Well, I finally got to the bottom of the bent rods. It seems some mech. at the depot did not know his @#@#$ from a hole in the ground. As I said every thing in this motor is new, but the mechanic did not set up the valve train correctly. He did not even set the gear marks so that the timing...
Purchased 2 - 3 53 detroits for my goat. 1 has been rebuilt. The other appears to be a low miles motor lacking a few parts. The rebuilt motor would not turn over all the way. I opened her up and found that 6 of the 9 push rod poppits had been bent or broken. all valve related rods not the...
They are looking to demil them, but will not let just anyone do it. They want someone who has the proper demil paperwork and certifications. So anyone out there have any contacts close with the know how and certs?
The top you have is in fact an old WC conversion top. The m-37 did not have a top built for the early models ,so the military removed the old outgoing WC tops and converted them to fit the m-37. These old top conversions are getting hard to find and while the windows do not roll well with the...

I just wanted to add to this thread that all of you guys are great, and can never truly know how grateful I am for the replies and help!!!!roflrofl:grd:
I would be very interested! Again I can not afford gold standard, but even one that needs work is better than none. Off hand you would not know if they are complete with radiator mount ,tanks etc?
My power plant was taken out before the unit was sold. They stripped the whole power plant...
Finding goats is one thing, but has any one out there tried to find the power plants whole and unmolested? I have searched every where including army depots and industrial engine shops with no luck. It seems that all the 4x4 diesel heads have gobbled them all up to put in their Chevy and fords...
