Our club owns one. We used it last year for a water supply for a mister cooling system we had hung for cooling our visitors at an airshow in August. We had a 12 volt pump pushing water through 6 misters which were hung from a line between the water buffalo and a kitchen trailer. The club...
To add a little to G's excellent post on dissassembly and cleaning, use valve lapping compound in place of emery cloth. Then do the turning back and forth to sand and polish affected surfaces. May take a little longer to polish the surfaces but man do the core and body match up better. I...
My 28 foot Dorsey flat bed. Data plate missing so can't tell what model it is. Dayton wheel hubs. Wood deck. Late 1950's maybe?? It had the old style trailer socket on it if anyone out there could help with an ID of this guy.
Here is a picture of a few people enjoying the mist. You can sort of see how we set up. We strung a small rope between the kitchen trailer we had there and the water buffalo and clipped the misters to the rope. The 12 volt pump had plenty of push to really get flow and mist going. It was...
Check out my post for adjusting the regulator. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/m37/60194-m37-voltage-regulator-adjustable.html I haven't read voltage out at the generator but all pins on the output side of the regulator should read about 27 volts. Negative rpobe to the case, positve probe in any...
At the last Denver airshow, our club used our water buffalo for a water supply for a 12 vot powered mister system the crowd could cool off under. It worked great and it was hot. We camped out for the weekend there and also used it for hand washing and head showers. My guess is we didn't even...
Once I had mine off after alot of frustation I reinstalled hex (allen) head screws I got at Tu Value. Makes it much easier to remove than the slotted screws. Also applied anti-seize to the threads and the cone shaped contact surface before installing. Didn't note the size, just matched one...

They have done some major upgrades to the museum in the last few years and that place is a must see. Inside is jammed packed with the history of Naval Aviation. Here is the link to the museum's website. National Naval Aviation Museum - Welcome Main Page
Here's some pictures of my 1951'a distributor. Not cleaned and painted yet like the rest of the motor but you can see the difference between the military and civilian unit.
Thanks to Crazyguyla for putting me on to Tm 9-2320-209-35 c6 That manual should be checked out by all who have older vehicles. I was able to adjust the voltage regulator in question down to 27.0 volts from 29.8 with the knurled adjustment screw shown in picture 2 and 3. Loosen to reduce...
Yes I would like to keep to old style regulator and for Crazyguyla thanks for the link to the TM it has one on the best descriptions and breakdowns of the old regulators I've seen. It shows a voltage adjustment screw on the side of one of the relays. For crane truck it is a vertically mounted...
I have two older voltage regulators both putting out over 30 volts. Some older manuals show taking out the plug on one lower side of the regulator to adjust voltage. They both have the plug but there is no adjusting screw inside lined up with the hole with the plug out. Do these have to be...
