I ordered some new head studs about 2 years ago and when I started assembling the other day I broke some of the studs at 70ft lbs. Since I couldn't remember who I order them from I reorder from 2 different vendors since one had the long studs in stock and the other the regular or short studs. I...

I have a 24v stub nose starter for my M38. The starter works great but the overrun clutch is slipping. This part seems difficult to find and I don't want to replace the entire starter when only the clutch is bad. Below is a picture and the PN with descriptions. If anyone knows a supplier that...

I had to figure out a way to bend my frame back from a twist it had. I found this method effective and thought it might help others out there with similar issues. I drilled 1/2 holes into my floor and used 3/8" drop in anchors. I then screwed in 3/8 eye bolts. This was done on all four...

My Ring and pinion are badly worn so I got a new one the other day. Same PN 18396 and same manufacture - Salisbury. My problem is the shoulder is different that the shims rest on and the over length is shorter for the outer bearing and yoke. I think there is a spacer or some kind of bushing...

I recently purchased a M38 and have a bill of sale. I've done some research and found that in my state of Illinois a title can be created if a bond is posted for 1.5x the "appraised" value. The funds are held by the state and in three years if no liens or claim to ownership are made you get a...

The first step in what is sure to be a long restore project will be the carb. I decided to do something small as a meaningful first step. I tore the carb apart and ordered a Caswell Copy Cad plating chemicals. I didn't but the kit just the Copy Cad chemicals and yellow chromemate. So far it has...
