Well friends, I tried adjusting that linkage. Seems I had it almost as short as it would go. But I took it apart and cleaned it all up and got it as short as possible. Right up tite inside itself and tite. No more to get without grinding some off the end of the thread and I dont want to do...

Guys, After looking that scematic of the master cylinder over.... Could it be that if I adjusted the linkage shorter it would pull the piston back a little farther and therefore uncover that compensating port?? Any thoughts???

Thanks to you all. I will try your sugestions and get back to you . Regards. Brad Foust

Phil, I have some additional photos I can send you if you give me your direct e-mail. Mine is longhunter@digitalrazor.net. I did try replying to the one the site sent me but then saw it said to NOT REPLY. PS. notice the clutch linkage?? We had to convert to standard transmission due to much...

Seems like I am back here every year at about this time. I been trying so hard to get these brakes right on my late Fathers M135, He and I worked on this truck for years and the biggest trouble is the brakes keep locking up. We lost him a year ago last July and I just cannot give up on this...

Thanks ya'all for responding. Hey SW Bradley1, I assume then you do not know "Willis Clifford Bradley" also from Ohio??? That was my Dad's army buddy from Ohio. I mean you said yer Dad would have been 86 this year. Thats same as my Dad. They were both Korean War Vets. My Dad's army buddys last...

Here is a pic of Dad and his truck while we were working on it.

Mr Bradley?? So odd you should reply? You can see my name is Brad / Bradley. My Father named me for one of his Army buddies. WHO WAS FROM OHIO! His name was / is "Willis Clifford Bradley" Surly, you cant know......................................?????? I mean, would this not be the greatest...

Well friends, it is with terrible sadness I am informing you all of my dear old Dad's passong away here on July 12th. He fought a long hard fight since he had a stroke near 4 years back. And frankly, if the VA and the local hospital had paid more attention he would probably still be with us. Dad...

CORRECTED HOSE INFO: I have appreciated everything you guys have shared with me, so now it's my turn to help if this applies to anyone? Thanks to all for the info and suggestions. I have now (I think) successfully determined the correct, or close as possible correct, flexible brake hosed for my...

More pestering you guys. As I sid I am concerned about the big differance in the front wheel flex brake lines. NAPA says the number 4900 measures 17.5" total overall. I had roughly measured 11". Being concerned I just now went ahead and took off one of the front lines and laying it out flat and...

Thanks so far guys, just checking in. I was able to measure all the lines this mmorning. My only concern is the length of the rubber lines at each front wheel? I measured both sides and though its not exact I cone up with 11" plus the thread lengh on each end. When I give the number to NAPA...

I called NAPA and all those part numbers are available next day except one, which they can get in a few days. But I just want to be sure of what I'm ordering? The right hose for the right place. If someone will look at my list and tell me if I am correct or not? #38297 (28") middle axle to...

I'm a little cornfused? When you state "vent" do you mean it vents the axle, or the brake system?? Ya know, I wondered why in the heck there would be two brake lines, unless it was just for redundancy? But then why just the front wheels and not all? Making more sense. I wonder if NAPA would...

Hi Friends, I am planning on calling NAPA and ordering all the flexable lines. Please look my list over and tell me if I have these part numbers correct? Line at each front wheel NAPA #H4900 (two required) Line to front axle NAPA #35081 (two required) I am not really sure of this? Line from...

Here are a couple pics of DAd and his grandkids. We were able to use some long scaffold stages and get him in the bed of his truck to ride in a local Firemen's parade. Thanks again guys for all the help

Well, thanks to all for all the help over the last few years. The weather is finally breaking here in Western Pa and my Son has already asked me when we were going to "get on" his Pap's truck. Meaning fix these breaks. My Son is an Iraq war vet and has really gotten interested in his...

Hi Dave, thanks again. We bleed the brakes the only way I know how?? My son works the pedal and I crack the bleededs at each wheel, starting with the farthest first. I believe the lines tun the way you describe, but I will check once it warms up a little. I also bleed the air pac. Also, I think...

Found possible cause of problem???? Awhile back as we were all discussing my brake trouble I had mentioned that I had replaced all four of the front wheel wheel cylinders. At that time I believe someone mentioned that if I had used the new rods that came with the cylinders, that might be the...

Thanks all, I'm checking this all out. What do you mean by the copper washers?? At the ends of the brake lines?? Thanks
