That is the line I was talking about. I missed that page in my search for a diagram of all those lines running all over. The hose that hooks to it is next in line to get a new one. I am also in the middle of replacing the upper and lower radiator hoses since they were still the old military ones.

I have come up with enough parts to make at least one good airpak. Everything needs cleaned up and then I'll start the rebuild. The parts I have scrounged appear to be pristine on the inside. All of the coolant and oil hoses for the air compressor have been replaced with new and little by...

Looking real good! Did your master cylinder come in yet?

What are you using to do the sanding?

I tore down a G749 airpak today so I can start preparing for a rebuild. It was not as difficult as I thought it would be. Hopefully I can find enough parts that are not pitted to make one good airpak. I still plan to tear down an M54/M809 airpak to find out the difference between the two. I...

As of last weekend, still no leaks. I decided to put a new master cylinder on and rebuild the airpak. We'll see how the wheels cylinders hold up after all that is done.

Good looking truck! Ugly can be fixed easily. Everything looks straight from what I can see. You have a lot to work with there. What year is the truck and can you see what the hood number is?

Oh man. That is terrible. What does FedEx have to say?

I don't know for sure but I have heard they are Timken axles.

Master Cylinder rebuild kit added.

My new master cylinder came in today and I am very happy with what I see. I ended up ordering Raybestos MC2842. I chose that because some of the M35 master cylinders I saw did not have the holes on the side drilled and tapped. We need the top hole, since part of our brake pedal linkage hooks up...

Digital copies are nice but sometimes having a paper copy right by you when you work is the way to go. Ebay has some reasonably priced. Portrayal Press isn't too bad either.

Some of the pictures are on post #451 for when you need them. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?52255-G749-preservation/page46 Kinda threw you under the bus there M1010plowboy.....knew you could handle it though.

Welcome to the forum! I would highly recommend ordering a copy of TM 9-8024. It will be a huge help to you as it was and is to me as I have been learning and working on these trucks. The carburetor will probably need a rebuild. The fuel pump can freeze up if left in old fuel. I'd highly...

My best guess is someone used an M35 master. It all appears to be original Wagner-Lockheed. Everything is identical to the other master I pulled off of a parts truck that came direct from the Army and has not been modified in any way. Just no check valve in that one.

It has been said these trucks are herd animals. See my signature. Somehow ended up with four. M1010plowboy is way worse than me though. When the lady of the house starts complaining, I break out pictures of his herd and tell her it could be worse. :wink:

I pulled the master cylinder off of my truck today and it looked great except for some pitting about 2 inches inside the bore in one place. Enough to cause internal leakage and too much to hone out, so a new master cylinder it is. I'll keep the old master cylinders for the day when it is cheaper...

Good job on digging into those TM's! Welcome to the forum! No ignorance on your part. I think it is safe to say that we are all learning things about these trucks. I'd like to see some pictures of your truck and the engine/transmission combo when you have a chance.

Let me know how it looks since you will probably beat me to getting one. If I happen to get one first, I'll do the same for you.

I am getting ready to either buy a new master cylinder or do a rebuild. Will know for sure what I am going to do tomorrow when I pull one more master cylinder. Check this out and you can see what I am thinking. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?125811-1952-M135-W-Winch/page33 Some...
