a trick i learned some time ago was put it in the 4-way position and let it sit that way while you do your pretrip, or are puttering around in...
I always had 50-50 success brazing cast iron cracks and breaks, and brazing it is very time consuming.. About 35 years ago i learned Nickel Rod is a very good friend to have with your arc welding supplies.. Expensive but it does the job well and it's strong .. I use an old-school typical...
as far as military or farm or commercial engines go, I use 10W-40 in three items i use year-round..
But with everything else that's also dated pre-1975 i stick to what's in the manuals or on the dash tag or on the LO .. This means 99% of my stuff is SAE-30 .. (SAE-40 if the engine is very worn)...

I recall a vacuum line running to the round diaphram...
1: At quick glance the markings are telling me left-to-right, 7th Infantry Division. (although IME should be marked 7ID). Then , 7th (BN? Group? could be anything) of the 155th something or other type (individual unit).. Could be 155th armor, 155th infantry, 155th signal, 155th artillery etc...
my father spent the final weeks of the war in Germany and stayed afterwards as part of the Constab until late-1947 or early 1948 , i forget. He talked highly about the ford jeeps , some having the script, and mentioned the time he unknowingly grabbed a 4-wheel-steer from the motor pool to go...

about half the fleet are rescues from town and county highway depts that apparently don't know there's such a thing as a water hose

1: i've successfully done the old metal ones but only in the sense of a decent clean & lube was all they needed
2: i've have several plastic ones doing same as yours but sometimes a clean & lube doesn't do the job and that's as far as i go, don't have time to fuss with them more than that ...
