Definitely. From my experience with mineral spirits a good soaking/sloshing around will probably help out a lot. I'd let the parts air dry afterwards though, in addition to blowing them out with compressed air. I had to use this type of chemical when rebuilding my axles this summer, thats the...

+1 Good thing you've got that spacer....would be a PIA without!

I haven't dealt with the air cleaner on my M37, but I have on our WM300 Power Wagons at work (same cleaner essentially). I've got the M37 manual right here; It says "Servicing of the carburetor air cleaner...should be performed as frequently as operating conditions require." I'd say clean...

Good save! Sounds like your starting to warm up to keeping her :razz:

Welcome to the site! That truck looks beautiful, I look forward to seeing your progress!

Thought all you guys would be interested to see this! MY father works for the state department of fire services, and was in Pittsfield yesterday doing mask fit testing. I had heard rumor that the town's Civil Defense had an M37, and he said he'd try to get pictures. Sure enough, at lunch...

Welcome, and nice winch bumper!

Our old M1009 at work had this exact problem....annoying as **** isn't it? :razz: Someone had mentioned they thought it had something to do with the speedo, cause it got faster and slower as the truck did, and the speedometer stopped working....but I really don't know how fact based that was...

Well, made the appointment yesterday! The Tuesday following thanksgiving my M37 is being transported to the equipment shop where we bring our power wagons at work... They are flushing out the engine block and water jacket, checking valves etc, and doing the head-gasket for me. I'd LOVE to be...

Looks great! Can't wait until mine is in that condition! :-( I am as well gonna be re-building the winch this winter...

Niceee!

Cool to see!

holy crap you must have hit that hard!

So, today I was able to get everything else done. And I would like to personally thank my truck for helping me define my own personal definition of ****: installing brake lines. :? First is a pic of the union nut I was waiting for, an old Wagner part. I went right out and got a brass plug...

Theres a couple local FDs that have dropside deuces, one of them is a w/w model. The dropside works out really good for them, because they can lower it and take out the fold-a-tank relatively easy

Hey guys, just wanted to share a picture with you I found on a Massachusetts Fire Apparatus photo website; picture was taken this year. Besides the M1009, am I wrong in thinking that that is a mule on the trailer? Figured you guys would enjoy seeing one still being used in the public sector!

Thanks! That looks like mine...I guess I have the right carb then

Gentlemen, I am currently in the market for a carb rebuild kit for my '52 M-37. Now I know that the correct carb is supposed to be a etw1..... Mine says "Ball & Ball Manufactured for Chrysler Corp." with the number 0-781 stamped on the side. It looks original, but from these numbers can...

Guys: Its been over a month since my last post; I've made only a little progress since then unfortunately! Been all tied up at school an hour away from home, but I did make it home last week to do some work to the ol' girl. Got the front brake lines all installed all the way to the master...

I guess I must have been miss-informed. BUT, I have seen several descriptions like this, makes sense to me: The M42 was an M37 with a "Command Car Kit" applied. The kit included the following: Map light and reel, map harness, junction box, map table, side curtains with clear plastic windows...
