Typically a full floating axle design allows the diff. oil to go into the hub an lube the bearings, this requires a good oil type seal in the hub to keep it there. In the m-37 they installed an oil seal on the axle shaft to keep oil OUT of the hub which requires the brgs to be lubed, as in the front...

I would imagine an M-42 might have been equipped w/ more that one radio set to cross comm. between diff units? The korean era radios were vaccum tube type, in 1966 the newer transistorized sets were introduced, of course there werent enough right away to replace every radio already in service so it ...

The vehicle serial number which is stamped on the frame, also on the data plates (if they are still there), was assigned by dodge. The hood number is the US registration number assigned to a vehicle when it is recieved by the army, it never changes but the manufacturer wouldnt know what it is. The a...

As far as I know the WWII numbering system was nothing more than a sequential serial number, not representing anything other than that paticular vehicle was the next in line at initial registration time. Some of the same type vehicles may have gotten numbered in order in batches, but the hood number...

Refit- there is nothing wrong w the 24v system itself, you wouldnt be able to get a jump start from just anyone if you were out an the batteries were weak or dead, ALL the light bulbs are at least twice the cost of 12v counterparts and usually arent 'in-stock' at any parts store. Those are the bigge...

I have used NOS wiring and it has always been good, I never ran into dry rot, I wouldnt be hesitant about a NOS harness (but its your choice). There are 3 major harness to the M-37 -the front, rear and the regulator to dash. Also the gen to reg cable, the dash spider harness and the headlight pigtai...

Is this connector on each side in back or just one side? Of course the orignal setup on the m-37 was a standard tail/blackout light on the left an only a b/o light on the right side, although it was sized the same as the left one. Later however at least on b-1's I think, from the factory a tail/b/o ...
