I suspect that it's a dry transmission input shaft pilot bushing.

Must be the same people in the guvmint that hammer and chiseled all the M37 spindle nuts on every truck I have owned, 8 so far. :evil: Carter

I guess I have missed something, why is the front end off and the engine out? How well did it tow like that? Thanks, Carter

It never occured to me the primer color would make a difference but it seems logical now that you mention it. I used grey and got OD with a tan tint to it.

I painted my restored truck with Gillespie 24087 and thought the finished color was a little to brown to match what was on the truck when I got it. It had been rebuilt and painted at Letterkenny in 1969 and had a little more of a green tint to the army applied paint. Album pix: M37 USA 201010909

Yes, many of the parts are in boxes, however some parts will need to be bought and others rehabbed to complete the rebuild like a complete new front and rear wiring harness, batteries, brake wheel cyls, fuel and break steel lines, most of the rubber parts and a lot of new bolts since I don't...

Thanks, It needs lots of TLC, no wiring at all, no fuel tank, dash gauges, lights and a bad rear chunk and to much more to list here. :cry: It'l take a while and lots of $$$ but it will live again. Carter

Great looking truck. Your looks a lot like the one I got Sunday but yours runs and drives unlike mine. Good luck with it.

I have used the 2 bungie cords (for strength) method when towing several trucks home, usually doing it alone and never had any problems. Carter PullingTrk pictures from military photos on webshots Tow Bar pictures from military photos on webshots

What's its output?

TM 10-1531, the maintenance manual for the WC series 3/4 tons recommends 90W Hypoid gear lube for the transmission, transfer and axles and the winch gears. The pto is lubed with the tranny oil. I would suspect the same recommendations apply to the 1/2 tons but I don't have a manual for them...

The rear leg was something my friend Ralph made for the trailer out of parts he had on hand like the leg's base plate which is a adjustable support foot for leveling production machines where he works as a mechanical engineer. The rest of the leg is standard black iron pipe. The bracket is stock...

I thought the same thing.

Yes I have Bruce, I got the fever when I was 13 yrs. old and saw my first M37 churning through 2 1/2 ' of a late March snow while nothing else was able to move at all. This is the 8th. one I have owned, with luck and if I live long enough, 9 and 10 are just over the horizon. :-D

During the winter I bought this truck from my friend, Ralph. It was disassembled when I got it, the cab and the bed were off of the frame which had been cleaned and painted. Ralph had planned to do a complete restoration on the truck but ended up buying another running and restored one. We are...

Snake River 4X4 has them in various sizes. Snake River 4X4

What size tires are on it? If they are 16", the wheels look like M101/ A1 trailer and M37/ B1 Budd style and you may be able to locate parts at one of the usual dealers.

Good work Bruce.

Good job Bruce, a little primer, some OD and back in business. Thanks for the pix.

A supply truck set up for very tall pencil sharpening paper-pushers? :wink:
