Oh believe me, if there was one somewhat close I would. I could probably scrounge up enough tasty crayons to keep them happy haha.

Yes, the AF has these trucks….
You are correct, there are AF “T.O.s” for them even although they’re not at my base.

Yeah even if they don’t have the trucks there at motor pool they can request the digital format. Heck if you have the right access you should be able to do the same through the TODO.

I have not done one myself, but when I was researching prior to my truck arriving, I found several places that have kits for rebuilding the hand pump. That place that starts with an e and ends with a y had some. I think if memory serves me its 3-4 O-rings, one of which I think is cupped and may be the hardest piece of the puzzle to locate
I have replaced the three rings that is on the pump piston shaft with generic O-rings last year and so far, works good and no leaks. I don't think you can get into the pump itself (I may be wrong about that, I just haven't found anything different) but you can repair the leak at the piston shaft with the O-rings.
I couldn't find the exact O-rings without going through Parker Pumps. None on eBay either.
Good luck,
Tom.

My neighbors had a chicken that loved to roost in the brush stored in my M1082 trailer. I took it he trailer out to the Island where a buddy was having a big beach party and left it next to his camper for a three-day weekend. So the three days later I'm going to fetch it and one of my surf buddies sends me a text asking if this was my neighbor's bird. Of course, it was. It had survived three days of who knows how many mind-altering drugs (and people there on them).
And the damned thing was not easy to catch...but had adapted quite well to the surroundings of the camp.
That’s hilarious! And from what I’ve learned about chickens, it doesn’t surprise me at all. They each have their own personality, some more interesting than others.
Does anyone have the -24 IPB for a 3126b? Looking in the TMs, I'm not seeing much for the A1 trucks or maybe I'm missing something. I need to find NSN/Part # for exhaust manifold gasket(s). I'm sure a link to any part finder site for the generic CAT will also work too if someone has that but still having a hard time finding the "backshop" in depth TMs for the A1 trucks.

that's cause the A1 TM's.... though released to public domain if I under stand right on the older A1 stuff... the material is integrated into shop software that is licensed proprietary and NOT released to the public. AKA... this means in net result the A1 stuff your asking for is not in existence in the public domain.
This will be a complicated issue from now on with vehicle maintenance stuff. They are not books anymore. They are licensed software with Govt. PDF's inside. Appears to be "branching software". Sort of a rudimentary A1. It skips you along different branches to chapters, pages, paragraphs of the TM based on your input.

Soo... your best bet is to get CAT (and Allison) PDF's and interpolate to your truck.
yeah just gonna see if I can get a copy printed off on base, these should have a USAF T.O. as well and vehicle maintenance should have access
