Is it spinning because the bearings/bushings are galling to the distributor shaft like a lubrication issue? I'm understanding you are having difficulty holding the housing from turning with the clamp right?
I'm all set up at N39. left a bunch of stuff home... Just could not do part with it.
We ate like kings, Fried Tilapia, Ramen noodles, Eggs, Vienna sausages, a stick of butter so far...
We are 40 yards from the bathrooms
I need some M105 bows.
No, no I disagree.
Anybody who jerks around with his avatar as much as he does has to be a legend. I still have no idea what he looks like or what he drives.
I don't fear much on these old things, but I treat the transmissions with respect. Having said that, I would tear the governor cover off and see what is wrong. Cracked cover, bad diaphragm??? I suspect there is no adjusting, only a spring and maybe a check ball??? Post what you find.
I really...
What was the cost of the new line?
I pulled the far rear driveshaft. I hope to get rid of the binding on hard surfaces and when turning. this should make it a better driver. (I hope this keeps me from cutting the rear axle off)
Yea, I spent some time bleeding the vent lines ;). I actually took a hose off. It looks like one brake hose for each side. At least that is what I thought until I started tracing lines and noticed it smelled like grease inside. When I put air to it in frustration and it hissed under the hood, I...
The easy way to bleed brakes.
I found the problem. The last picture. The hose that goes to the axle lays in a channel. The rust and dirt swelled and pinched off the hose.
I decided to drag the bed off and remove the fenders. I don't like laying on my back anymore. My head is too scarred up. Since the airpack is looking at me, I may just decide to rebuild it and replace some brake lines.
I may re-do some of what I did. I may rebuild a different hitch, rewire tail...
I recall front or front (rear) axle??? I don't remember. I suspect this is the wrong thing to do. I will look into where I found it just for conversation. Anyway, I think I'm gonna lift the bed off. That thing scars the heck outa my head.
The new Brake Bleeder worked awesome! I took and old master extension and cross threaded 1/4" npt nipple in it and connected an air fitting to it. That way I don't spray fluid like a fire extinguisher when it is disconnected. I did get up to 25 psi.
On the airpack, I cracked the line on the...
I'm getting mine back next week with no glass. I don't understand the issue. My plan is to get on the phone, order a piece of laminated glass to the size I need and glue it in myself. I have an aftermarket hard top that required a modification of the WS frame. I cut, ground and welded so I would...
We are ready and loaded. Cannot wait for the canned peach half! We will get there Thurs evening or Friday morning. Have to head out at 6pm Saturday since I work at 11pm. Unfortunately I wont have time to bring the deuce. Just bringing the M105 trailer I modified. :cry:
Everything I have so far...
I'll give an opinion on the brakes. I would rather pull the shafts and remove the drums/hubs as one unit. You have a lot of room and it is very easy. You get to inspect the seals this way.
