[MV] starting an M54

Just awarded an M54 from DRMO! It's been
about 8 months since I've seen the truck...

I know that it needs a pitman arm. I'm
assuming that these are interchangable
between all of the similar series 5tons-
please correct me if I'm wrong! I'm thinking
that it's gonna be a bear to take out the
old arm- does any one have any shortcuts
or tricks?

Also there's the (hopefully smaller) problem
of getting it started. I'm hoping to head down
Friday and tinker with it a bit. I know it needs
batteries- what size are they? Also, how do I
go about restarting the mill? Should I try and
drain out some fuel from the filters and start
cranking? Or try adding something to the fuel
that's been sitting for how long... ?

Thoughts and advice greatly appreciated!

(Like will AAA tow a 5-ton off the base??)

MV Rookie,
-Damon
