    Brake Bleeding

    Thread has been dead so I figured I'd give an update. Have decided to stay away from the gasser with leaky wheel cylinders even though it has no rust, great paint job, and new tires. It also had a somewhat high mileage than I would have liked although I can't remember off hand what it was...

    I found a deuce with a plow, but no winch. Would have to get the winch kit. Looking around for information on whether or not both the original winch and 9ft plow would be too heavy together. I see it has been done with 5 tons but not the 2.5. Anyone have any experience or input about this issue?

    Starting to warm up to the idea of a gasser. Sounds like this could be unique. It appears this truck may be a M44, however it should have singles and I am puzzled by the White Motors Straight Six engine. aua I see that the gasoline variant is powered by the 127hp OA331, made by REO and...

    Well after making some calls I located good condition multifuel engines with all the works for between 800 to 1500. After getting chewed out for turning down a good work truck for the only reason being the engine type, I am now considering getting this truck and doing an engine swap when I have...

    I called the guy and he said it was gasoline. He had been driving it so it has to be. By any chance that it was a multifuel engine, it is probably damaged. Could possibly do an engine swap. Have seen multifuel engines selling for around 600 bucks. Would also need a new injector pump, lines, and...

    No engine pics. This is the truck I was going look at today. Decided not to when I found out it wasn't a multifuel. Looking for others m35a2s in the northern Great Lakes area.

    Here it is. Too bad it's a gasser.

    My buddy who is a mechanic did some looking in his engine books and did find that White Motors did make a 6 cylinder gas engine in the 1960s. Funny that it would be put in a deuce during a time when the multifuel was taking over. Perhaps in 1966 during the heart of the Vietnam war when...

    Truck is in perfect shape except front wheel cylinders leak. No rust, has winch. Has wider tires with 3 rows of tread compared to the standard NDs. Could get it for around $3000. Wondering if it is worth buying, or save for a multi fuel deuce.

    White Motor Company Gas Engine? I'm curious, did White Motor Company make a gasoline engine? Was going to look at a 1966 deuce tomorrow and was told by the seller it had a "six cylinder white engine", but was just informed today it ran on gasoline. :( Looked online and it seems that White...

    Thanks for the responses. The advice I got from friends and mechanics locally was to just add more brake fluid if the leak is slow. Said wheel cylinders can slowly leak out over storage. We have had snow on the ground 6-7months, which was roughly how long this truck was likely stored. I suppose...

    Hi all Going to go look at a deuce this Saturday and if everything checks out will pick her up. Seller says everything is good except for the brakes. Pedal goes to floor and wheels have brake fluid drips. Sounds like the wheel cylinders are leaking. Leak happended over winter storage. My plan...
