K5, I'm a Mustang with 33 years of service and I never meet anyone in all those years who didn't get LOST at least once "Back In the Day" while orienteering with a compass, plugger etc. Did several of those courses over the years especially when I was operating at SOF standards ...Its a very...
BLUF: Use Studs With the Proper Length on Your Front Axle!
My purpose in starting this thread was to gain insight regards mounting HEMTT Rims on my 818 and "Singling It Out"! The safety issue that grabbed my attention after the dust settled was the discussion regards use of bud-nuts on the...
Pin completed, cleaned up the shifter as the edges of the ball on the shifter were nasty due to the broken pin. Pin was turned from steel and then hardened and polished. Have to be careful with the hardening process because if its to hard it becomes brittle and may crack/fail. Heat soak prior...
Pulled the tower today and determined that my tower is a bit different than that described in the TM. There’s only 1 pin, and you have to pull the shifter out thru the bottom of the tower after removing the spring inside the tower. There is no twist off collar so that you can remove the shifter...

Well, I decided I need to take the gearshift assembly off tomorrow and take a peek .. My trany was rebuilt in Danang Vietnam in the 60s ...will post pics as I progress....
Have been using my 37 as a daily driver and its been a blast. She runs like a fine instrument and the positive comments and thumbs up I get every day make all the work on her restoration a real pay off ... folks just plai love tl see these beautiful old beasts on the streets.
Spent yesterday...
ALCON: I have been driving my beast to school once a week for the last 2 months. My round trip is about 80 miles and my M-37 has been a dream to drive ... its stock and I am fortunate as the speed limit on the back roads here are posted 40 or 45 MPH, which is the perfect speed for my classic...
