Still plugging away at it, two knee replacements and a shoulder surgery slowed me down for a few years but I'm still going

Yeah baby!! You struck gold when you found that cap for the access home in the back of the carrier....those are made out of unicorn bone.

You keep replacing parts, combat32, and you'll last forever, Brother:

- Machine looks GREAT

You keep going Strong!!!

Pretty sure I got that from Red River a few years ago, he may still have more

Anyone remember where they got their tractor to trailer brake line made

I got mine off of E-Bay. I just checked and there is a set for sale or $45.

Finally got myself a spin on oil filter adapter, the finest Chinesium

Don't forget the ONLY engine oil for ANY Detroit 2-cycle is DELO 100 straight 40wt.

ANYTHING else will coke up the rings and ruin your cylinder walls & pistons.

Yes, the military used generic diesel oil in them. Low mileage on tacticals possibly saved them from failure, but I've seen many junk 53 series motors up for sale on GovPLt.

Yes, it is still manufactured and available. No, Rotella straight 40wt has too high ash rating for your baby.

Are you sure? Those look like regular old brake lines for the wheel cylinders , I'm looking for the one that connects between the quick release on the tractor to the trailer brake lines.

I can't swear they are the ones you are looking for, but when I was looking for the same lines as you, I did a quick search on E-bay and got what I needed, easy peasy. We also have a local place that will custom make any line you want, perfect made every time and affordable, but that doesn't do you any good unless you have a local version for yourself.

Ok

Thanks, still looking

If you're bvixed into a corner, nothing to lose in asking:

- Will they ship?

Yeah, they might say NO. But, they might say YES. And maybe the cost won't be scary!

"boxed"

 

[combat32]

Finally took my NOS tailgate out of the box, it looks pretty good, one rust thru hole on the top corner

Pressure Relief Valve, combat32?

Or what is it that we're looking at here?

 

[combat32]

Fumoto valve, to replace the standard oil plug, makes oil changes much easier

 

[combat32]

Found my original jack, it is a horrid piece of equipment, display only item

 

[combat32]

One of my brake drums is cracked, fortunately it's the only one. I have a spare so should be ok.

 

[combat32]

Repack wheel bearings, new wheel cylinders, so far so good, doubt I get finished today
