Do you tune those voltage regulators? I've heard that's a lost art and solid state is the way to go.

I only checked and cleaned the regulator, it seems fine when running.
The engine compartment air ducts were all clogged.

All parts dismantled so far have been sandblasted.

When I shake the sound pan, it makes a funny noise.

 

[HDN]

What is that, some kind of alarm buzzer or horn?

I'll let you guess.
Here it is back up, it should work now.

Low air pressure.

Low air pressure.

I was wondering about that. I've never actually seen the low air pressure buzzer on my truck. Makes me wonder if it looks like that one.

 

[foxtrot]

I still don't know what it is.
It was attached to the accelerator pedal under the floor.
A fluid hose was attached to it.

I'm going to guess it's an air actuated throttle raising device switched from the rear deck engagement lever. This lever at the cab side of the drag winch (on the crane deck) would also actuate the clutch pedal defeat cylinder. Upon engagement it would disengage the clutch pedal and throttle the motor up. This would be after you engaged the brake lock, shifted the transfer case in neutral, engaged the power divider lever in the cab and put it in 4th or 5th gear. Then you would go aft and engage the air switch actuating these two cylinders. Truck would then have power to the crane/winch deck. There's a select lever next to the air switch to choose crane or winch.

It's kinda goofy.

This is best I can remember. My 1967 M543A2 is still remote I hope to have all the brakes done in a month so I can get it back to home base. The next time I'm out there I'll try to grab some pictures. Also I think this may be what I got in a box of loose parts the previous owner had disassembled..... so thanks for the pointer!

 

[KN6KXR]

Well I cleared all the loose parts and took them home. Just went and looked and there it is. Thanks for letting me know where it goes!

 

[foxtrot]

From your photo, the end of the hose extends into a pipe to finish on this valve, pipe from the bottom.
I'll post a picture once back up.

A first for me today, solder on brass.

 

[foxtrot]

Like the cylinder head, the oil cooler was also deteriorated by frost.
I will try to solder it.

Not sure solder will fix it. I think that is made of "pot metal" that is cast. A high temperature epoxy might be a better choice. Let us see if more experienced minds will speak up on the subject.

When i saw faraday on the box i thought it was an EMP detector / alarm just on the faraday cage thing !

This morning I finished assembling the frames of the two mirrors,
I will have to install them at the same time as the doors.
