Rebuilt engine swapped in, sandblasted and powder coated frame, Husky Overdrive, 11" drum brakes front and rear, turn signal and heater upgrades, Ramsey 190L PTO winch, and way too much more.
The only issue I'm having, is in low speed, going forward, there is a pretty heavy "clunking" sound. I have looked all over the undercarriage. Most everything has been replaced, and I can't find anything out of place. The sound isn't there in reverse, and disappears at higher speeds. Anybody have any ideas?

Is your clunking a regular and rhythmic sound or is it a random clunk? If it is regular, how fast is it? Does it speed up as you go faster until it quits or does it just stay the same speed and then stop suddenly? Is there any noticeable vibration with the clunks?
Sorry for all the questions, but it might help folks come up with ideas for you.

After all that, it was the parking brake! Everything except the body and the parking brake has been replaced or rebuilt. _________________ 1952 M38A1
