Blew air into my broken line on back brakes of my 52 470 GMC and it operated
the brakes on each side, and I could hold air in some, slowly leaked off tho.
Then, the pressure tank under cab started leaking out very black oilly stuff,
looked like could have been engine oil, it gets black in Diesels, I know.
Don't like the thought of that. Books I have on air brakes say you need to
drain off water from this tank occasionally. I haven't even seen if engine
will turn over or locked yet. Can't get into it very well to see/try anything,
plus, tons of Gunk on it. Think I found the throttle link, goes to front right
of engine thru long links and accross the cab floor to pedal. Still don't see
how the brake pedal hooks up yet. Wish it was 80 degrees now, stead of 30 or
less!
