    Tiger Tool Alternative

    Let the correct tool be your friend. By the time you tried the ratchet straps and carried your jack stands to the job I am done or already down the road. When working in a shop with as many trucks to run through I was glad to have the Tiger.

    Tiger Tool Alternative

    Yes and no. Now this was not on a MV but it took me the tiger tool and one inch air impact to get the U joint out. I am glad I had both at the time of R&R.

    M35a2 Timing

    Yea sorry I scanned it and it from a TM and looks like they have it backwards and I did not catch it. So ok head installed on mark and when you rotate the crank to timing mark and advance window is on mark the head is then just about one tooth off?

    M35a2 Timing

    You made it sound like when your harmonic balancer was on the correct stroke and correct line to the pointer and your advance four bolt window was on it's mark the Head red /scribe was not approximately one tooth to the rear. You made it sound like it was a couple of teeth before the pointer. I...

    M35a2 Timing

    What's funny is I have been calling the TIMING cover the shut down cover. Guess someone felt that there was something to do with timing under there. Yes we only remove or install the Head when the red / scribe is on the IP pointer. Problem is the Head can be installed with the red /scribe at any...

    Battery on off switch not powering everything up??

    Sorry mine are for the 809 series and will not work on your 939 series or I would hook you up. Google maybe and check prices to find lowest? Rebuild will be the cheapest. Also if you get a new or you rebuild I believe there is a correct engine shut down procedure. Starter / ignition switch...

    M35a2 Timing

    Sounds like it needs to be corrected. When harmonic balancer is on correct mark and advance window is on it's mark then correct the Head red / scribe is approximately one tooth towards the firewall or towards the rear of engine. I do not know that is your problem but yes needs to be corrected...

    M37 Soft top and bows

    OK got my shovel out and dug up this thread. What would have gone with these holes. They are on both side of side frame work. I know my new soft top from new life canvas will have the pieces of metal that tuck into the side rail but would seem like what ever screwed into my sides would have to...

    What did you do to your M37 today?

    After reading all 100 threads in the M37 forum seems like I needed something else on the end of my fuel pick up. Maybe a nice screen would work nice. Thanks John at Midwest for supplying me a complete new one with the said screen. Went ahead and did a new fuel sending unit too.

    Battery on off switch not powering everything up??

    Yep. That is why I bought a remote starter switch and knew how to hook it up. Also bought some NOS extra PCB cheap but rebuilding them is the cheaper way.

    M35a2 Timing

    dmetalmiki I do not believe I have ever said that when the HB and advanced unit are on there marks that the red tooth / scribe would be on it mark. As I said we only line up the Head red / scribe to remove the Head from the IP. As said if the HB was on #1 TDC and advance window is on it mark the...

    M35a2 Timing

    Correct timing is approximately one tooth off as I said before. As per TM. If these two timing marks are aligned remove the timing cover and look to see if the red mark / scribe can be seen. Now it says seen but it does not say on the head pointer. If it can be seen injection pump is on the...

    Sad news.

    M35a2 Timing

    Yes and no when the red tooth is just about one tooth off to the rear and advanced window and harmonic balancer is on there marks then according to the TM we are timed correct. Yes we only have to line up the red / scribe mark if we need to remove the Head no matter where the HB or the advance...

    Anyone put a camper on the back of a 7T MTVR?

    I have more times than once day dreamed about an Airstream mounted on an MV. Thought about it today while I went to get my 1088 from my other property. Looks like I need another carport first. If the Airstream was done so it's axles could be put back on for any reason it would still hold it's...
