Yep, those show up now & then, usually from M101 trailers and such. I'd be suspect about them, due to their age and coming apart driving at speed. :shock: Interesting that they show up on trailers more often. Is that due to less use? I don't know what truck they came off, but there were 3 of th...

I just bought a set of wheels with tires. The wheels or 3 of them were GoodYear wheels, with Goodyear flaps, tubes, and tires..AND the date code on the tires were 1952, the same year as the wheels... Is it possible that those tires are what was originally installed on those rims? Also the tires or 2...

Thank You! That is a big help... It might be larger than I really want..

I've wondered if electric power steering is an option... I've not looked into any details but my engine room is already full with snow plow pump and valves... which is part of why I would like power steering.. I am in the the woods with the truck as well, but plowing is when I need a third arm.

Can anyone tell me what the id/od of the M151 exhaust is? I am looking at a creating a dual exhaust system for my M37, and found a really good price on M151 manifold to muffler pipe..

I've never flat towed anything... Years ago I realized it was an option, and began exploring more about it.. If you had a Duce and a half, then you could tow an M37... but an M37 will not flat tow well when compared to an overloaded trailer! I would not tow an M37 with a 3/4 or one ton truck due to ...

Check the play in that leaf spring bushing.

Andy

Thanks Andy, I will have a look ago all the bushings and spring pins on the front end.

That is probably the best, easiest and cheapest solution, as well as the fastest. And maybe hitting it with grease or synthetic grease weekly will reduct the long term wear? At the moment I am putting 1000-1500 miles a year, and plowing snow in the winter accounts for 1/4 of that. I guess a new one ...

I have some wandering in my truck when the crown of the road changes. I have isolated it down to the idler arm having some side to side movement. In searching through past threads, I am seeing that Charles Talbert has welded them up to remove the slop and fix the problem long term. Has anyone else d...

Where are you putting the Teflon sliders? You can find Teflon plastic on Amazon, but most of it is white. It's also expensive If you can't find black Teflon, you might try UHMW plastic instead. It's often referred to as "poor man's Teflon". It's less expensive than Teflon and almost as sl...

I'm looking at adding some "teflon sliders" to my daily driver. Only problem is I have no idea where to find such material or even where to look. What little success I have had, shows the teflon strips as white in color rather than the black shown in the pictures. Any leads and suggestions...

PS The M37 maintenance manual(s) say when installing a companion flange oil seal to "coat the outer surface of oil seals with plastic-type gasket cement and position seals in bearing retainers with lip of leather toward bearing. Install oil seals in retainers with a companion flange and plasti...

Yeah it seems like the tie rid ball is longer than needs to be....

Yes I have that manual, and the rubber-washer-spring is installed below the knuckle as intended.

The only thing I can imagine is that the knuckle-tie rod hole is too big?

I am just getting done replacing the upper and lower knuckle bearings in an attempt to get rid of a road crown induced wander. My question is this: The tire rod appears ball and threaded portion gives the appearance of being too long. When the Castle nut is torqued down the cotter pin is basically a...
