It's gonna be a much better truck when you get done with it HN6!

Of course. I should have realized it was dropped. I had my front end up in the air on my driveway for two weeks. I used 6" x 6" lumber under the jack stands and never got under the truck while it was up. Glad my driveway held up. Nice welding by the way! Thank you for the pictures. I'm...

I had damaged front brake linings too. Someone left two 3/8" steel nuts in the drum. I didn't have the bent shoes you do though. I wonder what could have caused them to bend inward like that? That's some pretty thick steel. I see you have a new pair of hubs too.

How often do you get this lucky? I went down to my basement shop for the 723 rd time yesterday looking for a bolt for Brutus. I opened one of my nut and bolt drawers and found two 1/8" NPT 90 degree hose barb fittings! Praise Jesus!!! I probably bought those things 30 years ago. Anyway, I...

Mr. Cattlerepairman.....I've been wanting to know for a long time.....what the heck is a SM-G950W and Tapatalk????

HN6 yours was a useful post for me. Your pictures reminded me of where the T-case and tranny vents are. Now I can plan on how I'm going to replace those vents. Thank you!

That just happened to me a month ago. I took the front axle vent off and when the last thread came clear I couldn't believe the pressure behind the puff of air. I had just replaced my front inner axle seals, bearings, and brakes the previous Summer. The seals held thankfully.

I'm pretty sure you can just crawl under the truck, reach up an wiggle the caps on both. I'll probably take the transmission tunnel cover off to replace mine. I'm just wondering what the clearance is and if I'll need to use a 90 deg. street elbow to reduce the height.

Ok. Good to know. I got 70 miles into a trip to N.Y. State when I discovered my rear axle was blowing gear oil all over the place. The vent was stuck and the heat in the axle causes the air to expand pressurizing the oil past the seals. I recently did the hose barb and tubing thing on my axles...

NY you really have to watch your T-case and transmission vents to make sure they are not stuck in the down/closed position. They can make a small leak much worse. I know from personal experience. The parking brake assembly is one of the easier things to fix on a Deuce. I redid mine including a...

Good job inspecting it. I'm glad you found my post useful. In my case, I think it was due to decades of moisture in my compressed air causing the steel cylinder bore to corrode. That corrosion also scored the piston and o-ring. It was a very loud air leak. Impossible not to hear it even with the...

https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/air-shift-service-before-swap-m35a2.198709/#post-2316284 I hope I did this right. Above is a link to a post I made concerning the transfer case air shift cylinder. I had to replace mine. The symptom was a huge, rushing air leak whenever I attempted to engage...

That's the speedometer drive. It looks like you need a new speedometer cable too. The outer covering has to be intact to protect the inner drive cable and it's jacket from corrosion. One of the earliest repairs I made on my Deuce was replacing both the tach and speedo cables because the gauges...

Sometimes life's events have a habit for getting in the way don't they! What part of Illinois? I went to high school in Wheaton which is about 28 miles West of Chicago.

Your Deuce is starting to look really nice! Love the winch! If that's all of the oil or sludge you got, I wouldn't worry about it too much as long as your air pressure comes up in a reasonable amount of time. It could be the result of years of slight leakage past the compressor rings. It...

RT-910 huh! That should mean it's direct in 5th high range otherwise known as 10th. I believe the RTO-10 was the overdrive version. I used to drive a s/a White 4000 that had a 6-71 and an RT-910. I loved driving that little guy. I was divorced before I bought Brutus, so I don't add lawyers fees...

8v-71 Kenworth now yer talkin! 13sp? Hey, do you add in the kitchen reno to the "true cost of owning a Deuce"?
