I've forded without it because the machine was new to me, and I had to cross a creek (I didn't know better). Is it ok to run the plug normally?

I've been thinking along these lines myself, but I've had no luck finding any pics of IDF M37 markings. Do you have any reference photos you could share? For the record, mine's not Israeli, But I want to have a little fun before going full restoration, so I'm going to play dress-up a little.

So I finally got the M37 on the road, licensed and all that stuff. Brakes are still a little sketchy, but I'll be replacing the leaky line this weekend. The problem I'm finding now that I can get up to speeds where I need to shift, is I can't get into 3rd! When the motor is off, i can move the...

And do I need to modify the carb?

Yeah, I imagine the guy before me never had a problem either. It seems to have damaged the flywheel gear a bit (nothing major) but one of the guys I talked to said that some starters will work, but don't mesh properly. I want to change it back to 24v someday and get the right starter, but for...

I got really, really excited and got my boss to drop everything and drive me up to see the truck. We had to go a little out of town, into a remote canyon on a dirt road. As we got nearer to the place, there were old rusting tractors, various broken mining equipment, an old singlewide with the...

I brought home an M37 yesterday. Got a great deal on a machine in great shape. My Dad collected military vehicles when I was little. I remember playing on the jeeps, riding in the ambulance, and being very angry at my Mom when I heard that she stopped him from buying a tank. (It's still a bit of...
