    brake issue???

    I'm going to guess, no. To the OP, it takes two people to do the pump the pedal and crack the bleeder procedure. If you replaced lines it's going to be easier to bleed them with a pressure bleeder. You can make one from a one gallon garden sprayer. The vent on top of the master cylinder cap is...

    M35a2 horn goes off when ever it wants

    As mentioned above, the horn button does complete the circuit by grounding the wire going into the steering box. If it's not chaffed where the wire comes out of the steering box, follow the wire until you find it. It could be near the valve at the horns too. There's a connector where the wire...

    rebuilding wheel cylinder?

    +3 on replacing the wheel cylinders; they aren't expensive. I honed on one that didn't look too bad for about 15 minutes (should have only taken about a minute) and it wouldn't clean up good enough to make me happy. Replace all the flexible brake lines too. They rot from the inside out.

    I just open the passinger windshield to avoid the bugs that manage to get through. It works well.

    CSX 40w oil

    If it's a detergent oil it should be OK. Is it straight 40w? Might be a little thick in the winter until it warms up.

    m1009 pulling m101a3 over Rockies

    You won't have any trouble finding a slow semi in the right lane to follow up at Eisenhower tunnel. Just don't flog it if you get suck behind a slower than you want to go truck by trying to go around it. It's best to grit your teeth and go slow.

    M275 Pictures

    I took these pictures of a couple of M275s a few weeks ago while I was on a trip. Several people have or are working on deuce tractors so this might help (sorry it took so long for me to get them posted Ray). One thing that surprised me is these M275s don't have a spare tire carrier. I don't...

    Anyone know Home Depot's new code?

    nf6x, glad you eventually had some success. It took the paint guy at my HD about 3 minutes to find it on the computer but it was there. I have to give the guy credit, he didn't give up.

    M1031 Recovery from Redstone, AL

    Dittos on stopping concerns; the tow vehicle will not weigh much more than the towed vehicle. Check the tires on the truck you are picking up, if they are dry rotted, take it slow.

    Anyone know Home Depot's new code?

    I just bought the Behr three color camo paints at HD yesterday. Give them the 5 digit Federal Standard color code and they will mix it for you. I think the codes are in the Behr paint thread or you can get them from the marking and painting TM. Don't have the info with me now.

    Front axle seals and boots stepXstep

    Don't print everything out, only print out the pages that cover what you are repairing. You can word search the .PDF, it's a lot harder doing that with 500 pieces of paper.
