I would like to see a 4bt in there, but a nice rebuilt flathead would be refreshingly simple i would think.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
53Fox, used one just like it to pull my 53M37 behind my Jeep Wrangler (4-Door). It pulled fine, but I had to bring my own straps as the straps on that trailer wont fit over the dodge tires ... used the web straps with the hooks end and just hooked onto the trailer strap and snugged up over the tires using the trailer ratchets .. worked quite well ... also watched my speed and left plenty of room for braking ... pulled mine approx 3.5 hours with no problems. FYI: I pulled my rear axles before hauling.
It snows a crap ton here. Tahoe are averages 29 feet a year.A plow truck in Nevada?!?? Must be awesome low miles....
Make sure the master cylinder pushrod is not adjusted out too far, which will not allow the piston to return all the way. There should be a little clearance between the pushrod and the piston.It's been awhile since I've updated. Progress? Yes. Problem? Yes
i got it moved again, no issues with the Uhaul rental, thanks for advice Mark. Next I stripped it down, primed and painted. I had the color matched from the inside of the fording cover plate. It was the only part that didn't get the school bus yellow. Pulled the top off, all ready to cruise with the kids for summer. Next came the typical m37 fix the brakes. Before I moved out of the country I replaced the master cylinder and all seemed good. Got the truck home filled and bled the brakes, all good for about a week, losing fluid,pulled a wheel off and saw what the wheel cylinder looked liked and ordered four new ones the next day.
Now starts the problem. I put the truck on blocks and found all the wheels were dragging. No worries, got all four drums turned,installed the wheel cylinders, and adjusted all the cams in. When it's on the blocks all wheels spin free, no contact. Bleeding the brakes and now they are dragging again. Am I missing something? All the shoes are adjusted in and the drums are turned. I figured I'd have to adjust them back out. I'm thinking the fluid isn't returning to the master cylinder leaving the shoes in contact with the drum? Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, this has been driving me nuts.
And I will get some pics of the progress up soon.
