I took off my axle vents and put in some piping and hooked them all up to a central vent under the hood up by the motor.
Our road is very dusty, not sure if the dust did it or not, but one of the vents stopped working and blew out a seal and washed out all the grease in the bearings.
I have a M923A1 that was losing prime. I checked and checked for leaks and found none.
But GL damaged my fuel tank mount before I picked up the truck, so I removed the tank to repair the mount. Now that I had the tank off I removed the fuel pickup tube from the tank. The tube was about ready...
Well I headed out at 0200 from the house and I got to the GL lot at 0920. Got loaded up and tide down and headed for home at 1040.
Went thought a rain storm, that was not fun. Found out the windshide wipers on the truck do not work worth a Dxx!!!!
Got home at 1830, long hard day and 555 miles...
I have a question about the old style air-pack.

I am not hearing any air being released when I let off the brakes.
Thanks!!
My pto was leaking a little at the seals so I pulled the pto and replaced the seals. I took some pics to help others with there seal replacement.
It was not to hard to do, the nuts that hold the pto to the trans can be a pain.
I used a two lip seal for the shift shaft (National #471538.

I know I have seen a number of fuel line threads, but I went to Napa today to get some fittings to bypass the cold start system and all they had was this.
The compression farrule is built into the nut.
Do you think this will work or have any of you guys used this type before?

Is the copper looking disk in the Solenoid made of copper or is it a contact type of copper alloy?
I need to make a new one that is why I am asking.
Thanks!!!
I need to repair my Solenoid copper plate, but I can not get the Solenoid rod unhooked from the starter yoke. See pic.
It looks like it has a pin in it, but there is not way to punch the pin out.
I noticed that I have a rear axle leaking. I took the hub apart and I had gear oil in with the bearing grease and leaking on to the inter wheel.
I looked at all the seals and they looked ok. The little cork key-way looked ok also.
Is RTV the way to go and not use the cork seal or the outer hub...
I have a question about oil Pressure.
When I start my deuce the oil pressure comes up in about 2 sec.
and when I am run down the road the gauge goes past 60psi on the gauge.
Is a high oil pressure bad or a sign of something bad?
Thanks!

Is there something I am not...
