Joel, one manual is the TM 9-2910-226-35.
How many lines are leaking? The ferrules on the steel lines may be the problem, try checking the tightness. You may need to replace the lines with a fresh set.
For possible fuel in the crankcase, send a sample off for analysis.
Re: RE: Re: RE: Check valve for oil filters?
Good point Mike, however, the crud is forced into the filter under pressure and drained with zero pressure and as a result I would say that most of the crud will stay in the filter and not drain back. Some of the filters I have changed have had a...
Thanks David.
Steve also explained that there was an MWO to change the battery set-up from the two under the passenger seat to a set of four, placed on the platform. The original battery box was turned into a tool box. This explains a "mystery" cable harness that was in the truck, it has a...
Nick, from you list I could take 64, 65, 107 and 366 in trade for my 206, 213, 214 and 215 if you think it's fair. The older are more valuable and if you prefer, I'll take just one of the older (64, 65 or 107) plus the 366, I'll leave it up to you.
Let me know and I'll PM my addy.
Today, I connected with a fellow who actuall may have driven my XM757 while at Ft Sill, OK. He added the following:
TDC = TRADOC
FAS = Field Artillery School
66T = Unit number from weapons department
05A = series number for al 757/656/791
241 = series number - not serial number
69 = Year of MFG...
Great suggestion. I'll list my extras later today and which ones I'm looking for.
My primary interest is limited to the 60's, 70's and 80's, and my extras will be from that time period.
It'll be like trading baseball cards. :-)
What I stated about driving with a pinion brake, side slopes and slippery pavement, applys to a parked vehicle as well.
If you use the "driveline" parking brake (including the current one) on a side slope it will not keep it from rolling.
When the traction is not equal and the drive shaft...
Ryan, last night you asked about the length of copper tubing used in my heated tank, I said it may be 15 ft, now I think it's more like 12 Ft, anyway here is a picture showing the install plus the bulkhead fittings.
The coil is "screwed" in through the access opening.
About the relay wiring...
Patrick, I don't remember having too much difficulty getting the tank brackets installed, but then again, it's been a while, a decade actually. Perhaps the key was to be able to work from above.

Re: RE: Deuce Tranny, Things I
When Leonard Jones and I worked on the rear main seal replacement, the PTO stayed on the tranny and wasn't any real cause for delay. It may be easier to fit the transmission without it, but haven't done it without it to know.
A pinion brake is a driveline brake and will brake the vehicle via the differential. This means that if you are on slippery ground only the wheel with less traction will brake. A side slope will give you braking problems also.
