    brake problem!

    Jasonic, That is exactly what I have been talking about ever since I started on this site.Yours look no diferent than any I have examined. I am positive it is because the silicone fluid keeps the water seperated so well that it eventually builds up in the cylinders. The hydraulics have...

    Rush hour traffic..(Beware attempt at humor)

    Roller fairlead for a deuce

    Things done wrong

    We have a hood that sat too long and spread out like you said. Fixed it with a ratchet strap. Just put it around the widest part we could slip it to and wound it down. Gave it a couple extra cranks just to over spring it and its back to perfect.

    brake problem!

    Of all the issues we have found with brakes on Deuces and Five ton trucks, It has always come down to removing the wheels and rebuilding or replacing the wheel cylinders. All the pressure that is supplied by the MC/ Airpac will move the pistons in the wheel cylinders but the return springs...

    my m52a2 build thread

    Jeff's M52,painted with the Gillespie 24087 looks really good. Are you going to restore it or jsut play with it? I'd loose those ten-ton mirrors. They stick out way to far. They will cause you a lot of aggrivation when you are in tight places. Any way it looks great so far.

    Handle looking things on frame??

    They still ain't no tie down points. That is what those ringy things hanging on the bumper are for. And I still don like not "x"ing the chains but it seems we had this discussion. BTW I rigged many vehicles to RR cars back in the day. Never heard about loosing one either.
