Did you bleed the Master Cylinder first? Personally I’d make a bleeder with a bug sprayer. It works really well and doesn’t cost much.

When you’re changing the oil get a kiddie pool and be ready for some pressure. I lined up two 5 gallon buckets and when I pulled the plug it shot over both of them and marked its territory all over my driveway. My wife is still angry about the stain but I smile everytime I see it.

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/deuce-brakes.196860/ Check out this thread on capping a brake line. It proved very valuable on our last deuce recovery. I’m sure you have them in your toolbox but you’ll probably want an 11/16 and a 1/2 box end wrench if you have to adjust the brakes...

That’s a great looking truck!!! Congratulations!!

Not sure if your into tractors or not but member Dukeman in Albuquerque has a great tractor for sale that has no rust and is a a great runner. You won’t find a nicer one and you could drive it home.

I know of a few for sale here in New Mexico. Not sure if your up for shipping one that far though. I love my 5 ton but have been getting the itch to buy another deuce myself also. Haven’t convinced the wife yet though...

I usually use the ones on here in the TM section or the Jatonka website and then print whatever I need.

Do they come on when you turn the head lights on?

Yeah...I really wish I would have taken some classes on this stuff during my failed attempt at a college education. Most things I learn are through trial and error but electricity tends not to give you that option.

Unfortunately I can’t run a solargizer because the truck is going to be in a storage unit and I’m renting. I don’t think the owner wants me mounting anything to his roof.

That makes sense now. I am doing all of this because the truck will be in a storage unit up at the lake and I don’t want it to be a fire hazard if anything gets shorted out. The backup camera if a safety device to prevent divorce... My wife doesn’t understand that she needs to tell me which...

I’m not doing anything in 12V . All of my accessories are 24V.

Well hell... now I’m really confused. So power wire to a switch then to a 24vlt solenoid then to the fuse block then to a switch which turns on the accessory? Is all of this just for added protection from shorts?

I thought about doing the switch on the positive side but then I will still have a live connection on the low side of the heater fan.

Forgot to mention that I was planning on wiring the fuse box directly off the main battery. It just seems that I might still have power to the accessories as they will be grounded separately directly to the frame.

I am wanting to install a battery kill switch that kills all power to my M923 to prevent low batteries or accidental fire from rodent damage. I plan on putting the switch on the negative side of the battery cable. I also want to install a backup camera and rear spot lights. I am planning on...

Quick update... the new motor came in and everything works perfectly. I just need to find some vent hose to put in for the drivers side defrost. The original is gone.

One of my windshield wipers is leaking and I was wondering if anyone knows if these can be rebuilt? I can’t seem to find this exact windshield wiper motor anywhere. It’s different from the 939 wiper and also isn’t exactly the same as a deuce wiper either.

I’m not sure if it would fit or not but I wonder if anybody has tried taking the axles and brake system parts from a 939 Series and fabing them up to fit a deuce? Can you imagine the braking ability???

The truck is awesome but you have to give that driver a lot of credit. The job he’s doing on that road just using a dump truck is amazing. You can tell he’s been driving that 5 ton for quite a while. Possibly most of his life.
