    Parts to add heat to m51a2?

    Check the internet, Vintage Air comes to mind. A heater for old trucks will do for your purposes. You can source a 24v blower motor.

    Replacement Fuel Tank

    That is a job well done. I'd try to put a drain plug in it. It's really handy to have.

    New M54A2 owner

    Get a box end wrench that fits. Heat and bend the handle 90 degrees cut the handle and weld a 1/2" drive extension to the cut wrench handle. Oh, use the box end, not the open end. Previous older thread has this information.

    Using thicker oil

    I suggest using 40wt diesel oil AFTER you check oil pump and relief valve. Oil analysis is a good idea for longer term information.

    Piston pin fit. How tight is too tight.

    Try warming the pistons in a hot water bath. The pins should go in without undue force.

    Steering wheel chain

    I'd leave it and kick the chain under the seat when driving. Use it for parking to keep the pinheads away. Get 3 keyed alike padlocks. Use one for the steering wheel, one for the spare tire carrier, and the last on the hood chain if you have such.

    I guess that old 2 part cooling system flush isn't around any more. I cleaned a lot of rusty mud out of my M37 cooling system when I got it home.

    Cooling System Mystery

    I suggest removing a core plug in the block you can get to. It would be informative to see what has settled there.

    M37 fuel tank

    I had excellent results with KBS brand coatings. It sets up and stays somewhat flexible as not to flake off.
