I don't know for sure but I have heard they are Timken axles.

Master Cylinder rebuild kit added.

My new master cylinder came in today and I am very happy with what I see. I ended up ordering Raybestos MC2842. I chose that because some of the M35 master cylinders I saw did not have the holes on the side drilled and tapped. We need the top hole, since part of our brake pedal linkage hooks up...

Digital copies are nice but sometimes having a paper copy right by you when you work is the way to go. Ebay has some reasonably priced. Portrayal Press isn't too bad either.

Some of the pictures are on post #451 for when you need them. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?52255-G749-preservation/page46 Kinda threw you under the bus there M1010plowboy.....knew you could handle it though.

Welcome to the forum! I would highly recommend ordering a copy of TM 9-8024. It will be a huge help to you as it was and is to me as I have been learning and working on these trucks. The carburetor will probably need a rebuild. The fuel pump can freeze up if left in old fuel. I'd highly...

My best guess is someone used an M35 master. It all appears to be original Wagner-Lockheed. Everything is identical to the other master I pulled off of a parts truck that came direct from the Army and has not been modified in any way. Just no check valve in that one.

It has been said these trucks are herd animals. See my signature. Somehow ended up with four. M1010plowboy is way worse than me though. When the lady of the house starts complaining, I break out pictures of his herd and tell her it could be worse. :wink:

I pulled the master cylinder off of my truck today and it looked great except for some pitting about 2 inches inside the bore in one place. Enough to cause internal leakage and too much to hone out, so a new master cylinder it is. I'll keep the old master cylinders for the day when it is cheaper...

Good job on digging into those TM's! Welcome to the forum! No ignorance on your part. I think it is safe to say that we are all learning things about these trucks. I'd like to see some pictures of your truck and the engine/transmission combo when you have a chance.

Let me know how it looks since you will probably beat me to getting one. If I happen to get one first, I'll do the same for you.

I am getting ready to either buy a new master cylinder or do a rebuild. Will know for sure what I am going to do tomorrow when I pull one more master cylinder. Check this out and you can see what I am thinking. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?125811-1952-M135-W-Winch/page33 Some...

Welcome from Skiatook!

Will do. I believe that check valve is held in place on the spring by that little tab that is sticking out. Should be as simple is bending the tab and taking it off. We'll see here soon.

Looking forward to seeing your project take shape. Post lots of pictures! Welcome to the forum!

Ok. I believe I have the master cylinder mystery figured out. Here is the G749 master cylinder again. Here is the M35 master cylinder. Here is the rebuild kit. The only difference is the filler pipe, which we would remove from our original and install on the M35 master cylinder, and the...

I just got off the phone with Memphis after noticing that the master cylinder they sell for the M35 is the same as what they are selling for the M135. The man I spoke with said that they have used the same master cylinders on both trucks for years and he has never heard of or seen any issues...

Very cool. Looking forward to seeing your progress!

I just noticed Goose is missing the spare tire carrier. Do you have one for him?

I have been looking at master cylinders and the differences between M135 master cylinders and M35s are the residual check valve inside??? So if we take out the residual check valve, should we be able to use the M35 master cylinder? They look identical on the outside and all Bob Kettler's Tech...
