Darn, I have one of those gladhand adapters I made up. Works great on the
cargo truck, doesn't work at all on the deuce tractor. I might be facing another
shuttlevalve malfunction or something with the tractor protection valve
because as soon as I open the ballvalve, I get a whisp of air, then nothing. Same
thing on the rear gladhand. Open the ballvalve, whisp then nothing. Still
don't have a trailer for the tractor so I don't know if it will operate trailer
brakes or not! Even tried using the service gladhand with the trolleybrake lever
down, no ajoy!
