Deuce 'n a Half Brake Job; Non-Stop Action...

This old 1970 M35A2C needed some TLC in the binder department. What should have been a relatively quick project turned into months... Not sure how that happens with projects??
The brakes ended up getting a complete overhaul, and no proper project is complete without finding other issues along the way.

    You answered two questions I had. You came up with a brake bleeder, and you stuck with the DOT 5 the military used. Mainly wondered about bleeding the brakes. Without a bleeder type device it's damn near impossible to bleed the brakes on a Duce once you had it apart as far as you did. I worked on one or 300 Duces in my past career and you called it they are a pain in the back. 5 tons are even worse. Cracked up hard at the "Just back from the machine shop." Seriously man, I did spray some beer on that one. 🤣🤣 Take it easy man. Thanks for the vids. 😎

    Yup your button fell off. You did everything I did when I got mine. I also converted all copper air lines to modern DOT air brake line. All belts, hoses, fluids, air tanks, rebuilt parking brake, speedo cable, parking brake cable, fuel pump, booster pump, hydraulic head o rings, converted to spin on oil and fuel filters, motor mounts, cab mounts, transfer case mounts, rebuilt front pumpkin, locking hubs, battery cables, rebuilt wiper motors, new battery box, I'm sure I left stuff out.

Drill and tap a 1/8 NPT hole in them to attach my pressure hose fitting to. I use 1/4" nylon DOT. Air kine and fittings as i work in a heavy truck shop and have them around.
