Ok, brake system overhaul is done, now I'm replacing the rear main seal which was completely worn. Bearing and crankshaft journals looked good, not too much crud in the pan.

Congrats! BUT...…………….no pics = never happened

Ok, I've started on the brake rebuild, and I've also rebuilt the carburetor. Carb was full of crud, and wheel cylinders seeped out fluid and destroyed the shoes. New lines and hoses too!

Remove plug on #1 cylinder, slowly turn it over with your thumb in the hole. Make sure it's actually on TDC for #1 not 180 degrees out ( would be on #4 then). Air will blow out your finger if you're actually on #1.

No need for synthetic oil, and 10w-30 is too **** thin. use straight 30 or maybe 40 in summer.

Rotor in distributor turns CCW. Bring engine to TDC by crank mark, that is #1 cyclinder. firing order is 1-3-4-2. #1 is front cylinder, rearmost is #4

She's actually in very nice shape. NO rust, but mechanically neglected from sitting. Here's what's going on: 2 new batteries and correct hold downs, complete rebuild of the entire brake system, carburetor rebuild, distributor overhaul, and fixing all the evils people have done to the...

Ok, will do and thank you!

So I recently purchased a 1953 Jeep M38A1 that I'm in the process of working on. Vehicle is all there, NO rust, just fixing the usual issues it had from sitting ( no brakes, gummed carburetor,garbage batteries). It has a rather large radio mast in the left rear corner, and the guy I bought it...

Picked up a nice clean M38A1 on Monday. Lots of little things to do to bring her back to her former glory, this hobby is VERY addicting!

Ok will do thanks!

One can ALWAYS find a short-cut method to disassemble anything. It's a little more difficult to reassemble usually. I've watched guys remove cylinder heads with engine cranes so they can "sneak" a head gasket out without unhooking anything. But unless you have pancake fingers how are you...

So it turns out the Deuce I purchased few months ago doesn't have "real" unit markings on the front bumper ( horrors). How would I go about marking it with " real" unit insignia.......is there somewhere I can look up what might be real? The publications I've seen only indicate "how" to do it but...

Only a few places it can go, if it’s a line or wheel cylinder it’s visible. Master cylinder or Airpac is my guess .

Campaigning huh? Well, I'll give a shot at it! New member here, new MV owner, and having fun meeting great folks at events and I look forward to all!

Ok, new wheel is installed! Looks better and more importantly, gives more room. Oh and y'all are right, it ain't hard to steer!

If the people before you weren't diligent in bleeding air out of tanks the bleeders get plugged up with crud. Replace them with the new style with cables on them so you don't have to crawl under the truck...

I've been driving my Deuce a LOT......we even go out to dinner with it

The OCD guy inside me started shaking.....

What scares me is that statement actually makes sense!
