Thats how the original M37s were as well

Ouch, had that happen doing roadwork with a M51a2 a couple years ago...that sucked!

Eagle scout here! Looks good, always loved camping with my troop

If its in mass, the property probably belongs to mass development? I think thats the name, I may have a lightbulb moment later. I would probably say they wouldn't just give it to you. I work for the state, all the excess state property (this ISN'T including forest service FEPP) gets trucked...

Guys, thanks for all the help and thoughts! Dropped the new engine off at the shop today and they are digging into it. Turns out my old one has 3 bad cylinders, bad rings, blown out head gasket, GAS in the oil (:???:), and a cracked exhaust manifold. This replacement is missing the carb, but...

I like the paint job, what was its use in a former life?

Ok, will do some measuring tomorrow after work! If I remember correctly, it DOES have the air cleaner elbow support on it. It IS however missing a distributor, which is no big deal I have a good one on the other engine. The engine has the mounting brackets for a 24v generator which leads me...

Thank you gentlemen! I will look at how to oil fill is attached tomorrow, it seems that this project may be a little more costly than it is worth; maybe I'll just stick with the original engine

Gentlemen! I got a call today telling me of the poor, POOR condition of my current motor in the M37 (some of you may be following my "My New Toy" thread which details my restoration progress. As luck would have it, I was in contact with a family friend who is also a power wagon fanatic. He...

Thats what I was thinking

EXCELLENT! Thanks!

Good luck! Tight deadline, but with a decent dry place inside to work on it you should be able to do it...wish I had that! Lucky on the stuck bolts...I'd get nervous, something HAS to go wrong :lol: Side note: you are the only other M37 which I have seen with the SAME fuel pump as I have on...

Ahhh....at long last an update on progress! Went by the engine shop today, they have my M37 all stripped but then they got swamped with agricultural work! The mechanic showed me the headgasket, and how shredded it was (we knew this). It blew out between valve #3 and #4. Also, he did a...

CARNAC your the man!! Thank you so much!

Sir, My 1952 Dodge M-37 Wo/w: A. 8358322 B. 3001A0050376 (NH Reg) C. Surry, NH is where I bought it D. NONE Bought it from a guy who got it from a farmer...who supposedly got it from a machine shop in Worcester, MA Any help on its history would be great! I will donate where you suggested...

I keep one on my key ring at work, because we deal with so many M1008s and M1009s through FEPP its just easier! 2cents So...in response to the OPs question, yes sir they do!

Nice video! I miss that view as well....oh well I'll be back at it soon! 8) Question: Do you guys have any problems with the hydraulics when the outside temps get really high (90 degrees +)? We did a big road project this past year with our 3 5-tons, and the 817 I drove kept giving me...

:) haha so true, replacing that seal for the lack of a better term...SUCKS!! Slide hammer with a hook attachment on the end is what you will need!

$1000 for this is definitely decent! I noticed you took a picture of the inside of the toolbox (compartment) right behind the door; in my experience those are a place which usually rusts out, and yours looks good I second what vtdeucedriver says, I went through and replaced the entire brake...

Both things these two guys said are 100% correct. I did this exact job this summer, replaced all the seals and brake parts at the same time. I picked up the valvoline which I show a picture of here. Its mil spec, high temp, and seems to stick really well...I am really satisfied with it. My...
