I started cutting out wires. Got most of the stuff out of the engine compartment. I’ve got a used M37 wiring harness. I also picked up a complete wiring harness from some unknown truck. It’s got all the metal connectors that are messed up on the M37 harness. Still got to dig into the instrument...

Here’s the mess when I finally gave up:

I’m not sure how the wiring job did what it was supposed to do. It’s a spaghetti mess! Think I’m going to call uncle and just replace the whole harness. Fortunately, thank you again hendersonj, for those harnesses! Now to make it all work again...

And the wiring problems continue... The lights were acting up. Neither front ones were operating correctly. I went to start the truck and except for a slight popping sound, nothing is working. Battery is fully charged and the terminals are nice and clean. So, I’m removing all the newer stuff and...

You are describing a problem I had with my 1009. I troubleshot the fuel system components one time at a time. Everything was fine until I found that the original filter was a pos. I removed it and replaced it with a round, screw in type filter and mount. I haven’t had a problem since then.

I received a 180,00 to 220,000 btu “cannon” heater for Christmas. It goes through a 5 gallon container of diesel about every other day. It’ll burn diesel, kerosene, and some other types. It was a bit expensive but it keeps my 2,400 sf barn warm. I too hate working in the cold.

Spent the last couple days replacing heater hoses and associated hardware. The truck had some real sad sounding electrical horns. I needed something much louder. I picked up a air horn set up some years ago. I dug it out, cleaned everything up and installed the two horns and small compressor...

I’ve got the time but it’s a might bit to cold to work in. I don’t remember asking but would it be possible to get paper copies of the wiring diagrams? I tried saving and printing from the pictures and it ended up looking like a spaghetti sandwich.

Same here. They owned the land before I was here and they’ll own the land long after we as a species are turned into dust.

I’ve seen some pretty gnarly yard goblins. There’s skunks, badgers, prairie dogs, weasels and the occasional speed goat. What kind of critter is that?

Did you do the doghead mod? I had similar problems. I looked through a bunch of posts to discover potential fixes. I replaced all the glow plugs, which were shot. I also did the relay mod and then got rid of the original fuel filter. I put a spin on filter mount in it’s place and haven’t had a...

I here by name her Bride of Frankenstein!

She’s a might bit cold blooded. So far I can keep her running with judicious use of the gas pedal. Lights work, horns sort of work and the turn signal works although I’ll have to replace the little bitty bulb on the arm.

Found out what’s under the panel. The mechanism for the emergency brake. Update: the panel was installed on M-37’s up to 1952. They were removed after that. That means the truck is much older than the title indicates. Hmm, I wonder if I can get it changed?

Got a 12 volt fuel pump plugged into the engine. She started right up and purred like a kitten. Got some tweaking to do but I can move her about with more confidence. Here’s the pics for the panel between the seats:

Been working on the truck the past week or so. Removed the Rube Goldberg winch/hoist thingy from the bed. Still bits and pieces that need removal but it’s gone. Pulled the solid front bumper off and reinstalled the split bumpers that came with the truck. I replaced the battery with a new one and...

An example of uncommanded input is from my CH-53 days. In the automatic flight control system there are servos that must be correctly positioned in order for pilot inputs to be accurately sent to the rotor systems. There are various servos, each one is detailed for a particular flight movement...

There’s various reasons for checking rigging. A rig check is mandatory every time a component in the flight controls is repaired or replaced. At certain times, such as a 200 hour phase inspection, a rigging check is mandated. Another reason is if there is a uncommanded input into the flight...

I went to the local O’Reilly parts store. Not my first choice but NAPA is closed Sundays. After much research by the store manager, we figured out the two alternator belts. Installed after much trial and tribulation. I’ll see if she’ll start tomorrow.

I’ll take the one that for the driver's side alternator to the parts store. It’s the wrong size. I’ll need a smaller one, maybe an inch shorter. The other two can be tightened up without sloppy slack. Thanks for the help! I still have one more bugle if yer interested. It’s just gathering dust in...
