Battery box circuit breaker?

Without getting into all the "why's and wherefores," when dismantling my M37B1, I labeled a circuit breaker as a "battery box circuit breaker" as if it were installed on the box. I'm aware that the breakers are supposed to be mounted on the cowl vent bracket, and I'm certain that...

Re: Help finding M725 Ambulance Resources

Hi Dana,

SteelSoldiers.com has a forum section for the M715 which may be able to provide some leads. I'm not aware of a dedicated site like G741.

Re: Brake wheel cylinder question.

I recently rebuilt the brakes on my truck using OEM/NOS parts, and I believe that Gary is correct. I recall that the TM was specific and a lot of help.

Re: body mount questions

As to radiator, I recall an old discussion concerning the bottom mounts. That is, a recommendation to use a rubber cushion to minimize shock loads to the radiator. I used a couple of old engine mount cushions on my "factory" restoration. They fit well (you can trim them easily, if necessar...

Re: New Member - Old Project

Your plan is a good one with respect to getting it running and safe, then driving it to learn about what you have and what you want. As for me, I'm more along the lines of what a friend once said years ago when taking about his Harley motorcycle and its speed; he told me, "When you're on a Harl...

Except for the spark plugs, cables, and cable clamp, the photo shows what appears to be an original installation.

Re: New Member - Old Project

Thanks for checking in and posting. Looks like you have a nice straight truck. It appears that you've kept it under cover. I totally get the life happens part. I'm mid way through a ground-up factory-spec restoration on mine after over 45 years of "life." It's a lot of fun. Short piece of ...

Re: New Noise

There was a lot of competing or background noise in the video. Is it possible to separate out or filter the sound?

Could be a worn camshaft, oil pump issue, valve lifter, distributor, generator or water pump bearing, etc, but go simple first.

What about the belts? Are they in good shape?

Re: New Noise

How about the clutch area? Try depressing the clutch pedal slightly while running to see if that makes a difference.
