I had to do a Massey Ferguson tractor clutch and made one out of hard maple on wood lathe...worked like a charm as we fought with it for hours and could not get the split tractor together so I made one in about 10 on the wood lathe..slicker than snot...

Yea the discussion can go on and on about snow. Momentum is a happy thing. But when the NDT's eat down to the smooth iced up troughs things come to a halt. Weight and airring down will help as demonstrated by some ancient news reels about the DUKW when moving from water to soft sand. Chains, now...

Try this: go to uglytruckling.com and look under M37 MC conversion (it will not let me copy the website) And I presume the light switch can be plumbed in as it is pressure activated some where near the MC.

If it were me , I would start by taking some measurements of both tandems in relationship to the frame and see if there is any differences. I had to replace the u-bolts on my rear axle assembly and the whole thing is dependent on the u-bolts and the torsion arms. I would not be surprised if...

Sticky tappett?? Tappett that came out of adjustment?

Hey nice M37. In know, everybody goes 'Oh yea, another M37' But ya know what?? You guys know how many people sit on one and go for a ride and then say 'I wish I had an M37'. Congrats on getting her on the road again.

Been there, done that. Mine turned into quite a task to remove and clean up and replace. The u-bolts were so terrible frozen in I soaked and heated and beat on them and broke two heads on the air hammer to get them out they were about as bad as yours. If I recall a semi truck shop made new...

Hope everything goes well for you Lloyd. I know 'your guys' can handle the ranch. We plan on lighting a fire in a trash can can just to get the effects of the Fla Rally......in 10 degrees....have fun guys, (gals too). Dang I miss all that blastin....

I must be in the minority, but I have seen one other with duals and I like it.

Slow and steady....good to see you are getting the 'ole Holland truck out and making some room for more junk!

ya well....ya all remember the 7 truck recovery from Indiana to Michigan...some one hit for 7 of them...it is the disease...looks like nice weather down there Loyd. Your buddy looks like he got some nice Green Iron.

I saw another trencher about a month ago up this way. I could not read the data plate. What is the actual designation and top speed, engine, transmission, wieght and such. I have no picts.

Seems to be an illness...251 Chrysler destined for a '51 M37 I hope..

Another tip is to pull all the tappets up and put a spring loaded clothes pin on the shaft to hold it up. Them take the bolts out of the cam hub like Cit says and SLOWLY and CAREFULLY start to remove the camshaft by rotating it to get the lobes past the bearings. If there wre rust issues check...
