Here's a couple pics of the airpack before I did any cleaning up. As you can see, the dirtiest part is a small section of the piston and seal. I'm sure a lot of the hydraulics are probably good, but since the deuce is new to me, I am going thru the complete hydraulic brake system for "peace of...

Got the master cylinder rebuilt tonight. Air pack is next.

Took the rest of the airpack apart tonight. The valving part, I guess you would call it the regulator part of it. Super clean! no rust or dirt or brake fluid!

Ordered the rebuild kits from Erik's. Time to start cleaning some parts!

What time on Wednesday do y'all meet?

Barrman, you're just 30 miles down the road from me.

Here is my new Deuce with the canvas and without. I also got the 10 original tires that was on the truck when the previous owner bought it from fuzzytoaster.

Yep, the previous owner and I were searching Facebook for you a few days ago. Needless to say, we found you. He contacted you about some paperwork.
