Brake Lines
I moved my truck from the machine shed and put it into my free stall barn over the winter. However, the truck died before I could drive it in. I had to use a some boards and my tractor to push it in. I'm replacing some of the steel brake lines and I'm having a difficult time bending...
Frame to Axle Line Verification
The line on the left uses a 3/4" wrench and the line on the right uses a 5/8" wrench. The lines are frame to axle. I was told that the one on the left is the vent line. Just wondering if there is a p/n: for this. Can the brake line be used in its place?
I ordered some frame to axle brake lines from memphis equipment and just looked at my truck and found out that there are two different size line fittings on the axle. Man, what a shock. Does any one have a p/n for the larger size. The smaller one uses a 5/8" wrench and the larger one uses a...
I swaped out my light switch with the one Catman lent me, and my front end lights work. yea haw, but the drivers side began to have a milky white water flow pattern on the backside of the clear lense and a POP and the light went dark. The passenger side is showing that milky pattern on the top...
Picked up my fuel tank last week, had it cleaned out and sealed on the inside never to rust again. The place gave me a can of the sealer with he thinks is enough to seal the pump housing. Sand blasted the fuel float assy and the nozzle fill insert today and will seal those to if i have enough...
M1010Plowboy,
Did they make them from scratch? I'll have to search around down here to see if I can get some made. I just picked up a M104A1 Trailer with the assistace of Catman. He gave me the history on this trailer and is about 99% complete and all original. I posted the pics on my 1953...
I was wondering if anybody would know, where I can get some Frame to Axle Rubber Brake lines as listed in the TM9-8024 pg 451 fig 252? I'm looking for 6 ea. 4 for truck and 2 for spares.
Received the NOS carb rebuild kit and a NOS engine oil filter today. A few days ago I received one of my tail lights along with a M135 Muffler that I got from a friend in Michigan. It's just like christmas in April. Needing for the weather to warm up and dry out so I can work on my brakes.
I looked at the truck last night and hendersond was right. I found where it bolts to. It bolts to the spare tire arm hindge on the exhaust side. It must be a heat sheild. A million thanks for everyones info. I learned a bunch, should warm up a little so I can get back on track working on my...
I posted a thread on the trailer page. Saying that I wondered if I put 11.00-20's on this trailer, would they fit. I have 13 11.00-20's in my free stall barn that I can use. Could they have put a M105 box on a M104A1 frame? I've tried calling you, but I keep getting your voice mail.
Hendersond,
That's awesome. It'll most likely be picked up on a Thursday. Catman wants to come with me. Hopefully we can meet up. I'm hoping that I can put 11.00-20's on this trailer, so it'll match my M135.
I'm moving along slowly on my project, The cold temps have slowed me down a little. I found a M135 on display at a VFW in belleview, WI outside of green bay. I'm going to use this a visual aide in my project. Now I'm going to look for a tarp for my new/old trailer. I have to wait for the EUC...
M104A1 with a M105 box.
Good news I just won the bid from the Government Liquidation a posted 1953 M104A1 trailer but I think it might have a M105 box on it. The year is a good match for my M135.
Pulled both seats out yesterday and took apart the wheel cylinder. The cylinder is in bad shape on the edges and I picked up a rebuild kit. Now I need to start working in the cylinder and see if I can get it put back together.
The radiator shop gave me a estimated cost of $100. To clean and seal the inside. I pulled the brake shoes off the left rear axle and about to remove the lower wheel cylinder. Going to see if I can rebuild it and possibly buy 1 or 2 more just to have. Cleaned up the fuel float but still have...
