In WW2 John Deere built a couple armored Model A's and submitted them for testing by the Military. They had two machine guns mounted on them . They failed the test and were not built. The main failure was the guns field of fire could take out the tractors rear tires. There are articles in...

I have found in antique tractors it is cheaper to pay more for a good tractor to start with than a cheap price for a tractor in bad shape. My opinion is if you are concerned enough to ask these questions walk away from it. For $3000.00 bucks you can get one in better shape. I have an...

Squirttruck, The new cap did not fit well, it had to be massaged on a die grinder to get it to work. I think she will be happy with old parts. Lane, the other two tires came with the truck. When it is finished they will all be the same size.

Papabear, not a problem. Probably better off with a new one anyway. You will be called on again MY FRIEND.:beer:

Installed the new distributor cap today and she purrs like a kitten hitting on all six cylinders. drove it around for 45 minutes and it still felt bound up. Kept checking the brake drums and none never even got warm. Tire tracks looked like they were scuffing and since the front tires are a...

No Kenny, I did not. I was just glad to get my ars back home with no Police interventiom:shock:

A long, long time ago when I was just 18 years old my dad fed out his yearlings. We had a neighbor who loved his whiskey and could pitch a three month drunk. He also butchered his own beef so when we sold our cattle one time he wanted one but was on a drunk. He bought a 1000 pound steer at...

Its under her Dads name, oldfart. The title is M37 resurrection.

Welcome aboard!!! I just got one a couple weeks ago. Getting ready to restore it.

I am not qualafied to answer those questions. I would think if you change out both it would not be a problem, but you can,t just change one. As I stated above there is discussion on this in ghostriders thread. It may answer your questions. In any case its good reading with lots of info.

Search for ghostriders M37 build thread. Lots of good info there including oil pump info. She had a failure because the rebuilders installed a civilian pump and that will not work.

Welcome aboard. As Clinto said there are a lot more big vehicle owners on SS but there is certainly room for more jeep owners. The more of those we have the more talk will happen on site. I myself have a 65 M151 and just aquired a 1952 M37.

M52a2 5 ton. Only dueces were M35,s

I did some more work on old blue today. I got the carb adjusted and idle slowed down by tightening the return spring. It just did not sound right so I checked all plugs for firing. Number 4 and 6 were dead with no spark at the plug. Removed the cap and inside is another round cap. Removed...

You know it would be interesting to know how many SS's have touched this truck. I got it from oldvw2 and he mentions cabell used the winch driveline off this truck on one of his projects. Now garbee's name pops up. If any of you know some history on this truck please post it up, I am curious...

I guess I have been lucky, been cutting for 40 years and never had anything burn through my boot. But now if you are not careful with the welding rod and it somehow swings into your leg when you lay it down now thats a different matter. It enters your leg like a hot knife in butter. Zout I...

I started the truck yesterday and drove it into the shop. Could not get it to run well with my small gravity feed tank and read on here that it takes some pressure to unseat the needle. Today I installed a 24 volt electric pump and still could not get it to run good although it started. It...

I just read this entire thread and you guys are doing great work. Ghostdriver, my hat is off to you for the work you are doing. This thread gave me lots of good information as I just got my M37 home a few days ago. The previous owner had started the restoration so my next step is to remove...

Sounds like a deal to me PB:)

:):)I hope it will be PB, but it may be the end of the summer before I have much time to work on it. I have not unloaded all the boxes yet, but so far have seen all the parts to rebuild the winch, all new brake lines and wheel cylinders and small hardware to redo wheels, new seat cushions...
