If you want an easy increase in power, the Mopar 360 will bolt in with no problems. Regards Marti

Mt step-son and son took my M37 fishing. They put our 14 foot rowboat in the back with motor and headed for the lake. They backed down to the water and did fine unloading the boat. When they returned, my step-son got the idea that this truck was waterproof, so he could back it right off the ramp...

The maximum governed high idle,. or no load speed, is 2370 to 2420 RPM in the tractors according to the Implement and Tractor repair manual. The 2200 number is the rated RPM the governor should hold it at under full rated load. My point in these posts is that a knowledgeable driver with a...

These motors were also used in a model of the Oliver tractors, which was a division of White. I do not know of any other brands they were used in. The early Olivers had the military filter base with adapters on them for spin-on. I found a set at a parts yard for $10. I tried to order more...

Included are photos of a White farm tractor that has the same basic engine in it as the deuce and 5 ton motors. In fact, ordnance numbers will be found on many parts in the engine when torn down. This is the kind of work these engines are doing for long hours each day at high load levels all day...

Lee is right, I had to pull really hard on the starter lever on mine. Linkage checks is a good suggestion also. Regards Marti

As I have said in reply to many of these kind of posts, we own two deuces and two five tons that are highly turned up. We have been using them in farm service this way for years with no problem. With at least a boost gauge, and at best also a pyrometer, you have no problem if you drive wisely. I...

I will just interject a couple of thoughts. The on the deuce and 5 ton on the go shift synchronized transfer, forward or reverse, is a nice feature. Each driver can use it as it best suits his needs or comfort level. I will also add that for decades the vast majority of civilian trucks...

I have attached a copy of the axle housing breakdown. It shows the seals in the end of the housing, "J" in the illustration. This book is from Memphis Equipment Company, Regards Marti

Try putting the end of an air gun in your tank filler sealed around best you can with a shop towel. Apply very light pressure and see if you get fuel through the line, or if you find it leaking out of a tube or pipe anywhere. Also, the rubber connector lines can get internal separation to where...

We are running a modified and turned up 465 in one of our deuces. My son made acceleration runs with a new stock paper filter in the canister and without. We could not see much difference. Regards Marti

I got totally frustrated trying to put some on. Slipping all over the place like is described. Can't completely clean the grease because it kept creeping out. I finally got a needle and heavy thread, proceeded to stitch the round clamp to the boot crease in about six places. I put RTV sealant on...

I have not run Hy-tran type oils, but I did switch mine to ATF Dexron when I first got it under the adamant recommendation of a transmission man that had run and repaired them for many years. I used the truck for grain hauling, stone hauling, pulling a 32 foot implement trailer, and mounting an...

Nice application! I used an M135 GMC deuce for years to haul grain, stone, etc. with no problems. And it has the "weak" transmission! I switched from engine oil in the transmission to ATF. I now have a 1963 M51A2 dump set up as a grain hauler, also pulling a large gravity wagon behind it...

I have no experience with the disc brakes or power steering kits. I am puzzled however by your comment about needing s different transmission so you do not have to drive in 4 wheel drive all the time. Why does the SM420 force you to drive in 4x4, if that is what you are saying? 2x4 or 4x4 is...

I used to work at a company (Gatke Corp., Warsaw, IN) that made clutch frictions, or plates like that. I machined the faces of the friction material. The same kind is used in automatic presses and other industrial equipment. Frictions for oil well rigs of similar design were about 36" in...

You have to reverse the oil pan, change the oil pump pickups, change the bell housing for a deuce housing, put on a deuce clutch assembly. I think the flywheels are the same, but I do not remember exactly. The starter is the same, just goes on the other side of the motor, but you will need to...

Confirming the center one is the exhaust. It does not need to be connected to any other hose or fitting. Regards Marti

I think by the time you had spent many many hours trying to engineer it and found it will not work well, you would have a destroyed truck and no good to show for your time. First, there is no room for all that would be required for two engines to function properly. With turned up fuel, there has...
