    HMMWV Mysteries

    The ones on the tailgate just are grooved and the panel slides down into it. The hood panel had holes and fits over those pegs and gets held in by hairpin fastners. Maybe google combat Id panels. Some pics have been posted on here in the past.

    HMMWV Mysteries

    Brackets on hood and rear tailgate are to hold thermal combat Id panels. They are typically not available and removed when vehicles are stripped of restricted items by drmo. Brackets on wheels are to attach cables for air transport by helicopter. I would be interested in the ones on the hood...

    Wait Light Stays Lit and Dimmer Switch Relationship Assistance needed

    I had the same issue we with the wait light. It would not go off. I have the older box with yellow label. Changing the water temp sensor tsu for the box in the crossover pipe fixed my problem.

    I bought a "Not operationally checked" MEP-803A what can I expect?

    all fluids drained and batteries missing is part of the drill when it is surplused by DRMO. Not unusual to find this on even running equipment. Freon is also typically evacuated. Could mean nothing or a fried puppy. Just no way to know till you fill her up and fire her up "hot".....

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    That clearance light looks like an Aurora which were I suspect some of the first LEDs. Remember some on the m939's out of shelby had them

    GovPlanet Chambersburg, PA

    Good to know what Carriers are thieves. In my Napa Warehouse Manager days down here, R&L, Roadway, and Saia were good carriers that did my outbounds that did not go on NAPA corporate trucks.
