This is my third deuce, but the only one I’ve ever been able to throw a little money at. Thanks Will, yes eriksmilitarysurplus had the exact wheel cylinders you sent me but in a newer packaging. They are not NOS but are good quality with all fittings included and the proper springs that are cup...

Took the next 4 days off work! Finished replacing all return lines and primary tank to filter main line this morning with new DOT nylon. New air filter (old was plugged solid) . Took an hour to pull the hydraulic head. It’s a little dirty but not too terrible. Seals weren’t cracked but flat...

Primary filter looks better than the others did. Looks like a reusable filter too! I found the fuel shutoff rod is a little sticky. I have an o ring set for the hydraulic head and fuel cutoff shaft. I noticed my oil feed lines under the IP are drippy. I also want to throw new seals in the...

Same here, and just because that’s how it came off the truck doesn’t mean it was or wasn’t right so I double checked!

Frank, I noticed in your pictures you have the brake shoe hold down washer cups on the top bolt, on either side of the spring. It is my understanding the solid cup goes on the lower hold down bolt on the shoe. At least that’s how my truck came to me, the TM is a little tricky to look at showing...

That made my day right there 😂

Is there a trick to getting the bottom brake adjusters done? When torquing the lock nut the eccentric adjuster spins with it. I’ve tried compensating by turning the adjuster cam back then torquing the lock nut but they turn as a pair. It’s all been greased and cleaned. I’m thinking an actual...

So canisters have been deep cleaned, new o rings inside and out, 6 micron filters, and DOT line for all associated fuel lines this side of engine. Starts up real quick now but still stumbles when returning to idle (dips to 400 then recovers). I’m almost positive the fuel shutoff rod is gummy and...

Glad I’m not the only one who noticed this problem then. But I see a lot of youtubers changing filters on trucks with no regard to this small detail. I bought some o rings that will fit on the metal cups to seal but I can see how flipping them would work just as well and really bite into the...

Having torn my canisters apart for a deep cleaning, cup, spring, o ring and all I noticed a potential problem for all us deuce owners. Pictured is a Napa Gold 3540. It’s a 6 micron filter. The cork gaskets on either end, do not seal against the bottom cup in the fuel canisters. Many other fuel...

Been slow motion but some progress. Completed 2 rear wheel hub jobs. Cleaned the snot out of everything, wheel cylinders are all beyond salvage so 2 new ones went in. Gotta adjust brakes then put wheels back on. Fuel filters were totally plugged with bio sludge. The final filter is collapsed...

I have lots of parts in the mail, between work and 2 kids (newborn) I don’t have a lot of deuce time. But I did finish all gearbox draining today. All fluids looked normal except the front axle which I retrieved pieces of pinion bearing cage from. I spoke with Gringeltaube and the diff is likely...

I see lots of trucks with the older Bendix dual cylinder compressors and some with the single model. Will a single cylinder model fit onto the base for a dual cylinder one and visa versa? I have searched to no avail

I got my spin on oil filter kit from member tie6044 here. $200 shipped filters included. He was very prompt on communication and shipped right away. Told him I’d leave him some positive feedback, a little less expensive than Jatonkas (if I can save here and there I will) and still superb quality...

Thank you to Will Wagner and Craig at the American Military Museum in South ark Monte Ca for selling this to me. It’s a 65 non winch, runs and drives but needs some typical maintenance. I just brought her home today from LA to Yuma. Shout out to FASTNOVA for transporting promptly and reliably...

Thanks for the positive review, I hope to deal with him soon if the truck looks okay

THANK YOU, we will more than likely be in touch. Can you message me your phone number?

Yup among the many other possibilities. Any idea what I should pay for a 260 mile trailer home?

I’m quite tempted to, but he doesn’t know when the last time it had deep service was (bearings, shoes etc). He rebuilt the air pak and takes it for small spins here and there and he said the tires aren’t too bad. But it’s also triple digit temps now and the heat likes to make gremlins creep up...

Trying to get an idea for transportation cost on a running driving M35A2 from El Monte to Yuma. Thank you
