    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    dirty? I cleaned up the hub/drum today. Didn't get to the pads or the little bit on the housing. The hub/drum cleaning was enough. It was pretty bad. I didn't take them all the way apart. Didn't seem necessary. Cleaned up nice though.

    deuce wheel cylinder rebuild.. i thought

    Thanks welldigger. First time doing this so I appreciate the tips. Once it warms up a bit I plan on checking the other wheels. I really want to get this fixed and get the brakes bled(hopefully that goes smooth and nothing needs rebuilt) and get it on the road by the end of the year. Waiting on...

    deuce wheel cylinder rebuild.. i thought

    I used a pipe with a cap and a floor flange(forget size) on my f350. I don't think that was 3" but I figured something along those lines would work. It came off pretty easy. Do you just fill the whole keyway slot and level it off? I don't want to wait around for a week for some cork or...

    deuce wheel cylinder rebuild.. i thought

    I don't see the small cork in the replacements I bought. It is there on the axle but looks degraded. Quickly reading the bunkerofdoom site it looks like that little cork piece is important to get right.

    deuce wheel cylinder rebuild.. i thought

    I got my deuce a couple of weeks ago. I thought the wheel cylinder needed rebuilt as there were no brakes and it looked like a leak on one of the rims where you would expect for a leaking cylinder. After a few hours to get it all apart(first time) it looks like the wheel cylinder is fine. I...

    Rebuilt wheel cylinders

    Is there a way to know if you are getting an American made wheel cylinder? Or a source that only sells them? I plan on rebuilding one this weekend but if it turns out it is bad i'd like to replace it with one made in the USA.

    Cribbing - May be useful to others

    Had I known there was a TM on cribbing I probably wouldn't have posted this. It does have other info on bracing too. Either way may be useful.

    Cribbing - May be useful to others

    I came across this. It may or may not be useful to you. Cribbing starts on pg11. I found it here http://www.fema.gov/pdf/emergency/usr/module2a.pdf And uploaded in case the link becomes bad. Also wasn't sure where to post this. I don't see a general wrenching area. If it belongs elsewhere...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Installed 2 new batteries and cleaned out the battery box. Started it and drove around the yard with my son. I planned on starting on the wheel cylinder rebuild but didn't get to it.

    M1078 troop seats

    Perfect! I looked for a TM but all I could find was the M1078 TM 9-2320-365-10 which had installation instructions but no part count. I appreciate it.

    M1078 troop seats

    The crate is much larger than I thought. Seems to be close to 6 feet long and about 3 wide. I looked at it when I got it home for a few minutes. There were a few cardboard boxes that I didn't go through. Hopefully there is a parts list in there so I can figure out if this is complete or not. It...

    PNW Info Thread!

    I'm heading to JBLM this week to pick up an m105a2. I was wondering if I could get contact info for a few local folks in case of emergency. I do not believe I will need to but if something happens that I cannot fix on the road or find parts for I would like to be able to park the trailer...

    Traveling to JBLM from central WA

    I am heading to JBLM from Central WA this week, tues or wed. I am towing back a m105. Will have space in the bed of the f350 and the trailer. Picking up troop seat kit is the only other thing that will be in there. So if you need anything picked up to save you the trip over the pass let me know...

    Show us your Military Trailers

    Not a Mil Trailer This isn't a military trailer. But I did build the deck with aluminum deck pieces from a mobile bridge. I cut off the front supports that stick out after my mother backed up alongside it and damaged her door. I had planned to add some wood on the sides there for steps/storage...
