    Operating instructions for a M45 a2 530b

    I appreciate the info. I don't want anything to go wrong. I know not to run the pump without water, but not how it should be started. I'm sure it has been years since the truck has operated. I'm hoping the pump is still good, because the drain valve had a large crack in it from freezing. It was...

    Operating instructions for a M45 a2 530b

    These are the panels on my truck. I don't remember a lever in the cab for the pump. I think mine is the road and pump handle. So I can move that road and pump handle with the engine running and the TC in neutral. Once in pump setting, I put the transmission in 4th and let out the clutch. I do...

    Operating instructions for a M45 a2 530b

    I would like to know the correct procedure for pumping water from the tank. I have it full of water and want to see what happens. I want to make sure I do everything in the correct step. Something as simple as switching from road to pump I'm not sure about. Next weekend I'll be up there again...

    Bummer of a load out

    Looking at the picture, the right rear corner looks bent down, but it must be the picture because it really isn't. I just wanted to add that I'm not a scrapper, I wanted only the beds, but the scrap went with them, without any options of leaving it behind. I had to take some scrap gates too. One...

    Bummer of a load out

    The other bed pictured earlier I decided to pass on, because after unloading all the scrap out of this one, the floor looked better. I got it done yesterday before dark and got home today in time to get this picture. I only have time for one, but if it sells, I'll do the other later. My son will...

    Project m1010

    I have heard they are hard to find, but what do they look like? Have a picture with some dimensions? Thanks

    Bummer of a load out

    I cleaned the pine needles out. That tailgate is scrap. One bed side on each floor could be saved, but would need repair the others are rolled under tight. I don't know what can be told from this picture and the difficulty of removing everything might make me give up, but I think I'll give it a try.

    Bummer of a load out

    I've been seriously considering saving the floor. Out here salt hasn't been used until lately and then only in certain occasions. That being said demand for a rust free floor may not be too high. The ribs in the bed show wear from ordinary use..... I'll get a picture. Thanks for the advice.

    Bummer of a load out

    Forgot to add I did get a M1009 rear seat and a deuce tail gate with a nice bend. I hope my neighbors don't mind too much when I start banging on that tailgate!

    Bummer of a load out

    They don't have any rust, but they aren't perfect. They were forest service use so they have some dings. I did get the troop seats which I could sell if there is any demand and some bumpers.

    Bummer of a load out

    You win some and then you lose some. This one was a huge disappointment. I bought 2 CUCV pickup beds. They looked nice, they were listed as scrap, but I was responsible for loading, but when I got there they mashed and ran thru them with forks for my easy loading. they thought they were being...

    1988 Air force deuce brake system rebuild

    Rusty, Do you feel that these master cylinders are a weak point? Is that the reason you have 3? Thanks

    1988 Air force deuce brake system rebuild

    That is what I have. Plastic and 1 cap. By having 2 caps tells me that it must have 2 reservoirs in 1 split tank. Mine does not.

    1988 Air force deuce brake system rebuild

    I looked at the MC in the manual 9-2320-209-14&P . The part # 5934071 is for the MC, but it looks different than the one on my truck. Mine only has one fill cap. I wonder if there are other differences. My truck is a 1988 M35a2c.Will a part # like that do me any good at Napa or am I limited to a...

    1988 Air force deuce brake system rebuild

    My deuce was improperly converted to dot 3 and now I have no brakes. When I got the truck I could pump the brakes to get some stopping power, but now there is nothing. It needs a entire rebuild, MC, air packs, and wheel cylinders. It looks like the master cylinder is the hardest part to find...

    Deuce Power Bleeder R4x4 Style

    Update- I hadn't been to the truck in a week since I bled it and had a good pedal. The good pedal is now gone. The odd thing is when I push the pedal to the floor and release it I hear gurgling in the MC. Not a little bit but A LOT of gurgling. I did a smell test of the fluid I bled last week...

    Deuce Power Bleeder R4x4 Style

    the napa cap I used is 675-1204. It is the same as the original with the vent in the side of the cap. The dorman cap looks to be the same on the outside, but does it have the vent built into the cap? If not it would be better than the original because it wouldn't leak out that side vent line in...

    Deuce Power Bleeder R4x4 Style

    I found a cap at my local Napa. It was exactly the same as the original except it had different writing on the top that said to use dot 3 fluid. I incorrectly thought the cap was flimsy, it's thin, but rigid enough to thread a 90 degree barb for a hose attachment. It took some time because I...

    Deuce Power Bleeder R4x4 Style

    Possibly a quick change adapter or hose barb could be placed through the cap with a washer and nut. Some silicone to seal or if there is enough room o-rings. Anybody know the part # for the cap? Thanks

    Deuce Power Bleeder R4x4 Style

    I have the same question, can a power bleeder be used on a 1987-89 USAF deuce. If someone has done it, I think another cap would have to be found. The original plastic cap is flimsy.
