It is possible to install the later style shift cover on the early style transmission. A few small modifications must be made to the shifter though.
Reason for doing this is the later style cover provides better shifting.
The CDN trucks also have a hood that is slightly different so the safety catch latches properly. The rod bolts for the 265 has a very unique flattened head because of the small rotational clearance and are very scarce. I have a 265 that has been balanced with split exhaust and an Edmonds...
There is a worm gear on the end of the steering shaft which turns a quadrant gear. The quadrant gear is part of the shaft that pitman arm bolts on to. I have rebuilt boxes that have either worn worms or gears or both. If that is the case then when you try to adjust the box with the adjusting...
You are correct the piston works against a spring. When you hit the throttle there is a sudden drop in vacuum and the spring pushes the piston in the opposite direction and pumps fuel into the carburetor. Figure 03-1 in the M-37 ORD 9 is a good exploded view of the carb.
Have the truck on a slight incline, be in neutral then engage the 4-wheel drive. Truck should roll down incline. If it doesn't it means there is some problem.
Stock M-37 carb has a vacuum operated accelerator pump not a mechanical one so you won't see gas flowing into the carb by hit the gas petal. Seen this many times usually the problem is the accelerator pump piston leather seal or the cylinder it rides in is oversize or worn. Unfortunately you...

Any suggestions or feedback on where to OD canvas covers made. Beechwood seems expensive. I believe New Life has changed ownership?? Any other sources out there?
The route has been finalized. We're going to use a route that was done 3 or 4 years ago from Clive's house up through Emmitsburg, maybe stop at the Antique Mall there for 30 minutes, take the back roads to get past Ft Ritchie, then up to Pen Mar Park for lunch and the meeting.
We'll get to...
WAC B & G MVT is sponsoring a convoy and trail ride around Fredrick Maryland on Saturday 23 July. If any one is interested PM me and I will give you the details.
I am mounting my MEP-003 on an M-101-A2 trailer and would like to add an extra fuel tank. I believe the Military did have some trailers with a fuel tank mounted on them. The same fuel tank as the M-37's used. Any body have some pictures of where it was located and how this was done?
The front springs also have a bushing in the frame. It's a good idea to change those also if you have the springs off. The spring eye bushings come out rather easy compared to the ones in the frame.
The CDN 152 has a 251 engine and an Acme tranmission which are different from the US M-37 trucks. Also these were used mostly as radio trucks in Canada most of the special parts are very hard to find. For example the windows had screens on the outside, to prevent radio signal interference I...
I was going to use a Fluke meter with a frequency scale to monitor the actual frequency as I vary the engine speed corresponding to between 55 and 65 HZ. While doing so I was going to calibrate the transducer.
