    Distributor oil port.

    I down loaded the TM's I could find and Erick and I did go through them but I am the problem child here. OK the distributor has a port at the bottom and a flat blade plug. I saw nothing in the TM's or lube order about how often to oil. I put a little motor oil in the port and closed it up...

    Thanks C&C Eqpt.

    Thanks to the people up at C&C equipment. I ordered my new AVM hubs for the M37 on this Monday and they came in today Wednesday. Good price and no over charging on the shipping through USPS.

    M37 230 flathead oil drain plug question

    Yep and thanks. Someone must have used a ratchet with tapered corners on mine as I had a little trouble getting mine out. Plus someone thinks the drain plug needs fifty foot pounds. I was able to install with no trouble using my 3/8 to 1/2 adapter that has good square corners. As you said the...

    Exhaust tailpipe mods

    I do not think there was too much difference. I was planning on extending my crappy quick job with just some more pipe and exhausting right where the old one came out. Too many other things to worry about right now for a truck that sits.

    Civilian pn for muffler gasket M939? Or other way to seal?

    Look in our classifieds? When I did mine the gaskets were trashed but the way the pipe fits together and clamps I did not use a gasket and it did not leak.

    M35A2 Brake System Replacement

    If it was to match my guess you never want the front coming in stronger than the rear. I much rather have the rears lock up but not the front so I do not loose steering. Yea front has a big percentage of stopping but if you can not steer could be worse. Some of the older bigger trucks had a...

    M809 Series- Front axle work and what to expect

    My fault for calling chicken little. Sorry. No worry you are repacking the bearings and that is what seems to fail a lot if not serviced when we get these trucks. If you have the cross type axles I would bet there are good and even if you had the ball and seat bet it still has enough grease to...

    What did you do to your M37 today?

    After finding a battery tray and ordering the stock hold down bracket from Midwest things looking good. The battery box and lid came with the truck when I bought it. I used aftermarket hold down rods for now but have ordered the stock rods / bolts. Thanks to an old post and one of our members...

    M809 Series- Front axle work and what to expect

    That is why I like the cross type and not greasing the knuckle and not over greasing the knuckle pivot pins. That way if I do go fording to drain out any water in the knuckle I just have to remove one of the bottom king pin cap bolt and drain out any water.

    M809 Series- Front axle work and what to expect

    Yea guess so. I see that you just had the hub seal problem and yea the thread started with full service. I always like to go neck high when servicing these trucks as we do not know how it was treated or what we have. The Deuce and the 5 ton axles I have serviced all seem to have the newer axles...

    M809 Series- Front axle work and what to expect

    I do not know why I thought you we going in all the way to the axle seal. Run Forest run.

    M809 Series- Front axle work and what to expect

    Yea I would put grease in the knuckle and pack it around the CV joint if you have the old Timken ball and seat type of axle / CV joint. I do not put grease in the knuckle if there is the newer cross type universal joint. But know matter what axle you have before you put the spindle on the...

    M809 Series- Front axle work and what to expect

    Yea you should have cleaned out the inside of the spindle tube and put grease in side to cover the spindle axle bushing

    Thanks soupermike in La.

    Took time out from his day to get me a pic and measurement off the floor of what the clutch peddle floor board stop plate looks like on the M37. Mine was missing. My name is not Smith and I doubt I could shoe a horse but a little heat and a little bendy bendy and looks good enough to me. It...

    M809 Series- Front axle work and what to expect

    Freezer bag not freezer they are thicker I believe and won't rip getting that nasty grease on you hands. Myself I like the way the grease makes my hands smell and oh so soft.

    What did you do to your M37 today?

    Talk about hens teeth but I found the last battery tray for sale on Earth I think. Little new paint on the bottom and tomorrow a little new paint on the top side, dry and install. Ordered the battery hold down bracket and should be here soon and thanks to one of our members post two 1993 Honda...

    Driving a personal Humvee on the streets while national guard is deployed in state

    I did not think of it causing a panic and I did not think it would but I did carry protection. I am trying to get my other property cleaned off so I can sell it so yesterday I fired up the 915 and hooked to my 373 trailer. Loaded the trailer up with most all my storage boxes and came straight...

    M809 Series- Front axle work and what to expect

    Brutacus pretty cool you found the front drive flange makes a good seal installer. As you said it does not hit the rubber and hits the metal edge. You were right and that is the main thing as the seal installers in the other post would not work as it would be crushing / pushing on the rubber...

    M809 Series- Front axle work and what to expect

    The seal drivers in post #54 will not work . I took my CR seal driver tool and added the ring and yea I have the handle. Also you do not put grease on the seal edge if that is what you are talking about. You can clean the mating service of the hub with some light emery paper to get it clean...
