I have one, and am looking for the second one. I'm interested in hearing of a source as well. If one doesn't exist, perhaps I'll copy the one I have and make a few extra sets...

I bet that he was talking about the ATHS show in Troutman, NC (just south of Statesville). It's about an hour drive from his place and draws a couple hundred antique trucks, tractors, hit-or-miss engines, etc. I went last year for the first time and took my M37 (one other NCMVPA member was...

RE: Re: RE: I Need A Starter or a Rebuilt Starter Last starter I got for a M35A2C came from TNJ Murray... They had takeoff, rebuilt, and new (priced accordingly). I opted for takeoff and what they shipped looked more like a rebuilt unit (given the packaging, condition, paint, etc...). I...

The M37's have always seemed to be slow turning over... I don't have the cranking speed specification in front of me, but you are right about everything else cranking faster. :) If everything is in spec (or a tad off to be honest), they still crank and run, you just wonder if they are...

There is a really good thread concerning compression and compression testing on the g741 site. Link to it is provided below in this post... Keep in mind that if you just pour the oil in through the plug hole it will go all over the valves and it will hydro seal them along with the rings...

A Cummins 4BT weighs in at 700lbs give or take a few depending on what accessories you hang off it and how you configure them... As far as I know (based off answers from other folks here and from reading the TM's for the M809 series, they are all sprag units...

I'm filling out the GL form in order to get them to send me the SF97 for my M817... Got all the numbers that I need to fill out the form EXCEPT the year of manufacture... Contract number is: DAAEO6-69-C-0009 Anyone know what year it is? Thanks,

It is a 313. You can get them at most decent parts houses. I've got this and other handy bulb info on my website: http://www.garbee.net/~cabell/lightbulbs.htm Enjoy.

Have you actually had the truck up to 2900 rpm??? If so, are you going by the tack on the truck and have you verified that it is acurate? If you are just going by the sticker placement (ie, you haven't actually ramped it up that high, you've just been looking at the guage...), remember...

I have the form in front of me from GL that you fill out and send to them to get a SF97 (filling it out for my M817). It has a section on top for trucks, one on the bottom for trailers. The instructions say to fill it out and return it (signed) and that they will ping your CC for $60 for...

The Cummins 4BT in my M37 also has an electric solenoid valve for fuel shutoff... Turns out it is the same part that was in the VW Dasher diesel (which also used a Bosh injector pump) and is about 1/3 the cost if you go to a parts house and ask for a VW part then if you go to an equipment...

Congratulations! As a fellow "new" NHC250 owner (mine is in a M817), I can say that the "easy" way to prime the injector pump when everything is dry (say, when you replace the suction line between the fuel filter that you just replaced and the lift pump on the injector) is to pump some air into...

Re: RE: Short Trip Interesting Find .. I'll have to check it out next time I visit the folks (Syria, Madison County...). Considering how many times I've been to Culpeper in the last thirty years, I've never noticed it... :( Thanks for letting us know of it's existance...

Pick your favorite brand of 90wt GL1, or GL5/MT1...

The military says 90wt (and it's what I am running in both of mine), but when I've talked to Charles at M Series Rebuild, he has told me that is is currently installing a 50wt gear oil (gotta order it from a supplier, not available at WalMart.. :) ) since that is what Spicer (well, Eaton)...

Yep, it would help to have some photos... :) Of course, we were so busy trying to get up to Adam's, then getting the truck ready for the road, then actually going home, that we forgot to take many... Then to, it seems that I was the only one who actually had a camera near at hand for most of...

I'm heading out toward's AMGeneral's place on my way to get my M817 that is in storage at Oilcan's place in Ohio... Plan is to leave Brandon's early Friday, drive up to Adam's in Ohio. Scope out the M817 Friday afternoon with the guys. Saturday, PM the truck. Hopefully, by Sunday, we are...

Re: RE: M715 Conversion....need advice HUH?? What heat issues?? I've been running a NP200 behind the Cummins 4BT/ZF S5-42 in my M37 for years at 75mph on the highway with no problems... I did swap out the seals for non-military ones that have a higher temperature rating then the mil-spec...

ACE is right. Now, why they are cut off "who knows"... Maybe it is part of some demil/prep for sale thing (sorta like that line that came out where they are supposed to drain fluids but most often these days they don't, but you always need to check since you never really know...). As...
