Popular Post 6v71 Posted August 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2020 Finally got my EG finished. I've been using it as a daily driver for couple weeks now. It'll run 55 no problem, 60 if I'm feeling brave. The hydrovac is allowing brake fluid from the master cylinder to be drawn into the engine. Master goes dry after couple hundred miles. So the hydrovac needs a rebuild. Not many sources for this anymore. Has anybody had this done recently? About all I can find on line is Ed Strain/ White Post restorations. I called and they claim they can rebuild it, but, I wanted to check with you guys first. It's a Bendix tandem piston, 9.5 diameter. Part # 374300 Thanks s 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63808-hydrovac/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyGunner Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) That thing is stunning. Very nicely done.

mrsmackpaul Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Sounds like the diaphragm is crook If it holds bleed and works Im guessing that is all it is and vacuum is sucking fluid past a seal as it will be working the opposite way it is designed to under vacuum Diaphragms I would expect should be easily available as they are in Australia Looks like a fantastic ride Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63808-hydrovac/#findComment-458945 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Horse Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 No clue on the Hydrovac but the truck is a beauty! Only question I have is does it have enough power to turn that big rubber😎. Spokes forever! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63808-hydrovac/#findComment-458976 Share on other sites More sharing options...
