On my recently acquired M37 it has a soft top on it but in trying to get things lined up I can see that the entire top is apparently leaning backwards. My window gaps are tight at the top in the front and larger at the back and opposite at the bottoms. Windows are in the doors straight. Doors...

They are great if you don't have a 65 year old tractor with frozen pins! You young'uns are to used to quick change implements.

Just be aware that bucket lip pallet forks WILL bend your bucket!! And once bent it will never grade properly again. The best bucket forks are like the ones I had on one of my backhoes that actually attached to hooks welded on top of the bucket in four spots across the top and that swung on...

I went out and moved a bunch of spare parts out of the way that were stored in the vehicle and looked at the shifter that is in the vehicle and even though it is a 53 it has the later two pin shifter. I am limited in what I can do in this part of the season, my garage is not big enough to be...

I have a 53 M37 with the usual shifter issue of the shifter traveling all the way over to the passenger side to get into third gear. I am assuming (yea, I know about the word assume) that I have the early style trans with the one pin shifter support. This truck came with a transmission top cover...

I just got my Wellman's in yesterday, I am sure I paid substantially more than you did for the Champions. I hope you got the right ones!

I just looked all through the interweb and I only found a pack of ten Champion CH42's in Europe. None at all here in the states. Are you sure you got the right ones? As Ray said the CH42 are correct but the CH41 are 12 volt.

My current solution to starting on really cold days is to just use a propane torch and direct the heat from the torch not into but in front of the air cleaner so the heat is drawn in while cranking. This has always worked well for me. Tedious yes, more cranking than usual yes, but it works. It...

Well, I looked up the Wellman's on Epay and snagged two of them. I could not get a definite answer on the Champions being a direct match so I jumped on these. Said there were ten left and 6 people put them in their wishlists. If I have learned one thing over the last few years it is to grab it...

I understand, BUT, are they the right ones for the 002-003?

I just did a whole bunch of searching and came up empty other than to find out those Champions are discontinued. If the only difference was the thread then I would re-tap the head. But if they are also going to disappear there is no sense in doing that.

Guy, I am also interested in this thread since I need at least two and maybe 4 of these glow plugs. But I don't understand your post? Is it a far sale post or just a general info post in case you find them? And what about the Champion 182 CH 42? Are they viable or not?

I am working on a 1953 M37 that has been modified by the fire service and again by some bubba mechanics. I doubt I am going to try to fully return it to full military form but I do want to get it it good running order. Right now brakes are on the platter. This has had a hydrovac system added to...

Thanks Blake, I knew the sizes but Rock Auto could not tell me the sizes on the cylinders they have in stock since the published numbers are not what they should be. I have had this issue several time with Rock Auto. They say they have something and they list is as such but they send something...

When was this? I called today and those numbers are unavailable. Seems since Raybestos sold out nobody but Rock auto has any old stock. When I checked Rock Auto they could not tell me the actual bore sizes on the cylinders and their listings show several different for the same parts. Rockauto...

I saw the ones at VPW after I posted this. I also saw they have them for 1/4" oversized drums which mine are. I need to check the drums I took off of my other 37 when I put the disc brakes on since I think they were in much better shape. I am going to pull the wheel cylinders tomorrow and see if...

I am sure this exists here somewhere but I have not been able to find it. I have found that the M37 I bought that was ready to go is far from it and it needs a lot of parts. I want to see what is available from the civilian side after seeing the price for one, yes ONE, brake shoe!! If I have to...

Just remember that modern diesel does not last forever like the old stuff used to. So be sure to get some stabilizer for it. The govt. has even managed to screw up diesel fuel. ""I love the whisky idea actually, great to barter with."" Exactly what I was thinking, liquid money after the shtf...

Nice! But kind of overkill for storing diesel fuel don't you think? You will never have to worry about rust and I cannot honestly think of what I would put in there for survival stuff, Whisky? LOL. If you got them for a good price I can understand it but you can get steel oil drums for 20-25...

Dang! I went right past Norfolk on Thursday with that M37 on the trailer!!! Could have stopped in. But I am guessing those 11.00's are far from cheap!! Thanks for all of the size verifications, that kind of helps me zoom in a little. I want to stay in the same ballpark. I do not want to go...
