You accomplished the task safely, so all's good. happy birthday.

Indeed! Just not EVER strip or dissemble these type of brake units without the proper tools and SAFEGUARDS. Methods can be found on forums and googled for safety procedures. These are second in line (or equal to) Sitting on the tire of a ring type split wheel to dissemble that!.

This is the way to go, And the method we use.

The pump itself had a fine copper mesh filter inlet. Oil changes no problem, Simply undo the connection and drop the pipe. Dirty oil? ( my vehicles are oil changed every year regardless.) But in case, the oil is pumped to the filter. Not the gallery. And I appreciate the research posted...

indeed interesting..(D.M.) and so much thanks for the help..a mission impossible without..

Hmm, Why Not!..I have 60 psi on the gauge when I press the go button. (surely better than waiting for 30 seconds for ANY oil pressure build up.) And No I am Not worried about fouling..I have absolutely no intention for abusing this truck off (any) road. https://youtu.be/zMFD4loIEOI

HA! BUT..there IS a "rule" ...(lightly said) "get yer'self a Truck..and (really) enjoy the fellowship of like minded members . Welcome to the site, the hobby and eventual events to come.

Well I had an engine oil primer pump fitted ( to my recently bought back deuce) that was giving problems, and have replaced it with a similar better working pump and re routed the piping. Also increased the wiring gauge for max performance. The system now works really well. I had to change the...

Welcome to the site the hobby and events to come..post up the eventual possession you attain.

Support the base of the sump with a thick strong block, and support that with a trolley jack, or, as we did one time four bottle jacks.

As previously mentioned, this is one oft times neglected item to be serviced, (and), Due to the sharp angle of the cable at the front of the engine, this a common failure point. You need the complete cable inner and outer. (then) Keep it lubed. graphite, or molyslip and oil mix keeps them...

The Spirit (of the site) Live on. 74M35A2, Has my "steelsoldier Of the week". Award. For those "special"....gestures.

Towing a 5 ton with a deuce is an "incident" (at BEST!) waiting to occur. For the trouble you you COULD be in, and would regret having got into, just use something or someone with the correct towing vehicle. (weight wise). The ONLY way to keep out of "trouble"..is NOT to get into it in the...

Strewth!.....That is an imposing looking truck. When you eventually "retire" it I do so hope you restore it back to full military glory again.

If it will not go into gears at "matching R.P.M.s" it sounds like the synchro mesh and associated bearings are shot.

Take the thermostat out and then try it.

Firstly You need a GREAT BIG thank you and a HUGE thumbs up for your Stirling (voluntary) efforts. When the operations are over you will need to drain all the fluids from everything, Check the fuel tank and the breather lines. (all). You should pull all the drums and clean and service the brakes...
