Can you ferret out what the characters are? I have tried a couple tricks like zooming and and messing with color channels to get the contrast up, but I cant really get a good read on what the characters are in the first place. Read bumper the most I can make out is EN (maybe ENG for Engineer)...

Its a new battery, but I suppose just because its new does not mean its good. Someone also suggested to look at the cold cranking amps (CCA) rating which I will also do. When cranking, it is spinning normal speed and does not sound labored or like its slowing down, and it has a big handful of...

Summary - an M37 disc brake conversion improved my trucks braking significantly, but be prepared for a project Took a bit, but I have completed the front axle and front axle disc brake conversion. I chose to do disc since the brakes worked, but weren't great, and a machine shop stated that my...

My M37 is difficult to start. I have found that when connecting a battery charger while attempting to start, the engine starts immediately. This leads me to believe that the added power, which I assume give a hotter spark, is helping give a quick engine startup. I have a simple three post...

I have this zoomed in alot and its tough to read. Triangle then 'A" maybe? 31 IS9GP 31 ? Generally, on the front bumper the passenger side has the major command, with driver side being the company and vehicle number for Army vehicles. If you can ferret out the actual letters/numbers I...

This is -a- method - probably not the most efficient. The result is OK, but it is one way to approximate the military whip antenna. The radio is a 2m amateur radio inside an AN/PRC-9 that was not salvageable - Completed Project – Modern 2m Amateur Radio inside 1950’s AN/PRC-9 – Stickelman.net...

I dont think they influence alignment, removing the dowels was required to split the knuckle halves. I had to split the knuckle halves to get to the steering pivot bearings. The dowls I am referring to are pictured from TM in the first post. The tie rod is off since I am also replacing tie...

After a winter hibernation, I am getting back to this project. When driving out the knuckle dowls, one was damaged beyond salvage. Vintage Power Wagons state they do not have replacement dowls, and they do not appear to be a stock rod size. I am having a machine shop evaluate one of the pins...

I got a replacement NOS steering wheel, it looks nice but the horn cavity rim is deformed, I assume from being stacked in storage for many years. The old steering wheel I got off, finally, with an air hammer. I destroyed it in the process, but it was really in bad shape and not really...

Its fully functional https://odysee.com/@HamRadioOutdoors:5/Model-28-KSR-Wall-Mount-100wpm-ITTY:a It is a 60ma current loop. It is copying Internet Teletype (ITTY) from https://ttynews.com/ The interface is a deramp PCB from https://deramp.com/model15_interface.html, it can take text from a...

Cost of Dodge M37 rear main oil seal repair (by rebuilding everything) – Stickelman.net When looking at mine, it would have benefited from moving alot of stuff out of the way. If you move all those things out of the way, you might as well go whole hog. It may be possible to get the rear...

Took several weeks to figure out the mechanical issues and finally got it typing in test mode - Model 28 Teletype operating normally (odysee.com) Thank you for the recommendation, that will be my next step, figuring out the electrical part and signaling.

TM shows grease zerk on the top only in every illustration I have found. Moving a plate with zerk on it could be a way to do this from time to time. Splitting this thing is enough of a pain that doing the moving the zerk around would be worth it. By design though, I suppose a maintenance...

This project is taking a bit, but there is value in doing this if its not been touched in decades. I have found plenty of stuff that really needed attention. The felt seals are a fiddly to get stuffed into the groove, but the replacement fits noticeably better than the old one. I soaked the...

Took me a really long time to get a comprehension of what the mechanical things are doing and I finally (with alot of help from the very helpful greenkeys group) found what specifically is wrong with my keyboard. There is a part called a code bar bail, which resets everything by being pulled...
