I used to think the NDT's and NDCC's were tops, which they were, when I lived in a logging camp and drove on gravel 365 days of the year. The first time I drove them on pavement, my opinion changed.

Not sure who did it, but a potentially lethal mod on my M-38A1; Someone used an M-38 tie rod end, which actually held for ages, by socking the clamp down super tight. Even passed inspection. Popped ou ... |

My M37CDN had one of those kerosene engine heaters, though it was defunct by the time we got it. There were a whole bunch of the little loops for the hood blanket, they were always in the way and coll ... |

My old M-37CDN used to get a death wobble occasionally, usually a quick turn to one side or the other straightened it out. A new idler arm bushing cured it permanently. One thing to watch for on older ... |

Also, always check for spark at the plug wires, even if you have spark at the points. You can do this without a helper on the M38A1 or M37, just hold the plug wire about 1/8" or so from the block, wit ... |
