That is indeed on the fluid side and it looks to be on the outlet, going to the wheels. That leads me to believe that there should be no ck valve in the MC. Good eye! I am going to show this to the boss Tuesday and see what he thinks. Thanks to ALL who have helped in this confusing ordeal...

I just went back and reviewed the thread @foxtrot is posting. The dual check valve is indeed in the air side. Maybe he could chime in and let us know if there was a check valve in his MC, I know he stated it was messed up. Don't know if he refurbed it or just replaced it. One pic of it in an...

I think that valve is on the air side, but, if it is on the fluid side, that would explain why it isn't in the MC. I will roll under it and trace the system to see if it is air or fluid. See, I was all set to go in Tuesday and assemble a master cylinder!

Well, look, MORE conflicting info! The spacer would be "P" in the diagram. It is aps 3/16 thick and w/o it, the piston gets retracted far enough for the cup,(H), to move past the hole in the cylinder. We have the '78 manual, this is not in it!

Very good! That's what I thought, but with kits with and without, It made me re think what I know. Thanks Mike! It will be a mix and match, this will never see the road, just compound, but the binders need to work. The original MC piston and cup are good but the bore is questionable, however...

I was kinda hoping @dmetalmiki would see this, I know he has an M62.

I gotta say, you REALLY brought something back from the dead! It looks VERY nice, hope it drive as well as it looks. I saw air pack, but no MC, might have to go back through the thread because that was ALOT of reading.

I need some help in regards to a MC on a M39 series truck. M62 Wrecker to be exact. We are in process of getting this up and running and stopping for use around the compound. I am working on getting it stopping. I have looked through the TMs we have in our library and the manuals posted here on...

OK now. So, looked through all of the TMs here and not one goes in depth into the master cylinder, seems to be just skipped over. Rebuild an air pack, no problem, pictures everywhere, but none of the master cylinder. I tried our local truck brake parts place, Franklin Truck Parts, all they can...

And, for me at least, it is all nuts and bolts. There are specific procedures to follow, those are easy to decipher or find, common sense.... But someone gave me a skill and I am thankful. I do find myself wanting to stop using my skills, occasionally, but I need something to do and something...

Yup, we chatted about that briefly today. Me thinks it will be much more than he thinks.....

Starting brakes. The pedal was stuck, so, went under it, took the pin out of the MC rod/pedal and the pedal was free. Took the MC out. It looked OK, a slight bump on the piston and it freed up. Clear...sorta...fluid came out of the end. Tore it apart. The first thing that I saw was, judging by...

It sat for a week before it was fired again with the new FP. And yes, it will get a complete fluid change, engine, trans, t-case, pto, maybe the diffs, but it will not see the road, diffs are a maybe. Oh yeah, brakes too.

I think I am good for now. Carb should be here today, got the lathe tools I was waiting for, so lots of stuff to be done. I do miss Boom Boom, the smell, the noise, the feeling when everything done leaves it's spot, but late night and I don't get along. Takes a day or so to feel....normal...

NOTICE THE BILBOARD!

Another update. FP installed....no room for a socket, so hand jive an open end wrench, CHECK. Fuel filter can installed. CHECK. @BLK HMMWV was there to give me a hand today. He looked at the filter and can and says, "hey, this thing is cracked!" I say, BS, it rings like a bell. Well, when...

Boiling water is your friend in that case. Put the gaskets in a deep pan, boil some water, pour it over the gaskets and let them sit. In a short time they will be back to their original size and pliable again.

While I was waiting for the Blaster parts cleaner to work some magic on a FP for an R6602, I fiddled with the launchers a bit....well one anyway. The top needed turning down a bit, about .010. We got the lathe working, so I made a center out of a brake lathe adapter, worked OK, but I'll wait for...
