Years ago, I was on the Volunteer Fire Dept. I remember training sessions where they called it a "road Pump". You went through a separate procedure. - Its probably like described above.

The kind of clearance light in you picture was available back in those days too. As above, not all vehicles had them. Today, its not a bad idea to have plenty of lights, even though they were not required. There are bulbs available for that light, in all voltages, even 6 volts. Lee in Alaska

that engine goes back to the '40s,. it was tried and true, but often MV's are run with little or no maintenance. To do the engine right, check the taper in the bore. If it has more then about .0010, it needs to be bored and re-fitted with oversized pistons/rings. Everything needs to be...

It would be a great donner. Especially, if you had a runner. Just getting that ground pounder off there is a good day. I assume somebody else will do it. Also, how is it mounted? If they did a bunch of welding to the frame, that will take time to fix.. Soooo, I guess $500, isn't a bad...

Is that the GMC with the automatic? I'm not good on my M numbers. If it is, it drove the winch from the T-case. Seems like the lever to engage it hooked to a cable housing that moved the PTO control rod. Was the stuff that the lever mounted to, permanent under the seat? I'm pretty sure the...

They changed them then. My old 105 had a flat ones. If its a bowel shaped one, take it and the spring to a heavy truck place. It probably uses a standard brake type diaphragm. It might be an over the counter item. They come in several sizes. good Luck

OK, I'm starting to get it. My density compensator has been removed, so it is just tuned to run straight diesel. That is where I am loosing it. I have had the truck for about a year, and haven't had much time with it - only burned a half tank of fuel or so. But I bet the filters were half...

Some of the early trucks back in the 50ies used a flat diaphragm like that. Find a good heavy truck store and they should be able to get one. I would guess that some where, there are some military repair Kits for that. Midland is an air valve/air brake component Mfg company today. Also go to...

Thanks jasonjc. Do you know where it crosses back over to the right side?

Thanks for the information about the filters, but I am trying to understand the routing of the lines. Why is there a tee at the secondaries that goes to the rear, if the primary is under the alternator? Lee in Alaska

From the two secondaries, what is the line that goes to the rear, down along the frame. Is that primary ever up graded to a paper type cartridge?

Immediately under the alternator is a filter canister. It has what I call, "an old time cartridge" that is washable. Its fuel. The fuel line comes from the tank, turns right and goes forward up the right side of the frame, to this filter canister. Is this a primary filter? From here, the...

A set screw for the shift forks. Or to lock the the reverse shaft in place, Does it have an allen socket in the back? Good it didn't get picked up in the gears. Lee in alaska

I think you have made a very wise decision. In my mind, any way you look at it, your pickup and trailer, are overloaded with the A3, if not legally, but literally. Even when little stuff goes wrong, things can get very messy. I have been stopped so many times, even when I think I'm legal, and...

That combination is going to look awful funny, and can attract attention. DOT will require brakes on all axles. While you may technically be set up for trailer brakes on the Deuce, it really wasn't ment for that purpose. If you have an accident with it, your not going to have an excuse. They...

You can be as careful as you can, but jasonjc has it nailed.

No, I always just rebuilt the old one. Do they make after-market new ones? Can't you just rebuild the old one. They sometimes even sleeve the old ones to bring the bore back to original specs. Lee in Alaska

Maybe I'm color blind, but I can't even read that blue stuff. Did you want Folks to read it?

I have always just set them in the center position, and forget about it. I think it was supposed to produce more carb heat, in the winter. Dan has a good feeling for them. Some of the other early vehicles, like the Internationals, in line sixes, had the flapper on a heat sensitive spring, so...
