the #3 hard fuel line appears to be leaking at the hydraulic head. I've reviewed some TMs and there doesn't appear to be any rubber seal for the hard line within the head that could be leaking. Is there a rubber seal I could install to try and stop the leak or should I replace the hard line...
I went to drain / fill my steering box with 80/90 gear oil and it appears to be full of a medium thickness gray grease. Should I leave the grease or flush it to add the proper gear oil or corn head grease? Anyway to determine what type of grease may have been used?
Thank you
I am looking to have some work done to my Deuce, are there any recommendations of shops that know military vehicles? Looking to have my rear suspension worked on, dogbones replaced, rear trunnions serviced, new U-Bolts... the current ubolts are crumbling with rust.
Thank you
Installed the new air governor... ended up using DOT nylon tubing from the firewall to the tee (that short foot long piece of copper was hard as a diamond as too hard to try to bend straight)

I just checked behind the old governor, the original mounting holes are there. I also measured the lines and they seem to be original spec sizes. (ill still bring the old fittings to the hardware store...just in case)
Does anyone know the thread pitch for the 3/8 x 2 mounting bolts?
Thanks...
I would like to replace the adapters and will need the newer style longer bolts when installing the new governor; does anyone know what size part 3, 5, 7 and 9 are as noted from this TM excerpt?
Greetings!
I was thinking of replacing my air governor based on some clicking I've heard in the cab of the Deuce (the air system is building pressure to about 90 PSI). I think mine is either 1970's vintage or was replaced with a non-standard unit, because it doesn't look like the ones I've...
Some more pics, feel free to post any feedback or info. Does the bed appear to be attached to standards? What about what appears to be mostly dry oil above the data plate (looks like a 1991 date code, its hard to see in the pics as well as TD marked next to data plate).
