Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Thank you 603hellmutt. I found one on ebay for $14 shipped and got it on today. Now I gotta move the truck as it is parked under an 80' black locust tree and the wind has started whipping. I'd hate to see it or the 1082 get damaged.It is the power steering breather, i also had mine mysteriously disappear. Found it on the large E auction site for $20
Same thing happened to mine except I was standing there as the last thread let go from all the shaking the engine was doing and hit the ground. They shake themselves loose after time even when you think they're tight. I reinstalled mine with some 'light hold' Loctite (blue or yellow maybe?)...
In the process of battery service. According to the guy at Auto Zone I got one good TL out of four (thank you Murphy). He said one of them was iffy so I'm charging the two best ones and hope I can just run on two batteries. Otherwise I'm looking at about 300 bucks for two high CCA civy batteries.
It never ends.![]()
Blue is the medium hold if I remember right, and red is the "permanent" (strong) formula.Same thing happened to mine except I was standing there as the last thread let go from all the shaking the engine was doing and hit the ground.

I used teflon thread tape, do you think that will hold?Same thing happened to mine except I was standing there as the last thread let go from all the shaking the engine was doing and hit the ground.

That's a great idea. I don't know the track record against vibration for plumbers thread tape like that, but that was really using the old noggin, for sure.I used teflon thread tape, do you think that will hold?
