Ask Vintage pover wagons in Fairfield/IA or South Eastern Equipment / Augusta/GA. May be they still have some NOS parts. But they are geting reare and more reare every day. Wolf

Even I wanted not to answer any more: Jimk, I understand you,maybe for you have due to your truck also contacts to the other side of the pond and have to handle their humor. Do not let us take all this too serious! It is our hobby and should relax us! Wolf P.S.: Today I have to go to Horicon /...

M715 have no Federal what so ever certification label and no form 97A. It was not modern at the time they were made. For the civil road use, these vehicles were not existant, as well as the Army/Marine Corps/Navy/Air Force Hummer. But the later vehicles at least carried an emmission label which...

Shoud be at least 3 PSI at idle.

I had a similar problem 21 years ago. The reason finally was simple: I used decontaminated Diesel fuel (even filtered) which grinded the pump down. I was lucky to get a new one (It was the last awailable pump in Germany). The worn out pump might supply enough fuel for high idle with no load...

These trucks usually do not have a silencer. This limits the problem. Normally these sounds come up if there is a failure in the muffler (broken interior). But without muffler... So my idea is that somewere downstream the exhaust manifold is an edge in the exhaust where the exhaust gas is...

I do not want to be misunderstood. Of corse a threat can change during discussion. Thats why I have some small problems with your statement, Recovery4x4. I simply argued, that a threat should not end in a discussion between three or four members with their opinions which will not help to solve...

Roger-Wilco-66 said how to do it, besides the problem which happens to any of the air over hydraulic systems. I forgot a relatively new truck, the MB 1017 which struggles with the same problems sooner or later. Wolf

Please help me: What the last posts have to do with the original thread? For me it looks like a private discussion. For me this privat discussion seems not to be very helpfull for this forum. The first treads explained the reasons. I think we have to live with it, even if the one or the other...

It can happen on any axle and is not a specific Deuce problem. Some reasons: old and hard seals, worn in surfaces where the seal is running on, overpacking the bearings with gease. The last is obvious: The grease gets warm and therefore expands, means it need extra space. The lowest resistance...

As gimpyrobb said, yes, it can. And this is not a typical Deuce problem. These problems also come up with European made trucks of the 50's and before like on a L5000 Daimler-Benz (a beefed up L4500 from WWII) or on a KHD Jupiter 7 t truck from the German Army. The diaphragm dries out somehow...

I also had some blown glow plugs. And tear of three of them. My final solution was to take the engine out, remove the injectors and with a flexible pliar with four tips I could get the torn of debris out of the prechamber. Wolf

It is alway nice to see which treasures are found here and there. And that in a time where you think that all hidden treasures are found allready. Wolf

For your temp gauges problems I have the following ideas: First: Did you check the harness for propper contact? Old harneses sometimes have broken cables inside due to their age. Second: Is the sending unit doing its job? The manuals should have told you which one it is and where it is located...

The 12 pole IV cable is a standard part. So any NOS or canibalisised cable in propper order will do it, if you connect it in the right way. Wolf

To me no dought: a M101A2. Even the rails and the staks are of the latest A2 series version, which not neccessaryly mean, they are originally for the year of maufacture of that trailer. Tires are 235/85R16 LR D or E. M116A2 is the same chassis without carge box, refer to TM 9-2320-202-14&P...

Black smoke from these engines to a certain content is ok. However, in a almost unloaded (weight) condition this shoud not ocure! Are the opening pressures of you injectors at the propper setting. If they open too early, black smoke will ocure. And fuel consumption will be to high! If fuel...

Mass production, used for almost anything to haule beeing to heavy for other trailers and not big or heavy enough for bigger ones. Wolf

Hm..., how to bleed a manual brake. You mean a M116 A2 with hydraulic operated overrun braking device. Your Master cylinder slould be above the wheel cylinders. So with a source filling the dripping out brake fluid, just open the bleeder screw and let the brake fluid run into a suitable...

Hey, the generator problem at first. Did you measure the generator output? you easily can do it with a common Voltmeter at the batteriepoles of any of the two bateries, reading must be at least 12.8 Volts. If it is over 15 Volts, change regulator and diode plate. Due to experiance these are...
