I'm wondering if that is a windshield washer fluid reservoir. My deuce had nothing mounted there, but mine never had a windshield washer pump or nozzles either.

The two levers are the parking brakes. One for each wheel. Up is released, down / forward is brake applied. Applying air does not release these, they are all mechanical. If yours has two air hoses and an air tank, it will lock the brakes if the emergency line is disconnected from a truck and...

https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/5-ton-power-steering-assist-cylinder-rebuild.138637/ Yes it is pretty straight forward. I used the above thread as a guide. On my truck I was able to disconnect the front of the cylinder first and then the hoses, so I could avoid removing the guard that covers...

As long as the rod going out through the seals isn't damaged or scored, you should be able to restore it with a seal kit. I did it last Fall with a kit from Big Mike's Motorpool / Mike Virilli. Had a heck of a time finding one but he was able to get it. It seems that paint on the rod is one of...

Looking at gringeltaube's truck vs. mine, it looks like the Army got a bit sloppy when putting my mirrors on. There are no reinforcing brackets on the inside of the cowl and the holes definitely aren't level like his. Oh well, as you can tell by the CARC on the bolt heads, it has held the...

Looks like they came from another truck now that you point out the missing bracket. I looked in the TM9-2320-209-20P manual and it doesn't have my style of mirrors in it, so I can't find a part number for that bracket. It would be pretty easy to make them though. It does show the style you have...

The ones you found in the bed look like deuce mirrors to me. I could only find a shot of the driver side. Ignore the wire, that is for my lighted mirrors. The passenger side is curved to go around the exhaust but it mounts the same way. Both use the door hinge pin bolts to hold them on, so if...

You can keep duals with 1100x20 tires. I believe if you use NDT tires they fit without any changes. If you get the 11.00R20 G177 radials, some members have reported that the tread edges would contact the fasteners on the trunion cover during turns, so they changed out to button head fasteners on...

I don't know how similar the 5 ton master cylinder is to the one on a deuce, but this is the same symptom set that I had when crud was blocking the compensating port in the master cylinder in my deuce master cylinder. Check the reservoir and make sure there is no crud in it, especially any...

As HanksDeuce pointed out, with hydroboost the brakes get high pressure first, giving them priority. However, what you shared a picture of is one of the Bosch Hydromax units. They are similar to the hydroboost units but they are bigger and were used on medium duty trucks instead of pickup...

That's my thought. If you're going to the effort of putting on super single tires, you might as well use wheels that have the right width for the tire and keep the tire better centered on the wheel bearings. This way is definitely cheaper, but while it will likely work ok for a toy truck for...

That rear axle has had the hubs flipped in order to get the spacing you see.

I just got done putting a Noco gen 5x2 charger on my deuce. I mounted the charger on the transmission tunnel inside the cab, under the seat near the back wall, with the cords pointed towards the passenger side and routed the wires down to the battery box through the holes for the slave cable...

I put a second spring seat in my deuce a while back to increase passenger comfort. I didn't like having just an empty space in the middle, though. So I sectioned down the bench seat to make it fit in the middle and got a kid size seat back in there, as well as a center console when it's folded...

Before you get into replacing expensive parts, check the simple things first. Have you load tested the batteries individually to make sure you have good amp capacity, not just good voltage? My deuce did the same thing a while back and it had a battery that had gone bad, but my charger said it...

Glad you made it home. Now you have time to download the Technical Manuals and Lubrication Order so you can repair it and keep it running for many more years. I'm sure it will be interesting to see what failed first in the front axle, but my guess is that it will be easier and cheaper to just...

In case it wasn't clear already, just wanted to note that I am not an expert on these, I have just taken a few apart and successfully put them back together on my own stuff. With that being said, I would be concerned about debris getting in the bearings if you tried to dress anything up in...

That chipped gear isn't great but probably also not going to hurt anything either. Looks like damage from forcing it in gear instead of being patient... by someone in the last 50 years, who knows when. It can be replaced without removing the trans if you really wanted to, but I personally would...

Not really any point, no. If it's not spinning it doesn't matter. Worth checking the others to make sure they are good though.

The axles and transfer case all use 80W90 gear oil. There is debate about the transmission but the military used 80W90 in it too.
