OK, I took some photos of my air pack and master for reference. BTW, a related thread is here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/61605-how-world-do-i-service-my-air-pack-4.html#post951473 Pictures of air pack: Pictures of master: I operated the brake pedal by hand from below...

Yes, I was wondering if the WD would serve as a vehicle to get the lighter oil (MMO or 3 in One) moving along, not as a lubricant. I actually always do drive my Deuce exactly as you describe. That's a lot of the reason I have only seen this brake problem at very low speeds - I usually drive...

From where do I bleed the fluid out of the air pack? From the plug where you squirt in oil (on the back side, I believe)? I have Marvel Mystery Oil, WD-40 and 3-in One to work with. Was thinking of adding some MMO and then WD to help move it along (if I add from the compressor line). I'll...

Clarification: the brake pedal is not sticking. The brakes are grabbing. IOW a small amount of pedal pressure results in as forceful a stop as if you slammed on the brakes. The effect is more pronounced on the first stop or two when the brakes are stone cold. The brake pedal is not returning...

Yes, the return spring is on its last legs. It is easy enough to raise the pedal with my toe after each application for the ride back. One other potentially correlating factor. The brakes grab as described much worse when cold, and even more if cold and damp.

I don't have enough of a window tomorrow to drive the Deuce (out of my way) to the nearest town with either an auto parts store or the chains you mentioned. It is field expedient time. Here is what I have to work with: MMO, 3-in-One, and WD40. If I can I will open the J tube and get it in...

Thanks, that was very helpful and I am sure that that is all or part of my problem. The brake return spring needs to be replaced regardless. I am on the road with limited time and tools. How effective would it be - short term - to simply remove the air line at the compressor (easy to access)...

The brakes on my M35A2 are grabbing. If slowing the truck using the brakes only from, say, around 10 or 15 mph, when I step on the brake pedal the pedal goes down a bit and then has high resistance, with no application. Press harder, and all of a sudden the brakes grab and the truck...
