    I will talk to Doug and we can help you together. I work in Baton Rouge. I also have access to reasonable batts. They normally don't have junk there so it should just be simple to make her run. :-)

    Outboard drums on a M931A1

    The problem for tractors is water getting in causing shoes to rust up especially on trucks that sit up for long time exposed to elements. This is not seen on cargo and wreckers as much as the body tends to keep less water from seeping in.

    Picture airlift bumper mounted to front of a HMMWV??

    I suspect since the channel is probably a stock size at steel dealers. It is an easy mod done by a few units. Just drill holes and longer bolts plus you can retain the stock 1/3 bumper.

    M149A1 Water Buffalo with A2 Tank.

    The tank was upgraded to stainless on A2 from the fiberglass and also the landing gear on the A2 tend to be the dual wheel adjustable. Some of them also have the platform for a pump.

    No brake lights on trailer

    If this is for the m939 series, I suspect the stoplight switch is bad. It is on the metal airline hugging the frame down from the cab. The oe has military packard connections. Easiest fix is haldex universal civy 2 terminal air brake switch and just make an adapter to your military wiring if you...

    Ongoing Log Of My 1987 HMMWV

    Matched belts can be found with Gates or Napa. They typically will have a red tape around the set. Usually you have to go to a very large store or for NAPA at a distribution warehouse store main counter. The way to tell a matched set is they are cut from the same cord or production. To verify...
