    Pick your brains

    The engine is a V4HD, used in many, many applications back when gas motors were in vogue. I had one in a 610 Bobcat. They are easy to fix and parts are out there. The engine has the exhaust pointing up, so any rust hole in the muffler etc means water in the cylinders.

    My New toy

    The non-winch trucks did not have a PTO. The hard top is from a WWII CCKW, adapted for the M37. I am not sure if it is a military adaptation or a Memphis Equipment type thing. Your truck has huge potential to be super nice!!

    230 tornado rebuild kit plus other info wanted

    I agree with Barrman. Find a good engine, paint it, put in some magic friction reducer (teflon) to help with the cam lubrication, and run it. My Tornado has been running great for years at 50 mph road speed max.

    paint

    The Gillepsie CARC substitute sold by Rapco and others looks awful, too green and way to glossy. You can spot it a mile away and even in pictures. It is not rocket science to match colors, I wish the mfgr would get it right.

    Fuel Pump

    My 880 went though the same issues until I added the filter before the pump. Then for years the filter would gradually plug up resulting in lower and lower top speed. Had several filters in the glove box at all times.

    M275 tractor does just fine in extreme terrain. The intermediate driveshaft is plenty long. This truck would snap u-joints in a heartbeat, what is the driveshaft, about a foot long???
