All, thank you for the suggestions. I'm no mechanic, but forced to be on this thing at times with no one else around to do it!
One thing I wanted to ADD to the description of the problem. This came on rather sudden. This was not a slow thing to come on gradually. One day she was fine, next...
I can't find an example quite like this one on the posts so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction to start.
When I start up, air pressure comes up and stays good while driving. Brake fluid level is good> While driving though, I have to pump up my brake pedal to get it to be...
Have a 1970 Kaiser M35A2. Can't figure this issue out. Seems to run just fine for about 20 minutes, but after good and warmed up, in 5th gear above 20,000 RPM on the gauge the engine power cuts out. The engine still runs, but there is nothing there when pressing the gas. I have figured a...
One of the two fan belts on my 1970 M35A2, the two redundant ones on the left looking at the engine from the front snapped. I have 2 new belts to replace both, but am having trouble moving the "alternator" on its slide rail to allow for the new belts to go on. I have the nut loose that's on...
Appreciate all the idea's, will unhook the linkage from the back of the pedal first and verify that the pedal itself is the issue. Pretty sure it is. The hing pin at the bottom of the pedal seems to be the source of the creaking and sticking. Anyone ever had to replace just that pin, or is...
What's the trick to getting the accelerator hing pin out? When I depress the accelerator, it makes a crackling noise, and will not come back up without manually moving it back. Linkage looks ok, I just want to get this accelerator off and lube the pin it rotates on. Have banged on the pin...
Rally Update (hours)
We have the parking lot from 0800 - 1500 if we need it. Hope to see you all there. As it stands now, we may only need half the parking lot from the replies thus far. Please let us know if your a "confirmed" attendee so we know how much to block off that morning. rsites...
new tank
Very common issue with the tanks. Most don't drain them as they should when done driving and the condensation at the bottom rots them out. Memphis Equipment sells a brand new one for about $120. Just replaced one last year myself. Tank does not include any fittings you may need...
Canvas Cargo Cover
Be very cautious when buying a Canvas cover. I bought one of many you will see on Ebay and other places, "brand new in the crate" with all the bows and hardware. Looked and smelled just like new. Awesome, I thought! Many of these "new" are very old and seasoned even...
Trouble resolved
Thanks for all the posts guys, but I have officially awarded myself the DumbAss of the Week Award! With all the parade stuff I had on the seat I didn't notice the transfer case lever had been pushed down about 2 inches! That's all it was. :-D
Lost all my drive gears, including reverse yesterday coming back from a Christmas Parade. Think it to be the clutch, but how can I make sure that's it and not the Transmission? Haven't been able to check the Clutch linkage yet, as it's in the 20's and blowing snow today. Seen some posts that...
Not sure what caused this issue to occur.
One of the two Air Tanks under my Deuce, 1970, sprung a leak. Got a new one and replaced the bad as I thought I should. Disconnected the hold down brackets on the two tanks. Drained them of course, and disconnected all the lines between the two...
