I need to figure out how to redirect some of that oil up onto the sides of the bed... Make that rust stop! That look is definitely improving lately though. Slag gun like you would use for welding chips paint almost as well. Mask, Hat, Gloves... Steam rather than a pressure washer would...

Thanks M35A2-AZ . I have been steadily sawing between the leg and the box with a hacksaw blade affixed to a saws-all. Worn out two blades so far (between the two sides of the truck). I got the bottom free on both - or at least free as far back as the blade will reach. I have about another...

New Progress! 8 inch Bore Brush made all the difference in the world! Okay, so it isn't really an eight inch bore brush... More like an eight inch wire brush for cleaning a chimney - but I am making steady progress getting the rust out of the outrigger pockets! No job is really done without...

Thanks Wes. I was just sure I had to be overlooking something. The link you sent confirmed what I needed to know about lines. The rest I will get with a little more "seat time". It seems strange the way the air and the hydraulic lines are weaved under my truck. One of the things I was...

Seems that the answer to everything is to look it up in the TM's. Maybe I don't have everything... I have the -10, the four volumes of the -24 and two volumes of the -24P and I am here to tell you - either I am stupid or there are no decent drawings of where the hydraulic lines go on this M936...

Me either except for headlights. Mine are Jeep Cherokee (I believe) lights. Plugged in and perfectly happy at 24v. Only thing strange is the "High Beam" & "Low Beam" wires on my truck are apparently different from the Jeep. High Beam Indicator light ON means lights are on Low... I read a...

I figure I should be able to plug an LED bulb into that socket - once I get some sockets that aren't rusted out... Have you by chance found the LED bulb that fits the "stock" lights?

They had two and I got both of them. Shipping was reasonable too! THANK YOU!

Thanks! I made the offer. Looking forward to fixing something easily for a change...

On a quest for the rubber inserts and socket for the amber and red Side Marker lights... I looked in the TMs and said words that are not family friendly trying to get the part number. Picture below is what I am looking for. Not trying to be cheap, but I would think if they are available -...

Strange. I know that on the 40's vintage duces I have worked on, the mounting is a little different too. A lot of them have something that looks like a muffler clamp that the tank sits on. All the same - finding that (factory mounting) tank on the horizontal metal plate - and rusted through...

Oh wow! I love the seats!! Air Ride is a MAJOR upgrade from the bench seat for Soldier 2 and the spring seat for the driver... Need more pictures too. It looks like some major adjustments have happened behind the cab. Like the name too... Fluffy. Ha!

Definitely a fine looking crew you have there! If you haven't named them already, I propose "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod" :)

I just ordered mine on Amazon this morning. Same $5.27 a can with free delivery on orders of $25 or more. I didn't have to go fetch it that way. I am using my spray to go between the spring brake air tank and the metal plate that it rests on... Making a cushion and waterproofing all in...

What I miss most when wrenching on my machine is the massive bins of fittings and rolls of nice juicy wire braided hydraulic hose. The nut and bolt bins were pretty impressive too. When I was paid to work on these things, the company I worked for had an amazing parts department. Today the...

It wasn't for me either, but with the truck off and "shop air" plugged into the truck - it made finding the source a lot easier. What surprised me was the design. A "metal tank" bolted down onto a "metal plate" with two U-Bolts. No rubber bumpers, no cushion at all. Obviously it was a pretty...

Well, in the grand scheme of things I can't say that it surprised me when I found a little spot of rust was the problem... I have had an ongoing battle with the stuff! I had a persistent air leak that sounded like it was under the drivers side step. There is a wad of air lines in the "box" in...

Thanks simp5782 ! Sorry for the bad information ramdough

Not sure - but is that some sort of "muffler" clamp on the torque rod? That seems odd, but maybe it is different than the trucks I have crawled under?

Thanks zebedee ! It is a nice "sanity check" to hear that somebody else has observed what I am seeing. It is definitely obvious to me that these trucks were different than the others. :) I have done an amazing amount of digging. Trying to find pictures that aren't somebody selling a...
