My long hard work over winter paid off. I unseized the engine, change the oil, installed cam shaft, push rods, clean spark plugs, repaired the flintstones floor in the cab, installed seats, lights mirrors, put in another fuel pump, bled the brakes and put in new brake fluid. Now to the paint...

Soon as i get the brakes cleaned up and flushed through. I will test out the automatic to see if she moves. Thanks

Thanks! Those gauges are stock from the 50's. I just turned the switch after i installed everything and bam it lit up red. So i was like that is nice i have never seen that before. Yes they are easy to read in the dark.

In October i purchased a truck i have wanted for the last 10 years. A 1956 M135 6x6 Round Nose Jimmy Gasser. (Wanted a Diesel Instead but whatever) I must say since i laid eyes on this beauty in October and joining the Steel Soldiers Forum website i have become determined to prove something to...

Well good news. I opened the plug and the oil was not too bad. No eggnog, tea or water came out. I added some more oil and i worked the joints with some good ole WD40 hit it with the hammer a couple of times and crow bar force and bang boom!!!!#$%$*@*@*# It came loose and now i can lift it up...

I just checked and the shaft between the transfer and the hydra is spinning freely. So i have to get that frozen shifter unstuck somehow. It should have not been seized like that.

What if i cannot spin it. So if the shaft is spinning with the engine running. What does that mean?

I can accelerate the engine with no problem. Its not moving the truck and when placed into gear it doesn't move. Which one is the jack shaft?

Thanks. I have the manuals but sometimes they are not that helpful. I disconnected the lever from the cab to the lever under. And i am trying to move it but it was really not moving up or down. Could it be possible its stuck in neutral inside the transfer case?

Where is that located? Is it in the Transfer Case or outside?

I need some help :tigger:. After some work done on the Engine and Now she purring like a kitten. I try to move it forward but it wont move. aua Trying to lift up the transfer lever to engage it wont lift up? The truck has sat for 15-20 years? Anyone can explain what is going on?

Thank you Porkysplace and M1010PlowBoy to your quick response i appreciate your help. Thank you for the link to the thread of the fuel pumps on steel soldiers. I though i was going crazy. So i only need 2 - 3 psi then. ................I Will Be BACK!!!!

I need to know what pressure the old existing fuel pump runs at? I tested it with a 2-4 PSI fuel faccet pump but it does;nt seem to deliver enough fuel. As i need to modify it and purchase a 24 volt electric. But how many psi should it be? Thank you

So the pump will stay on and running until the vehicle engine is operating? And is there any way of testing those motors out to see if they still work? Thank you for your help and advice.
