I took off the secondary and final filters, the final was the worst and probably plugged. I have looked and it seems that the secondary and final filters are the same one. This doesn't make any sense to me. Any particles that pass through the secondary will pass through both. The final should...
So far I have only removed the primary filter. There were no washers in it to hold the spring in place so the filter was not filtering anything. It was acting like a trap. I have read this in other posts and I'm wondering if this isn't done on purpose because the primary filter is hard to change...
I'm going to start with the primary filter to see if anything goes through it. With all the volume that came out the plug hole that I opened at the tank when I tested the pump in only a couple of seconds tells me I should have seen fuel quickly at the secondaries. I took the vent completely out...
I have a Deuce in my driveway that I drove home a few weeks ago. The tank fuel pump was not working so I got a new one thanks to gimpyrobb. I put the new pump in the tank and before I started it I drained the filters. I cracked open the incoming line to the primary filter and it then drained out...
I don't think mine would do 3 mpg if I ever had it on the road. If I have a lifting job like loading a trailer it will easily take 5 gal of gas and I better be quick.
I would be curious to know how many M62's were still gas and if there were any differences between the ones made by IHC and...
I've bought a truck with a stuck m66 ring that I would like to get unstuck. It was parked outside for a long time I believe. I also need the TM. The ring is mounted on the truck.
Were all M62's built by International or Diamond T? My 1953 IHC has a 4 digit serial #. And was Diamond T owned by IHC in the 50's? Mine is still gas and what a hog!
The pump wasn't working so I pulled it out of the tank and it will run if it is laying on it's side, but once it is tipped up even only a small amount it quits. This is with the pump removed and only the motor running in it's frame. Any ideas how to repair it? My searches have come up that they...
I decided to get in the tank with a scotch brite and some dish soap. I had already taken a pressure washer to it and took out the dust and whatever but the water scum remained and the pressure washer had no effect on it. The combo of scotch brite and dish soap wiped the scum off very easily...
If you have a M1009 you will need to DEQ it where any other car needs to be DEQed ie, portland metro area. If you have a diesel with a GVW over 8500lbs like a M1008 it will not have to be tested. The fact that your CUCV is emissions exempt and as has no emission controls just means you will not...
Recovery4x4,
What I have read online is that chlorine eats into stainless making it harder to clean. The damage may not be visible at first. Temperature also affects it's effectiveness. I expect my tank already has had chlorine in it from previous military cleanings, but there is no way to know...
Are you guys saying not to store water in it? I'm on a well and when the power goes out it has stayed out for days in the past.
I used to work next to a chemical plant that vented off chlorine at night(not always sure how accidental it was). It would close off your breathing, you would have to...
HI,
I just brought home a M149a2. I've read here a little about cleaning and sanitizing with chlorine, but I've read online not to use chlorine and I don't want that taste or smell. I certainly don't want to damage the stainless tank and I'd like to remove the iron water stains. I also wonder...
maybe a little less than scrap price if he does the work of getting rid of it for you. I personally would give it to him, sounds like a worthwhile project rather than have it end up in china.
Prying against the head of the riv nut was the ticket. I had one of the three that would remove so I concentrated on the one next to it, then used the bracket itself for leverage on the top 2. One funny thing is when the bracket was installed a piece of gravel was caught between the bracket and...
My search says the antenna bracket is held on by riv nuts. Three of the 4 bolts have spinning riv nuts. I'm not familiar with these fasteners. Can anyone give me some ideas/tips on how to remove the spinning bolts so I can remove the bracket?
Thanks
