    Brake drum removal, m37

    Now just make sure to re tap the threads on the screw holes. Get the old rust out and use a bit of anti-sieze on the new scews. Have fun lining up the holes.

    What have you done to your M-37 lately?

    Been fixing frost plugs fuel problems and wiring. Added to the herd a donor ( 52 w/w found on e-flay) that upon closer inspection turns out to be a "simple" restoration with all the spares I have. Will post once I get some better pics check out the threads I have.

    My New M37

    Like al things it is eaiser to pull apart than to put back together. The generator weighing all of 20+ pounds and a bad back would have made for some creative wording last night. Luckly I remembered that I had a old fence puller and with some creative rigging was able to remount the generator...

    Well getting to the second plug is a pita I have to remove the starter and in place you only get about 1/6 th a turn each time on the top nut. I guess going slow is better than a frozen nut
