    Master Cylinder Rebuild

    What poppop said is spot on. I would add make sure everything is CLEAN when you put it together. Also coat the bore and the piston seals with Silicone brake fluid before you assemble everything. One other thought...When you pull the spring cliip that holds the piston in the bore make sure...

    carburetor float

    While I am unsure as to how much help this may be there are three manuals (older version) for the M35 deuce with the OA331 iincluded. They are at the bottom of the list on the M35 download page at www.jatonkam35s.com . These are the versions issued in 1965. While they may not have the...

    Changing Head gaskets and dual EGT gauge test program

    Some factiods about turbocharging. I gleaned this from a few sources on the web. I do not in any way make any statement that the data in this is applicable to the deuce/multifuel. I am simply putting this out here for you to get a better understanding of the concept of EGTs and Turbochargers RL...

    Changing Head gaskets and dual EGT gauge test program

    Still waiting to do the second test. I saw that I could have EASILY taken the EGT to beyond any comfortable level without even trying on my trip home. It took a decided effort to keep the EGTs below 1100. The next run should be very interesting when I lower the fuel a bit more. As much...

    Changing Head gaskets and dual EGT gauge test program

    The heads looked clean except for the denting from the fire ring. The engine looked very good otherwise and the problem and the sole cause for the leaking of the oil, and potentially a coolant leak had we let it go was caused by the IP being set too high and producing too much power. This is...

    Changing Head gaskets and dual EGT gauge test program

    EGT Temps, pre and post turbo First test LDS-465-1A with D turbo. 04-30-11 I finished the installation of the second PYROMETER in the deuce this afternoon. I also turned my fuel down 4 flats. I know it was four because I had to reposition the wrench as it would only turn the nut 1/12 a...

    Changing Head gaskets and dual EGT gauge test program

    First of all, I would like to acknowledge many people for their sharing of their experiences in doing the head gaskets and also specifically CRANETRUCK a.k.a. Bjorn for his pioneering efforts in understanding and properly maintaining a Multifuel engine. Bjorn was out there long before most of us...

    Updated brake switch

    The reason you change the brake switch from hydraulic to air operated is because if the diaphragm in the switch fails, the BFS Brake Fluid Silicone can catch fire and burn the truck up. I saw a fire start under a deuce at MTA last year due to this. The air switch was also used on the M275...

    Oil out exhaust

    Yeah Bob, that Aircraft streamer adds a certain "class" to the stack cap!!!!!! I would say that you are not truly initiated into this hobby until you have had a "Stack Bath" of black, sooty, slimy, grimy, oily mess..... I was at a festival with a parade scheduled last summer and it happened...

    Newb here, question from the wiser Deuce owners

    You want a deuce. You will need to move You probably will not be able to move all your "stuff" with a deuce even with a trailer behind it to carry more "stuff" forgetting the car for the moment. So the deuce would appear to be a poor candidate for a moving truck at this time. How do you...

    Deuce radiator repair!?!

    When my deuce arrived at my location (Hauled by Jatonka from Ft Drum) I found the front end damage included the radiator mounts, fan shroud and the filler neak was leaking. The radiator looked otherwise new. I pulled the radiator, and using the correct flux and solder and an industrial Weller...

    Upgrading the brake switch

    I suspect if you could come up with only the switch, one could easily make up the rest of what is needed to switch to an air operated brake light operation.....

    Deuce radiator repair!?!

    I would take your radiator to a good shop and ask them for their opinion. I have seen good used rads for $350 and up. There are a lot of new ones available right now as the govt just sold a bunch of them on GL recently. While a bit pricey, you would have a new radiator and know that you have...

    Upgrading the brake switch

    I have a couple of junk tailights that i could cut off the ends you need and I can send them to you. You can splice them into your harness. PM me with your address. The install has you placing the air switch in the same port and the rear service brake air line. What is important is...

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    Besides using this type of paint via brush for a 3 color NATO pattern, I have sprayed the water based acrylic enamel house paint on a trailer with good success. I used an HVLP gun. Use warm water to thin at about 10%. Having warm paint is also a must. The surface to be painted should NOT be...
