Finally responded to your PM, Alwaysfixin, here are a few pictures of my 757, Keep an eye on the rpm, it's easy to overrev if you select the wrong gear. I love driving mine too...

I'll keep an eye on this one...

The compressor can handle two tires at the same time with original valves. Made a splitter several years ago and it speeds up airing up...

The neutral safety switch may or may not be present. This a general diagram.

Here is the wiring diagram and do install the starter relay (it will save your start switch)

My deuce was very sensitive to the condition of the front tires, any mismatch would result in shimmy at certain speeds. My recommendation is to match the front tires in every way possible, brand, wear, date code and air pressure...

Here is the hook-up (M35);

Nice solution, beats my diode-to-the-low-air-buzzer approach. The low air buzzer is probably much louder, though.

Hey Ron, Like JT says, the MT series (military TX200-6 in my case) has a built-in hydraulic retarder. The Army never had it linked up to a floor pedal, but the 1969 m656/xm757 vehicles have mounting holes for one. I have only verified that the retarder actuator on the transmission is present...

A bad connection will kill your regulator. Say that the alternator is going good and happily charging your batteries and suddenly the connection is broken. This interruption will create a high voltage spike and ruin parts of the regulator. Technically it's called a "load dump" and you can google...

Engine braking is done all the time, especially with a gasoline engine, which has a throttle to provide the resistance to piston movement. The diesel engine is "wide open" and needs a valve of some sort to offer this resistance to piston movement, either intake or exhaust. Examples are the...

Wayne Harris in Georgia, had a pressure washer sitting in his back yard based on the 4a084 military standard engine when I was visiting some years ago, self contained with a water tank also. It was a military surplus item...

I'm still here, just not very active on the forum. Making plans for the xm757 8x8, tires, bed (M656) and more..possibly a small K-boom...

Anybody know what's considered safe as far as snow load on a canvas top? I removed about 14 inches of snow from my cabtop canvas the other day...

The dual tank set-up on my xm757 (5-ton) consists of two identical systems terminating in the single fuel line to the secondary filter. It's factory, as delivered in '69 and I like it because it offers redundancy, if one fuel pump fails, I can switch to the other side. I have replaced the...

Did you ever check back with OPCOM? If you find a good AM2060 in your search for parts, let me know, please.

Some images.

Used my deuce over a period of years for log cabin deliveries and on the construction site. I loved it, but always got the impression that the customer rather see a sleek modern delivery vehicle, which was more or less "transparent" and not a distraction.

If you have a use or have a trip planned for your deuce in cold weather, start it every 6 hours or so and let it warm up some each time. After the first time it will start easily every time. The right oil and good batteries make a big difference. I kept a (plywood) grill cover on mine all year...
