    (Solved) M923A2 Right rear brakes grabbing

    This might be a good time to check brake adjustments. If you adjust the anchor pins, be sure the punch marks on the pins face outboard, away from each other. Read the TM carefully.

    Cleaning out and resealing old Jerry Cans

    I didn't use all the coating in my tank job. You pour out the excess after coating the insides. This would help stretch how far the coating covers.

    Cleaning out and resealing old Jerry Cans

    KBS coatings worked very well for me. Used it in my BMW motorcycle tank. I suggest pressure washing the inside of the cans first. Follow this up by filling the cans up with vinegar. Allow to set for at least a week. Rinse out then follow the directions for the coating EXACTLY! You will be...

    I guess you don't have something to tow the truck with.

    M35a2 Deuce NO START

    After a long soaking of the piston tops with the penetrating oil of your choice, sometimes pull starting will work. Of course, that brings a new set of difficulties.

    Giving up the Tornado in my 67 M715

    The AMC line of 6 cylinders are good engines. Perhaps the fit up will work more easily.

    Exhaust heat wrap

    I am thinking of using header wrap on the jeep down pipe to keep brake lines cooler. Any downsides to doing that? What type of wrap would be best, Thanks

    Some have a pipe plug. Otherwise disconnect pcv fitting and use that.

    Advice before buying

    Try for a M37b model made in the early 1960s Some worthwhile improvements and the wiring isn't quite so old

    M37 Acceration problem

    The accelerator pump works off engine vacuum. Check the carburetor mount gasket for leak. Put a vacuum Guage on the engine and see what you have. All vacuum connections ok, even at the fuel pump? You might try a little mixture adjustment on idle mixture screw.

    JHGW5A / Hecurles ZXAER Generator

    That looks very much like an early jeep fuel pump. Rebuild kits are available for those as well as new pumps. Look at photos Jeep parts suppliers have.

    Stripped Geared Hub Drain Plug...good extraction methods?

    I don't use the L shaped Allen wrenches for high torque items. Have had much better results with 3/8 or 1/2 drive Allen wrenches.

    Stripped Geared Hub Drain Plug...good extraction methods?

    Find a tall nut that will fit the hex in the plug. Think spring hanger nut . Weld this to the plug, let cool for a few minutes, then unscrew.
