I know its a long shot....

But does anybody know what size rubber gasket their M37 or power wagon has on the oil pan drain? I am gonna need to get a replacement for a '64 WM300 and wanna try and get a ballpark before hitting the parts store!

I have the plug pictured in my head....but I got nothing on the measurements!:roll:

I think it calls for a 7/8 inch. Napa has normally has metal ones behind the counter. If you want the thicker nylon ones try looking in the oil plug section at your local parts store. I picked one up at advance auto a for a few bucks. I think it was made by either motor-mite or dorman . If not try either vintage or midwest...

If you have a T245 and installed a Victor style rear main seal it will not seal correctly. The anti freeze may be coming from a rusted out freeze plug.

Here is the only rear main seal that will work if it's not a bolted in style.
