Can any one tell me if any of the gaskets for a LU4 Winch should have a sealant applied to them?

We got the drum shaft bushing out of the clutch housing. This bushing has a much bigger OD Than the nos replacement bushing. The OD of the one that came out is around 2.086 instead of 2.002 that it should. Has anyone encountered that? Could it be a repair? Any ideas for sorcing a replacement? Thanks

Were the Ben Hur trailers us3d with the M37 trucks?
Thanks

Is the follwing problem becasue of anode/cathode/electrolosis ? The clutch shifter rod in our LU4 winch was badly pitted. We brazed the pitted section and then On a lathe turned brazing down to the diamter of the clean part of the rod. This resulted in a brazed section about 5/8 inch just below the ...

Thanks for all the replies

Where does the spacer go on the clutch shifter shaft?
The tm and ord 9 diagrams are not that clear
Thanks

Working on a Braden LU 4 Winch and will need to remove the clutch shifter shaft. Have not yet pulled the plug out of the bottom of the clutch housing to remove the snap ring on the clutch shaft. My question: Is the 1.25" plug basically the same as a freeze plug with a cup shape? For a replaceme...

US military Fuel can, Not the NATO style We finally found one of the larger diameter fuel can spouts that have the cam lever to seal them. I believe that the rubber ring on this one is worn to the point that it no longer seals. I am not referring to the rubber gasket that goes under the cap/cover bu...

I wonder if any one here has dealt with this. I read a old post about the tie rod stud being drawn up thru the knuckle flange so that the hole thru the stud was above the slot in the castle nut. It sound like the poster placed a washer between the castle nut and flange. We have the same issue and th...

Has anyone here successfully overhauled a wiper motor with commonly available materials like paper for gaskets and leather for the paddle?

We were fighting vapor locking but with a new heat shield over the mechanical pump, moving some fuel lines away from the exhaust manifold and adding insulated shielding to the fuel lines near the engine the truck doesn't seam to be vapor locking. There is a steel filter near the new stainless steel ...

Where is the adjustment for the idle speed? I have adjusted the the idle mixture screw at the base of the carb to get the best vacuum but the engine is idling at about 900 RPMs and I would like to slow that a bit. On our truck the rod connected to the bell crank on the carb has what looks like a bar...

I'm just curious what others here have done with their trucks as far as front end alignment. For a stock truck that won't see high speeds or a lot of driving, can the front end be aligned by careful measuring with a tape measure? Or doe it need to be done by a shop that does alignments? We are runni...

We will be installing a new civilian oil pump to match our new civilian distributor.
Rock Auto shows 2 oil pumps, a standard one and one with a right hand gear. I'm assuming the dodge 230 in an m37 would work with the standard pump.
Is that correct? Thanks

Can you tell me what most people use on the 230 for Dwell angle, RPM at idle and what the vaccum should be? I just bought a Harbor Freight tach and Dwell Multi meter. Dwell is running at 38 degrees and the idle looks to be 840 Rpms which seems a bit high. I realize there are some good brand name use...
