THAT explains the problem I had the other day!!! Thanks for the info!!!!

The one I have is serviceable. I just figured that while I was rebuilding the unit and going to so much trouble that I'd replace the valve. You know how easily they strip the nut when removing them after they've been tight for a while! I haven't been to a "real" parts place yet. Advance Auto...

Hi folks! Merry Christmas!! By any chance, have any of you ever replaced the actual bleeder screw on an M35A1 hydraulic air pack? Know where I might find an exact replacement?? The silly TM doesn't show that bleeder as a replaceable part, although the bleeder for the wheel cylinder IS...

Nathan, Sorry bud, I don't have any advice for you. But I just started seeing the same thing on my IP yesterday. I won't go into any details on my issue, since I haven't had time to deal with it yet. (I'm still fighting with a brake system disaster and don't have the emotional energy to tackle...

How did you get the piston gasket bearing thingy (I don't have the paperwork in front of me right now) - see post #3 herein - out/off without damaging it? Mine is in the body pretty firmly. And I'm not in the mood to damage it.

Okay, I'm a dummy. I'm rebuilding the master cylinder and now I can't remember how the durn plunger assembly goes back in!! What is the order of assembly? The silly TM just expects that the whole unit will be replaced. Sheesh. Anyone got a quick diagram - or photo - of the parts in the order...

Removed both seats - and bases - from the cab. Getting them ready for a new coat of paint. And getting ready for new canvas covers that my dear wife is going to make for me! Note: Don't leave the foam cushion laying in the chair where the dog can get hold of it. 0_0

Good plan! But when she finds out about the air-ride seats I ordered, she'll be mad about spending the money!! aua :-P

Good plan. It's got pretty good foam now, but another layer would be good. But then, my wife is supportive of this little hobby, but not very excited about it!

Well, THAT was easy!! If I hadn't asked, I'd have probably done something stupid and destroyed the whole thing. Now... just waiting on new canvas to arrive so my wife can sew new cushion covers. Thanks for the quick reply!!!!

Before I break out the chain saw, how do you get the back cushion off the back plate on the passenger side bench in a deuce?? It looks like it should either slide up off a keyhole, or snap into something welded on the back plate. But I'm sure not seeing it. And I'd rather get it off in one...

I'll be there! I guess I should put that weekend on my "permanent" calendar every year, eh?

I know I should read all of the post, but I figured I'd cheat here. Who (if anyone) might be passing near Glen on their way east to, through, or near Virginia? Anyone? Anyone? I just want to get a couple of seats back here.

Hey! How much for an air ride seat (the ones shown in post #565)?

I have to admit, that tan and black paint scheme looks GREAT! I'll have to consider redoing the bottom portion of my M109A3 like that. It's currently done in the "standard" three color scheme. I had a good friend who owns a Line-X franchise and did the inside of my cab for free. (Once in a...
