Fall maintenance checklist
Fall maintenance checklist
It's time to do the stuff needed on a regular basis, before it gets nasty. These are on my list. Anyone got a lube chart for BonusBuilts?
Oil door hinges -- why do you think pins get so hard to remove?
Grease chassis -- supposed to be done every 1,000 miles?!
Lube leaf springs -- hose 'em down with used oil
Adjust drum brakes -- amazing the difference this makes
Lube e-brake cables and bellcrank -- I take them loose from the bellcrank, move them off to the outside and hold them up high, and drip oil down them
Check diff, steering box, and trans oil -- maybe yours don't leak?!
Change antifreeze, flush system -- flatheads love clean cooling systems
Brake fluid flush -- every 2 - 3 yrs keeps the rubber happy
Clean & grease door regulators -- they get full of sand around here

I have two lube charts - take your pick. One is a TEXACO Chart and the other is out of the 49-51 Shop Manual. Works for Bonus Built and Economy Built thru 51:


I have larger copies - if you want one send me a pm with your e-mail address.
