Got everything put back together yesterday. Now I just have to get my truck freed up so I can hook back up and bleed the brakes. Then I should be ready to go!
Jks587 hooked me up big time! Sent me plenty of extra springs for free! He wouldn't even let me pay shipping. Hopefully I will be able to pay it forward to you guys on here some day...I'm just waiting on my new wheel cylinders to come in and I should be up and rolling, pardon the pun.
Well it looks like a fellow member is going to help me out big time! Jks587 has a couple extra springs and he is going to hook me up with a couple! You guys are great. Especially since I am a new member and all. I will do my best to pay it forward back to you guys

So I'm going through the brakes on my new to me trailer. the van mounted to the trailer is a m447c, the military calls it a "shop". The brakes don't work hardly at all so I tried bleeding and adjusting and finally had to disassemble one of them. The only one I've gotten apart so far has a broken...
I just bought a m447 trailer. I got a smokin deal on it and couldn't pass it up. My plan is to remove the van portion from the trailer and set it on the ground and use the trailer for hauling water and chemicals back and forth to the sprayer. I'm estimating the water tank at about 3000 gallons...
