    Wheel Bearings Again

    Cork is in place and gear oil is "one knuckle below filler hole". Your method of adjustment is in an older tm. I did the adjustment with outer wheel off, and tried to make sure inner nut didn't turn when the outer was adjusted. Will try again, this way.

I adjusted the bearings according to the TM, torque inner nut to 50 lbs and back off 1/16 to 1/4 turn. Torque outer 100 to 200ftlbs. After a test drive the hub was hot to the...

    xm105-e3

    I looked at the data plate on what I thought was my m105 trailer. It was marked xm105-e3. It was made by Checker in 1953. Is there a difference between them? Or is this just a earlier version of the m105?

    Manifold Heater Question

    The plug wire checked ok with ohm meter. I had the unit in a vise, with the plug wire minus plug about an 1/8 off the vise. I supplied power directly to the positive pin and negative to the case. I assumed that the case is grounded. When it was in the truck, it would not spark with plug grounded...

    Manifold Heater Question

    My truck's manifold heater wasn't working so I chased it down to no spark. I bench tested the coil and could only hear some internal buzzing, but no spark. Where can I get another coil?

    Source for door latch springs ? ?

    Jason a couple of years ago somebody on the "other m37 forum" made up a bunch for that truck. I would think there the same. I bought six at the time thinking someday I might need them. If you ask over there maybe somebody's (really anybody) memory is better than mine, could tell you who and...

    Deuce Dump we have all seen in the upper left

    I've been away from the internet for the last few days and just now saw the final price. WOW. I now know why I can't even draw a single number on a lotto ticket.
