Did you try Cruiser TEQ? Anything is better than USPS right now.
I didn’t see any on the site but I’ll check again. I got it bled ok. there’s a miniscule leak at the master but tolerable for now. I’ve been chasing an idle problem that came up today. It’s been cutting off sporadically. I adjusted the carb mixture and idle a bit but I think I need to do another valve adjustment now. It was making a knocking sound earlier and was hard cranking after sitting for a couple of weeks. I pulled the plugs and they were very dark so I cleaned them off. I’ve still got some work ahead to get her running dependably. She’s been running very well up until today.
Green Bean, I used the poser method with small zip ties vs string. I also left my pan on top of the gasket with some weight to help meld the cork in to the corners better too. No leaks so it worked. Good luck!

Dang it. I did the same thing to the rear !! Arrrg.!! Should be an easy fix…Video works. Clean rig. Love the sounds of a clattering diesel
Did you recently installl those shackles? I’m pretty sure the angled pieces go on the outsides rather than the insides. The reason (I think) is to provide some protection for the zerk fittings.
Wait! I was wrong. Don’t change anything.
Thank goodness. You gave me a heart attack!! lol.
Do you just drive out the old ones and insert these or is there an STS?
I did he same. The braided stainless line seems high quality and I hope it lasts a long time...I recently installed the master/slave combo from JT Outfitters. It came with a stainless steel braded Teflon line. Easy enough to replace the hard line. I think they sell it separately.
Good job, keep posting with end product!I removed the front leaf springs last night. I'm going to prep them and add a new fresh coat of paint. New shackles, spring pins, bushings will be installed along with a set of new shocks. The bushings were basically disintegrated and most of everything was riding on metal to metal. I'm anticipating a softer, quieter ride.
