Good post Patrick. To expand a bit... Yep, Jason in Arkansas was invaluable, drove a long distance several times to help with the IP problem, brought parts and copied a complete TM to help. That was in Joplin MO. The IP problem was caused by rust particles from the fuel tank, which in turn...

You may want to look for an air leak along the fuel lines. Bleed the lines/filters using the "bleeder screw" on top of the secondary/final filter bracket to check for this. Another possibility is the fuel cut-off lever, that may be sticking. It has no solid mechanical connection to the fuel...

Hmm...I think your broken solder joint is a very rare occurrence. These boards are wave soldered to exact specifications, the potting compound formulated to match the electronics thermally and electrically. Billions of applications in the automotive, military and aerospace fields can not be...

Depends on the product, this one cures at room temp in a couple of hours...checked the package, actually fully cured in 24 hours...

There are small kits of casting epoxy formulated for electronic circuitry available from places like Alllied Electronics, Newark etc. Try MG Chemicals Part# 832B-375ml for example.

While it's exposed, trace out the circuit. Did that on several units for my MVM article ("Solid state devices for the deuce", Feb 2004 issue #101) and found some do not have overload protection, the power transistor simply "blows" like a fuse. There are also special chemicals available to...

Hi Clinto, got mine as military surplus..don't know what's considered hardened, but you may want to test them and if the leave a good mark in the metal and don't flatten, when torqued to spec, you should be good to go.

If the volt meter is wired to the batteries there should be no visible deflection for light loads. If there is a resistance between the battery and the load and the volt meter is wired to the load side of that resistance, you will see a deflection. Check you connections, a poor connection is...

Used tubing, formed at a muffler shop to make the support for the lights. Images below show some details, if I find the closeups, I'll post them...

Right. ...and Ron, it's not a good idea to keep anything electrical hooked up to the batteries during cranking of the engine, an imperfect connection will create spikes, which will ruin most electronics. This label applies to chargers too...

The principle purpose of int/ext tooth washers is to provide an electrical path between the sheet metal parts of the vehicle. Seems like it was more of a concern in the earlier days of the M37. My sons '53 used them all over. If you decide to use them, make sure they are hardened or they won't...

Sorry to read this, the Goer is timewise, a cousin to the Mover (M656 series) and the Goat from the golden sixties. Were you able to save any parts from her?

Tire pressure marked on the tire is usually max pressure. The pressure you should use depend on the application and may vary from 20 psi off-road (sand, mud or snow) to maximize traction to about 50 as stated above. Regarding the bulges, I don't think that so much pressure related as it may be...

Where did you read 110psi as recommended? Should be about 50 psi...

Why not rebuild the one you have?

Here is a PS magazine procedure, note the desired 28.5 adjustment, about 14.2 V across each battery.

Right, adjust output to 28 plus a fraction. The gauge showing in the "middle of the yellow" would be about right for 24.3 volts, nothing wrong with the gauge (see image).

Welcome back Leonard! Fantastic find and good to know that it ended up in capable hands. Hoping that you'll be making a full recovery,
