On my truck the tube joint to the radiator was cracked. We rebrazed it along with other areas that had come apart. Seems pretty common prblem on these deuce radiators. It is maybe 1/4 OD and just fits in the neck there and it brazed in. The tube runs down the side of the radiator to let the...

I went thru this on my deuce a few years back. Decided to make new pins (6x) 0.010" oversize and ream out the bushings to clean up the wear. Worked out for me but had access to a machine shop. Needed new pins anyway they were worn. I could not find the bushings for the leaf springs either at...

Glad to hear you are doing ok now. You are right - Canadian Method all the way...

ALCO - honorary steam locomotives

I have one yet to install. Claims to work for multiple vehicles including M37. Out of stock at Eriks. Maybe give them a call? Google is giving me nothing. https://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/liswadcafrma.html

My experience a couple years back you are better off with a good used take-off. Bought one NOS from TNJ Murray and it did not fit. Was close but just not quite right. TNJ swapped me out for a good used take-off which worked. Of course long term this is not a viable solution...so it's a valid...

If it leaks from the top of the fitting you might be Ok. Mine leaked from where the fitting screws into the head.

The truck will run pretty good with a leak from a crack. Take a good look at #3 after you get it cleaned up. Seems to be a common failure point. As mentioned above, if it leaks around the fitting it is usually a crack and it cannot be repaired. The viton seals go under the head itself. If it...

Maybe the 8th circuit is for the receptacles on the front of the unit?

Movie "The Outpost" about the battle of Kamdesh had a lot of footage where the HUMVEE's are used as machine gun posts. Looks like the armored ones could take a hell of a beating from small arms fire...

Looks to me like it has 7 single phase 15A 120V connections and one 3 phase connection. Probably pretty useful on a jobsite.

I was curious as well. One type charges a capacitor after opening and uses that stored power to close the valve when you cut the power. Some energy is needed to maintain the charge in the cap...but less then maintaining a solenoid in the open position it appears.

Love that dump truck. Any more information available on that?

Benefit of the electric switch, you can tie it into the ignition, which seems to be the first thing everyone is going to in this emergency...not much thinking needed. Normally closed I imagine is a spring return. Relatively fail-safe. As for price, typically items available from McMaster-Carr...

If you are adding a remote reservoir to your master cylinder you will delete the vent line. If you are keeping it original the line connects to the slobber tube unless I am mistaken. Runs into a "T" and then to the slobber tube. I think the other side of the "T" is a fuel tank vent.

Yes you are right - my mind slipped on that one. Steel nuts.

This might work. Rated for continuous duty. Interesting concept.

If the nuts you have are brass I would say yes. I can't remember what I had on the original lines but I used new ones when I did the cunifer.

Might be able to remove the flame heater nozzle from the manifold and activate it without start to see if it is spraying fuel.

These would work on M123 10 ton trucks I believe...not sure the values.
