Hi i don’t post a lot here ( i read a lot here ) but this event made me sweat ( real bad ) and just want to share this strange cause of my brake failure.
Used the deuce for work last week and on the way back i had to make a turn and hit the brake
to slow her down ( was going about 45 mph ) but...
last summer i bougt a dump-bed for the deuce. It came from a dutch army truck so i had to make it fit the deuce. After some time of grinding and welding it finally fits the deuce. It was time for the hydraulics. Made a bigger oil tank cause i use the hyraulics of the crane. When everything was...
2 weeks ago we went to a meeting when we arrived the deuce wouldn‘t shift,
the clutch didn‘t work. After some inspections under the truck we found nothing so the problem gets bigger . We removed the small metal plate of the flywheel-housing .There’s a piece of metal falling out that looks like a...
The wheels are from the same russian truck ( ZIL 157k ) the tires where on the wheels when get them and most importend they where cheap.
Parts are not to hard to get but cost a lot and they are not always in good condition. There about 3 suppliers in the Netherlands i now of they have most of...

Flea: i acree with freighttrain.Just a stock(old-style) gasket don’t no the thicknis. i...
well i did solved the oil-leak problem last 3 weeks. The head-gasket was leaking, ( not much but enough to worry about for me ).
To prevent bigger problems i replaced the head-gasket. When waiting for the heads ( they be resurfaced ) i did replace some other gaskets aswell ( oil-cooler...
I posted my oil-leak last week, thank you all for the reply.
Think i find my oil leak !
After a good cleaning of the engine i took the deuce for a ride yesterday, after that i checked the engine. It looks like the oil-leak isn’t a oil-leak but a leaking injector the fuel finds his way between...
[That looks like just a leak to let you know that you've got oil pressure,]
What do you mean by that, you think the oil pressure is wrong ( to high ) ??

O.K. some more pic.s of the truck ( glad you all like the truck )
Same truck ( can’t afford more trucks ) build the crane on the truck just last month.
The crane does fold up but not under tarp. Just cut the bed for 40cm and let the bed-cover resized.
The tires and wheels are from a russian...
Here’s a pic of the oil leak it’s behind the manifold.It does idle sometimes for a longer time with higher rpm when i use the crane.
I will clean the engine and check it after a good ride.
I agree to avoid unnecessary work.
