This one leaked bad at idle and leak dimished as engine loaded up. Fuel came out of vent hole of flange between air pump and fuel pump.

You will have to adapt the air controls on the transmission cover that sync the transmission and the transfer case together as to direction of travel to use a none stock transmission in a M809 series truck. Also measure length of intended transmission to see if it will fit between the engine and...

It will likely cost $1.00/mile to move a deuce at today's fuel prices. Wait a week and it will be more.

Winch is not stock for a front mount winch for a M54. Appears to be a rear mount winch from either a 5 ton wrecker or a 10 ton tractor. No dog clutch. That means power in and out. Whatever power take off and direction of rotation controls will not be covered in the TMs which would describe the...

Get a lubrication order and read it. The key to survival with a vehicle with manual steering is lubrication. There are over 30 grease points on a M35, 4 on the handbrake alone. When coupling the trailer make sure to hook the hoses up correctly, they are not interchangeable and open the valves on...

Gert a lubrication order and read it. The key to survival especially on a vehicle with manual steering is lubrication. A deuce without a winch has over 30 grease points, 4 on the handbrake alone. Neglect them at your own peril. My most recent deuce was neglected in terms of maintenance by the...

It5 isa possible the engine was swapped out and the exchange engine is newer than the chassis. If the axles or transmission have older dates I would go with the oldest date.

You turn the screw clockwise to bypass the fuel solenoid and counterclockwise for normal electrical operation. It doesn't turn too many revolutions from one extreme to the other. With a stick shift truck like a M 817 you can put it in high gear and stall the engine to stop it if you don't want...

I was advised by the resident 10 ton guru to try to maintain engine speed as close to 2700 rpm as possible as that was the diesel engine's "sweet spot." On flat ground they would run, I had a M123/747 combination going 45 mph into Ft. Dix, NJ with a M60 tank on top on Rt 88 which is essentially...

Clutch pedal has the specified free play listed in the TM? The M 37 here is distinguished by having fairly short gear lever throws' when moving front to back like between 3rd and 4th gear. However, the neutral gate is so wide you think you are pushing the lever out the passenger's door when...

Read the reading. There should be a data plate in the cab that identifies the applicable publications. You need a operators' manual organizational maintenance manual parts book and a lubrication order. These may be available in the TM section on this site Grease is cheap Parts cost money Be...

Remember these 500 gallon water tanks are typically not baffled so we hen the load starts to surge side to side as when turning a corner at speed ypu are at risk of rolling the truck mover. This is a common problem with fire departments that make a deuce into a brush truck and then overload it...

The -20 manual says start with the master cylinder then work your way down the line, hydrovac, slave cylinders etc. I had a mechanic replace a hydrovqac on the side of the road when stopped with dragging brakes on a M52A2. Went 100' and brakes dragged again. Replaced master cylinder, problem...

Download the applicable TM which is available on this site and read the section on towing procedure which should answer your questions. The military would normally flat tow a disabled vehicle.

The wrecker looks like it is capable of picking up something heavier than the truck underneath it will support.

Fire trucks typically have tall rear axle ratios and most of them max out at about 52 mph. They are not designed to be interstaters.

Aas in post 3: Don't make a move without the pubs. Read the reading. Military CUCVs are not completely identical to their civilian cousins especially in the area of electricals and if yours has a 24 volt charging system which Army radios require.

Remember M 101s have no in motion brake. Just because you can get it going doesn't mean it can stop.

Air dryers remove moisture from the brake system so it does not freeze in cold weather. The Army issued a kit for M35s and M818s and such that would meter alcohol into the air system to prevent freezing. You still had to drain the tank daily tom expel the moisture. An air dryer would ne more...

You put the outer wheel on the ground lock ring side down with a block of wood under it. Hopefully you have an impact wrench for this, turn in thimble, one part with the square head, in the direction to tighten it. If the wheel was on the passengers side this would be clockwise. The thimble...
