    Flare and Repair Brake Line?

    I did the same on my M35; ended up replacing all the brake lines in the front using the off the shelf lengths from NAPA. I found out the hard way that you need to file the end down 1/8" after using the tube cutter, because the tube becomes "work hardened" at the cut and will not flare correctly.

    The only thing that has saved me from more MVs is that the GL auctions are usually too far away to trransport!

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    Great Thread! - Thanks for BEHR numbers. I am going to match the Krylon Camo Rattle can. That way I will make for easy touch down the road (not sure how the Kyrlon over latex will work). I will post picts when done with the M105. Attached is the HD BEHR match to the Krylon Camo

    Two Questions

    :ditto: I installed my remote reservoir after the front right brake line let go and I discovered it while going down a very steep hill in town, which I had to ride out into a local farmers field (he was very good about it). That was a adrenaline laced ride and I was very fortunate that it did...

    Stuck between gears

    I had the same problem when going too quickly from reverse to first; the shift tower somehow jumped out of its proper location. I jacked the rear end up to take the pressure off of the transmission. The forks had positioned the gears in both reverse and 3rd (If I remember correctly). If I had...

    Fighting brush fire w/deuces....A2, A3, M36

    Great Pics! Our department has two 3/4 ton we use for brush fires; all the other departments in the area are trading them in for Ford 250's but I do not know why - the M37's will go any where and we don't get a talking to if we scatch the "new" truck!

    Trans stuck in first gear but shifter moves

    I had a similiar thing happen- Pull the top cover and refer to the transmission TM 9-2520-246-34; FIgure 3-3 for the sectional view- this is the neutral position that the transmission should be in when it goes back together- pulling the cover is not a big deal. I reallly should be inspected-...
