    The M-37 in Vietnam

    B1s don't have fully syncro'd trannys, both the early m37 ( 51-54) and the later B1's with the NP420 tranny are syncro'ed in 3rd and 4th gear only. Now CDN m-37s have a fully syncro'd tranny

    The M-37 in Vietnam

    B1's don't have thinner metal then the early 37's, Like most vehicles after 1957, detroit went to a different type ( ie: cheaper) sheetmetal that tended to rust easier.

    M37 PTO On Early & Late Model Transmissions

    Yeah Bryan Like the first 200+ - ,M-37s off the production line had 6v gauges with resisters on them., I'm thinking ( no proof of course) that there was left over stock at the factory that got used up first. As mentioned I did not have a problem either but there is a TB on the matter., just...

    M37 PTO On Early & Late Model Transmissions

    As mentioned The idler gear on the pto is always turning when your rolling so clicking would not be intermitent. There is a spool brake ( not the little band brake on the worm shaft ) on the LU-4 that is suppose to catch/lock the spool if it free spins to fast ( little square piece mounted...

    Generator to Alternator conversion?

    My 37 had the 100amp system that was burned to a crisp, so I ripped it all out and bought a nos harness and the alt and installed it as described above.

    Generator to Alternator conversion?

    Mark When I installed my 60amp alt on my 37 ( along with a nos frt harness) all I did was run the pos cable on the alt to the battery side of the starter relay, then ran the ground from the alt to the block.
