How did you fix the airleak? curiosity should it happen to mine
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I actually have a M35 Gasser, so I have that style as well, was curious how you solved for if I need to do the same. I may try to adapt the new style switch if possible(or needed)
Privates. What can you do with them? Train them, send them to school and what do they do ! LOL !!!!Nice hijack... Change all three of your fuel filters. One under your alternator, and two on the driver side of the block back by the firewall. All three available at napa. Part numbers are available in the " Deuce parts quick reference spreadsheet" in the stickies at the top of the deuce page.
Here is what I presume is an A1 primary filter.

On left, old secondary filter = big sock. New paper filter (on right in final filter can) would not fit the seconday "sock filter" can. Had to get a proper spring loaded seat from my A2 donor truck (old rusty can on floor in cab) and cut the spring down from 1" to .5", and trim the center threaded stem too.

All my old oil and fule filter where steel, new paper...seems still might be better, but probably no biggie. After changing fuel filters, I have more electric pump psi and it runs better, idles a little smoother, and does not bog as much if I rev it and then quickly let off, barely at all now. Used to even hunt a bit sometimes.
New radiator cap!

The rear...not much left.

Electrical, or lack thereof. One third 12v, one third 24v, one third missing, all trash except the starter stuff that I fixed. The orginal wires are all rotted off at the back of the switches and at the generator regulator. All the lights are missing except the headlights, dunno if they're 12 or 24...

Get that pto disengaged, or remove it. Then sell it and put the money from it back into your truck.I suspect the water truck PTO might be making all the racket. Was wired engaged, can't get it to disengage...yet. Got a half inch of dried up grease/oil/dirt all over it.
Trans doesn't make much noise in gear with TCase in N...maybe pop the rear sheetmetal cover and put the mechanic's stethoscope here and there and see what I can tell.
Ok, so ten more minutes and you can have the floor pan and trans top cover off, that way you can look inside and see what is going on. Most likely you just need some new bearings. You do have all the gears right?
I used to scuba dive off the south end of Whidbey Island. I drove my family over there through "Deception Pass" just last fall. It is a beautiful drive. My wife has gotten a bug about living on one of the islands lately. We have looked at "Orcas" and "San Juan" and "Bainbridge" islands. I prefer "Orcas" but the wife thinks it is too isolated. That's why I like it !To come work at/run http://www.wymoreinc.com with my mom. Her dad (my grandpa) started it in '47. I've been here around 15 years now, worked my way up through the shop.
My dad still lives up there, works for a small railroad. He's a train nut as well as MVs.
You ever get over to Whidbey? I need to come visit, it's been far too long. Fort Casey (and a bunch of other stuff) is really cool to see.
Tonight I changed the oil, oil filters, and fuel filters. Runs better, but fuel filters were a hassle, turns out A1 primary and secondary filters are not the same as A2.
Also fixed the air leak at the low air pressure switch.
More pics n stuff later. I'm beat, gotta quit this late night nonsense. Really gonna regret it tomorrow.
*Duck*If you wire that truck to be 12v, I'll drive all the way out there, slap the $hit out of you, and then drive back home. Do it right. These trucks were designed to be 24v for a reason.

Re: 24 Volts?Originally Posted by Longhunter7
There is another reason! The voltage that is used for Military radios happens to be 24 volts!
DING DING DING
We have a winner! According to the mililtary documents from the 1940s (and this should be correct!), the reason for the 24 volt electrical system was to ensure radio compatibility. Note the date on the attached Detroit Arsenal image.
