Hi guys. I have a Canadian M37 with a few problems. I am trying to take the vent valve apart and I would swear that it is one solid piece and will not come apart. Any advice? Also, should the vent valve completely block air flow or just restrict it? When cranking the engine I get very little...

I gave up on my stock pump and put in an electric. I still have the pump and will figure it out one day.

Yah. It is a junky looking thing. If your neighbours get upset you can send it over to me and park it in my yard :) It looks pretty complete and a very good candidate for a nice paint job. These are pretty rare up in my neck of the woods. If it was supposed to be running, will you get something...

Mine was so bad that the rad cleaners I took it to said they couldn't clean it. I borrowed an old cement mixer without the drum, attached the tank to it and rotated it for about 6 hours with a bucket full of gravel. It did a decent job. I fabbed a filter for the fuel pick up in the tank and it...

That would be great Storm. I have the EME manuals but it just does not seem to add up Thanks

Hi guys. I would like to try adjusting my governor on my stock 251 m37. The manual tells me that it is simply a matter of removing the cap over the adjusting screw and turning it. Problem is, the screw seems tight. It is a weak looking brass screw with a slotted head. I am afraid if I torque it...

Following this thread with interest. My M37 rebuild has had similar problems. The truck sat for a lot of years befor I got it. Every time I found one problem, another would pop up. At this time , the truck starts well, idles well, has lots of power, right up to 35 mph. Then it just will not go...

Have you tried taking the thermostat out and running without it?

I'm just rebuilding my pump. If it is a worn cam, I will leave it as I am going to use an electric pump anyway. The engine is in top form so it would be a bit much to tear her apart just for the cam if worn. Call me lazy but with everything else needed to get her back on the road that would be...

I have a similar problem. I need to blast my truck box but we are in the rainy months here in the north west. It will have to wait till drier weather.

Looks in nice shape. I got mine just a couple of months ago and still just stripping it down. We are in the rainy season up here so a bit of that sunshine in your photos would be nice.

I did my driver training on 3/4t in 68 in the militia and then again in the regular force in Kingston in 69. I left Germany in Oct 74

I get over to the island as often as possible. I am always hunting for parts. I just ordered some stuff from the US and the exchange is killing me. I thought you guys might like this picture of my son when he was in cadets. The local armoury has a Ferret. We still used them when I was in.

BEEEEEEER!... Beer was as important as ammo while in Germany. We had a bug out once at about 03:00. Bombed up our tanks, loaded out gear and prepared to shove off into the hinterland. We sat, parked, in convoy for a couple of hours waiting for something. The colonel of the regiment came tearing...

Guyfang I left Germany in 75. I was with the Royal Canadian Dragoons in Lahr at the time. I didn't have a truck back then. I had an m113 set up as a work shop. I was a gun plumber

Nice trucks guys. There are a few kicking around in my area but have never had the chance to pick one up. They are a bit more pricey than a regular M37. Do any of you guys ever get mistaken for the first aiders at events?

Hi Plowguy. The photos were taken on Lake Erie near Long Point in southern Ontario. I was in the 3rd RCR militia (the 3rd became the 4th in 70). I want to re-create some of the pictures with similar settings. I dug these old pictures up to see if they had any unit markings as I am going to try...

It was in 1968. I was in the Canadian reserves and 16 years old. The 3/4 ton was the first vehicle I ever drove. I am rebuilding one now. The tank is getting cleaned, have a new fuel pump and odds and ends on order. Hope to have it on the road come spring. Here are some pictures from almost 50...

Thanks for all the welcomes. I will get some pics up soon. As usual, I stared work without the "before photos. The body and frame were blasted and painted several years ago, then left in a field for who knows how long. The truck box was blasted and left unpainted so, sitting in the rainy west...

Hi guys. This is my first post on this forum. I am rebuilding a Canadian M37 Engine size is 250 cubes. My fuel pump works fine on the bench but doesn't work on the engine. The only thing I see possibly wrong is, when you push in on the rocker arm, there is about 3/8" play before it comes up hard...
