Service and Emergency

[touringfordor]

I was cleaning up the tail lights on my '70 M35A2 when I noticed a round, flat surface (covered with CARC, of course) with a cut out stencil of the word "SERVICE" above it on the left side, inboard of the tail light and tucked up close to the bed. There is a similar object on the right side, labeled "EMERGENCY". Would someone please clue me in on what these are?

Here, let me do it for you:


Thanks!

Step away from the truck, and go read your TM manuals. At least, read the -10 Operators Manual.

Hope you know what the little door in the floor, is for...

The little door is to sweep the dirt out right?

Air lines for trailers. They use glad hands to connect.

Agree with reading basic operators manual. It will help you identify components, and give you things to check. There's lots to maintain on trucks; all things considered, deuces are pretty simple.

I downloaded all the -10s and -20s and find myself reading a little something every now and then. They're handy to have.

Thanks for the rapid replies.

I thought the trap door was to drain water after fording? I grew up on a farm with three 2-ton trucks, and a 1-ton. They all had the master cylinder under the floor, too.

The glad hands are there; are these just labels for the glad hands?

I have the TMs , and I go trough them when I can. Lots to wade through, but very worthwhile.

Hopefully I'll get some pics soon. I got the truck in March, but still haven't posted pics.

the left side service works the trailer brakes and air only comes out when the brakes are pressed. the right side emergency is used to air up tires or run air tools and air comes out soon as you open it (if you have air pressure. if neither has air the dirt dobbers have moved in.

And if you did not know what they are for and they were left open(and the military valves are opposite of standard valves), you may find yourself without sufficient brakes to stop. That's why I stressed the importance of simply reading the operators manual.

The deuce along with several other TM's are back on SS , they are located in the forums section now in a new catagory for TM's .
