2nd post...
My brother and I recently purchased a 1968? (I'll make sure) M715 that has been a volunteer fire brush truck for the past 35+ years. I've lived 5 miles from it all my life.
Very little rust and was maintained OK.
We got it running with a rebuilt fuel pump from 'Then and Now' and a rebuilt carb, some new batteries and fresh gas and oil.
I've put the 10-1331 master cylinder on, and am working on the brake lines now.
We've changed all the fluids.
First hurdle.....while refilling the transmission, before the fluid got up to the fill plug, fluid came out quite rapidly at the back of the trans and was running down all over, but the crossmember is in the way so I can't see exactly where its coming from.
Also, on the crossmember, on the vertical part, there is a hole about middle way up closer to the driver side, and fluid was coming out of that area too. What is that hole for? Its visible when under the truck looking at the back of the trans crossmember.
The trans is supposed to be filled up to the fill plug, correct?
Thanks, and I look forward to getting it on the road.
