    Welcome to the world of deuces. That is why it is disconnected.

    new Deuce owner w/ part question

    Without a functioning air pack, that is what you are doing. That appears to be a short air pack. There is a long one also. They interchange.

    Cleaning Up the Air Pack & Rebuild

    As an update, TM9-2320-209-34-2-1 on page 12-12 shows an o-ring (4) on the slave cylinder body. NO O-RING is included in the rebuild kits. It is a 7/8 o-ring available at the hardware store. I do not know that it is needed. The first unit I repaired did not have the o-ring. It appears it...

    lubing a ring mount

    We removed the dust cover and used pressure cleaning to eliminate the dust and crud. Then we sprayed white lithium grease into the bearings, turned the mount round and round until it freed up. I have not checked it in some time so I do not k now how often it needs greasing. Ours sits outside...

    Cleaning Up the Air Pack & Rebuild

    My guess is the paper gasket for the piston cylinder will be too small. Mine are all NOS. But, keep us posted.

    Cleaning Up the Air Pack & Rebuild

    The first pic shows the piston. It was in pristine new condition with a little nasty stuff that wipes off easily. The second is the top of the piston. The Third shows the interior of the cylinder with the crud and some rust. The final pic shows the crud and some rust around the perimeter...

    Cleaning Up the Air Pack & Rebuild

    I have opened the second air pack I have. Took the end off of the air piston chamber. Piston in pristine condition. Stuck. No lubricant. This one has sat a long time. I will clean the chamber and lube it. So far no need for any rebuild parts. Don't forget the lube in the air pack is put...

    GL just lost another customer.

    Any company can make errors. GL is no exception. Every company can have stupid or rude employees. GL is no exception. Finding out how to straighten out the problems with a company that we only have internet connection to is difficult at times. Currently, I have no complaints. That is...

    You are more obsessed with the spin on filters than I am. I know you will be just as satisfied.;-)

    The downside of fixing up a parts truck

    I just bought ten from Saturn. At $38.50 each for the ends, cheapest around that I could find. It will take a press to remove and replace them from the dog bones. There were around 200 complete torque bars in the auction at Ft. Sill. They went for about $70 a piece. I was outbid at $75. I...

    Cleaning Up the Air Pack & Rebuild

    Here are a few pics to help. The core I used is fairly typical from what I have seen. I plugged the holes with brass plugs from Ace Hardware to sandblast the exterior. The next few shows the disassembled tower on the top of the cylinder and the pump, completely replaced. The next shows the...

    Cleaning Up the Air Pack & Rebuild

    Another hot tip: The air piston is two parts, not screwed together and not connected one to the other. Mine had what appeared to be a leather gasket, replaced with a rubber gasket, which had been compressed against the two parts so long that until I got a probe into the base it would not...

    odiron Coolant Filter Kit

    A nice looking install. I mounted mine vertically with the valve to change the filter. I also used the filter with the SCA in it. Try it you will like it. Also remember this filter kit is from NAPA and at somewhat a lesser cost. I do not know if the NAPA kit has any of the brass fittings as...

    odiron Coolant Filter Kit

    I went to Ace Hardware and found reducers there. Cost a couple of bucks. No biggie. I am very happy with the filter set up.
