I guess I would clean it up real good and try and determine where it is leaking (the best I could) . Then if the pump feels nice and smooth when you spin it, and has not slop or play, I would try the gasket. They are cheap (like 5 bucks surplus). Then if all goes well you wont have to do it all...

Iowa National Guard truck...COOL. The electric wipers are a very nice upgrade. The 2 trucks on the flatbed in my avatar are IANG trucks too. I had bought 3 from that auction . Still have the green one and had sold the 2 tan ones. They were all great trucks. Wouldn't surprise me if yours came...

You might very well draw some fire for this......

At least it was cheap..:shock: I know, that was uncalled for

You might have already fixed it with the gas. Bet that helps.

I'm leaning towards the front crank seal too. The fan could be blowing the oil back and keeping the balancer free of oil.

Well you got a good piece of the trip behind ya. That is a lot of miles tho and I am sure you and the family are ready to get home. Might not always seem like it now, but when its all over in the future, there will be many fond memories of this trip.

Its sounding like a good solid A3 the honey badger must be. best of luck on the journey. If all goes well will you be home by tues or wed?

Does she run? I will admit I know nothing about a M135. What do they have for an engine?

Good old truck. Those cab protectors come in handy.

A modern John Deere or Case should have the same set up but boosted now. That might be an alternative to look into. I doubt you will find what you are looking for there. Most tractor brake systems are integrated right in the hydraulic sysem. (no separate fluid) Some exeptions are...

Dual circuit would be a nice update. I have nothing useful to add on the engineering of it other then to say this could be a good parts source. http://www.brakeplace.com/ Had luck finding oddball brake parts for farm equipment and the like.

Good luck on the local alt repair shop. My local guy said there was no parts available for these alts in the civy world. Maybe your guy will have a different story. Be interesting to find out.

Preacherboy, I dont think you owe him any apology for telling him what you did. Seems like you were accurate to me. Invite this guy to come and register here at SS and tell us all about his CUCV multi-fuel. He would be sure to get some posts to his thread.

What WM said. Also if there is a battery disconnect switch anywhere on the truck and someone shuts it off while the truck was running, that will kill the alt. I helped recover a 109 recently where that seemed to be the case with that one. Get ahold of this guy for a good deal on a take out alt...

I remembered posting to this thread awhile back. Maybe there is some usefull stuff on it for you. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-mods-hot-rodding/66483-school-me-hemtt-wheels.html?highlight=school

I have been slow to warm up to this using house paint to paint a deuce idea, but you sure did a nice job. Looks and sounds like it must work. Would knock out that hazzardous shipping bill.
