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

As someone who is mid way through a ground-up restoration (here's hoping it doesn't end up grinding me up!) on mine that I bought in 1972 in high school, I've turned in to something of a purist--down to spending untold hours tracking down the smallest "correct" part that no one else will l...

Got it. I don't have anyone specifically to recommend, but I think any decent independent shop should be able to to the work.

Do you mean installing a completely different engine with associated components and accessories? Or do an original-type installation?

If I understand what your asking, it's the windshield wiper hose running from the metal line attached to the fuel pump. The line enters the firewall and crosses along the inside of the firewall (supported by clips attached to the firewall) and attaches to the windshield wiper hinge tube which goes t...

Newly rebuilt transmission with new input shaft. New clutch and pressure plate. On startup after assembly, a rattling sound was coming from the bell housing area. Slight pressure on the clutch pedal smoothed everything out. I suspected insufficient lubrication on the clutch throw out bearing sleeve,...

Hello Jim, I'm largely done with the mechanical phase of my frame up restoration, so I think I'm done with most of those mistakes! :shock: The recommendation to acquire the manuals is spot on. You can find them on line. I've used Portrayal Press for the hard copies which are very useful in the shop....

Hello all,

I thought I'd repost the request. Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm looking for the rectangular rear window frame. Glass not necessary.

Mine is rusted out along the bottom rail.

Thank you,

Truck looks nice, straight, and largely rust-free. From the data plate, it appears to be a 1951. You did well. Congratulations.

Thank you, Gary. Makes sense John

A blurb in the Vintage Power Wagons catalog stated that the oil pump must be primed (by immersing in motor oil) before installation. I may have overlooked it, but I don't recall the TM requiring such. Can anyone shed some light on the subject?

Thank you.

Better late than never, I guess.

If you're still looking for a transfer, I have 2 possibilities. Located near Charlottesville, VA

Hi John,

Not sure exactly what you're looking for...I'm in the process of similar work. I've attached 3 photos. Let me know if those do the trick. I'm happy to sent more photos, if you need them.

Greetings all, I've been recently active on the Steel Soldiers website, but I thought I'd dip my toe in the dedicated M37 waters. I've been working on my truck which I purchased in high school in 1972. Does the hook-shaped attachment to the plate spring clip which joins the spring U bolts have any f...
