    Bertha is apparently jealous of the attention I'm giving the M37.(Torque bar separation)

    Last time I looked everyone is out of stock on the bushings with the safety bar. Does anyone know if anybody has them in stock? My common sense side says the original ones lasted 40 years but my OCD self wants the safety bar just cause...

    (Solved) M923A2 Right rear brakes grabbing

    One aspect of this whole thing you guys might not be considering is if the diaphrames are bad and leaking then the air pressure goes down and the spring brakes engage and drag. Diaphrams are fairly inexpensive and the Q2 is less than $100 also. Both can be done in half a day and probably...

    (Solved) M923A2 Right rear brakes grabbing

    Use grade 8 bolts if you are replacing them as Simp said. Anything else will bend and make you nervous. The diaphragms are not bad to replace but they will make you a bit nervous. I wore a full motorcycle helmet and made sure not to point it directly at myself. Get yourself some new...

    (Solved) M923A2 Right rear brakes grabbing

    I would replace the diaphragms. Mine was doing the same thing on my rear axle and it ended up being the diagram. Might as well do them all at once.

    Engine Temp Alarm going off at all times???

    Mine wasn’t rebuilt. It still has the temp light and as soon as it starts flashing the alarm goes off also. Engine is at normal operating temperatures. I’ve changed the failsafe box twice already with the same symptoms.

    Engine Temp Alarm going off at all times???

    Mine does the same thing. Where is the sender located? I’ve probably just over looked it but just can’t seem to find it. Damn buzzer is making me crazy!!

    This is the dash data plate and your serial number should be in the silver boxes.

    The price seems very reasonable to me for all your getting. I would love to see how he did the brake system on it.

    Squirrel wiring damage on my M925

    It’s a hard area to get access to. You’ll be wishing your arms were longer for sure.

    Squirrel wiring damage on my M925

    You’d probably have better access under the drivers side fender and from under the truck. The frame is blocking everything by the air filter.

    New Project

    Pulled the oil pan today and found out the crankshaft is sheared in half. Probably going to start parting it out.

    Developing the "multifuel" into a tractor engine

    I guess my main question would be if it would be a direct bolt in after swapping the bell housing? The rest of it should be pretty straight forward as far as moving the intake, exhaust etc. It seems like they were built to be a lot more reliable and if I need a new engine for this M52 I’m...

    Developing the "multifuel" into a tractor engine

    Could the tractor engines be modified slightly to fit in an M35 series truck or are the differences to great?

    New Project

    Thank you. I’ll get to working on that. I believe the engine is hydro locked because the oil level seems too high and there was oil coming out of the fuel shut off cover when I opened it. I’m assuming I have diesel in the oil pan and will find out more when I drain the oil.

    Is there anything special I need to pull the injectors or is it just the two bolts?

    New Project

    Well...I got everything hooked up and NO JOY!! The motor seems to be seized up. I even took off the radiator and put a socket on it and it doesn’t budge. Anyone got any ideas on how to try and free this up?

    New Project

    I will have to get some decent tires on it before driving it. I will probably go ahead and put some 395s on it assuming I can get it running. I’m waiting for some filters to come in before I start going through the fuel system and getting everything ready to try and fire it up. I also need to...
