Re: NDT Rot!
thats just a bit of checking... once upon a time you could buy check fill. :P ndts are not like car tires they have a casing and cap and it is the health of the nylon cords on the inside that matters most. now you would never want a dot inspector to see the checking..... and tread older than 10 year...

Re: BC canada banning MV's ?
with us Canadians not having a national military club it will be a challenge to coordinate efforts of those willing to fight . we could see donations requested to help fund a class action. I am doing my part by informing and notifying those in my contacts hoping for support or enlistment in the caus...

Re: ignition help please!
how do you pop off the chain cover ? sounds like a big job, front mount, crank pulley ...... if your concerned with valve timing just pull the valve covers or a screwdriver in the spark plug hole. does the pump prime by hand ? pull on leaver till the action stops or does it keep on pumping ? even if...

Re: M37 Mystery Problem
Take your distributor cap off and see if you can spin the rotor by hand. It should not move. what about the mechanical advance ? rotor should turn a bit and be smooth. electrical problems dont cure themselves over a fortnight. did you pull the plugs ? sounds like wet plugs. if there is gas pooling ...

Re: 1953 M37 Project
big job, good progress! 50g 3m twist locks on a die grinder are your friend. they are so much faster than a wire wheel and less likely to take out an eye. also a wire wheel will polish more rust than it removes. twist locks are also great at blending steel and hiding poor welding skills. also the hi...

Re: Transfer case work.
Ive never seen a speedie sleeve fail personally, however my buddy Terry worked for BC transit and said it was a common occurrence on the old Detroit powered buses.... granted they saw more miles in a year than most m37s have seen over the last 68 years.

Re: Transfer case work.
