In case anyone is wondering...yes that is a 5 gallon bucket I’m using for a seat😂

Here are some more pictures. The tanks are actually really clean and the fuel looks good and smells correct. One interesting note/question for anyone that might know. Why is the transfer case white? This is the 2nd old 5 ton I have come across with a white transfer case and I’m curious...

Initial picture...I’ll get more later. My wife actually likes it. I think she might be getting the disease!!!

I read you can rehab old diesel by adding ether to it. I think I’m going to drain it into a holding tank and get a better look at it. With the price of fuel lately it can’t hurt to at least get a good look at it and possibly filter it and use a gallon or two at a time.

I will getting some pictures up tomorrow. I’m going to try to take this rehab a little slower than my 923. So far I’ve only ordered the filter kit for it from Memphis. I’ll probably also order a new fuel cut off as this one is seized up. Does anyone have any idea what to do with 75 gallons...

I received the truck today and after the initial “what was I thinking “ moment and dragging it into the yard started to do the inspection. Engine is a LDS 465-1. 1991 Tooelle rebuild. Rear Fenders are a bit bent. One side and one front window needs replacing. No seats No brakes No water in...

I did basically the same thing on my 923. It’s well worth it... I put some steel plate to reinforce the bed. It’s great for moving tires and other heavy items. I bought a pulley hoist also from HF and just attach it to the crane to to make things even easier. I’m actually thinking...

Much to the dismay of my wife I have a new project headed my way. I picked up an M52a2 that isn’t running that will be here this week. Hopefully it doesn’t cause a divorce.. Hopefully there are a few of you ready to give some good pointers and some mental support along the way.

They are available on eBay. Type in M939 heater blower motor.

The State of New Mexico has something similar to this already and most of it was pushed through by the driving schools. Instead of real world teaching by real drivers they have instructors that teach out of a book and run trainees through “safe routes” where they don’t learn squat. Most of...

Yes.

I’m voting that the button fell off on this one...was it on when you pull the head?

Definitely necessary. Make a power bleeder as shown on the post above. Bleed the air pack first, then rear axle passenger side, rear axle driver side, middle axle passenger, middle axle driver side, front passenger and front driver last. It holds a lot so just filling your master...

Did you bleed them?

Through all of this you’ve gained a lot of knowledge and cleaned up everything else in the fuel system so that’s a plus. Now on to brakes, wheels, axles and everything else these trucks need. Keep up the great posts and enjoy it...

Congratulations!!! I bet you went to sleep with a huge smile on your face last night..

Careful...sometimes those parts tend to grow into truck number 2...

Was there any resolution with this truck not starting? Hopefully the solution might help a few others on here..

If the primary is leaking fuel then it’s also sucking in air..

PM sent. I had the same issue with mine. Maybe I can help you troubleshoot shoot a few things.
