    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    It doesn't look like I could use one of the brake bleeders that you made with the remote reservoir kit that I installed. I may be able to do something similar. Thanks for the inspiration.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Over the last week I have been making new steel tube brake lines. I installed 5 new rubber brake lines and a remote reservoir. I found a slight leak at one of the banjo fittings. I'll fix that tommoro. I also oiled the air pack. While under the truck I discovered one of the air tanks has a weld...

    No pedal after bleeding air pack in M35A2

    Thank you. That sounds easier than I thought it would be.

    No pedal after bleeding air pack in M35A2

    I have a question. How do you oil the air pack? So far, that is the only thing on my truck that is working correctly, so I haven't given it much attention.

    M35a2 will not start.

    Do you have the "J" shaped steel clip installed over the engine stop cable? I did that once. It started but barely ran. That's the kind of mistake you only make once.

    No pedal after bleeding air pack in M35A2

    It sounds like you have a lot of air in the lines. You should top off the master cylinder and bleed all of the wheel cylinders. Also look for other leaks. It can't hurt.

    New from Western Oklahoma

    Welcome from Pa. I know the answer to your question. You are going to need a tow truck or have the current owner drive it to your house then do the title transfer and registration.

    Jakes flea market military show and swap meet.

    Hi everyone, I just wanted to pass on some information that I came across. There is a military show and swap meet at Jake's flea market in Barto pa on Rt 100 on October 3rd. This show happens twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. It's just a small show but it doesn't have to...

    M35A2 Winch & PTO issues

    I think if it were mine, I would take it apart and look for broken parts. While it's apart I would replace all of the bearings and seals.

    M35A2 Winch & PTO issues

    Have you tried to spin the input flange of the winch?

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Can you put the pto in nutral (engine off) then go under the truck and try to turn the output shaft by hand. It should spin. I think what is happening in your case is that the oil in the pto is causing the shaft to spin.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Over the weekend I finish rebuilding and installing my transmission. My first test was to pull forward 4' and then back up 4'. Well it went forward with no problem but reverse was another story. With the help of M34tom we figured out that the parking brake was jammed. Thanks Tom for all your...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I agree, I did an oil change in my transmission and three weeks later decided to rebuild it. After disassembling and cleaning the parts and the inside of the case, I found at least that much debris. Adding the magnetic plugs is a great idea, they kept all that junk out of the gears and...

    I broke the front axle

    Pull the wheel and brake brum. Remove (12) 3/8 nuts and remove the entire brake assembly. Pull the spindle out and then the axle shaft.

    LDT 465 1C engine noise

    If the noise doesn't get louder with an increase in rpm, that leads me to believe that it's coming from something that is always under the same load.
