Thanks Charles. Yes, I think it needs to be rebuilt for peace of mind and safety's sake. I really didn't want to have to do it but it is the prudent thing to do.

Thanks for your expertise.

Thanks for all the replies! Yes, I inspected the inside of the tranny (m37 B1) before install, all gears/shafts were shiney with no signs of rust. I could rotate the shafts by hand and did not feel any roughness. The shift tower is NOS (civilian) and was function tested at VPW before shipping. After...

Is it a problem of height/width or both? If height, can you air down the tires to make it fit?

Hey all, I just swapped an M37 NP420 transmission into my 1955 Civilian Power Wagon. Swapped it for the original crash box tranny. Anyway, I have some noises that I didn't have before the swap.

Can't wait to see some pics of these!

my next tire will probably be the 10.50 x 16 directional. it is made by STA and sold by Wallace Wade and maybe a few others. great price and go faster with 38 inch height.

Fun! Sounds good.

Well, that is why the made the change, to put a more common rim with surge brakes. If you want to match the M37 you'll have to go with the M101A1. You can always fab up some brakes for it, probably won't be easy or inexpensive. Your choice.

Who did you order from and what did you get?

Flush it, fill it, run it. They are tough.

I believe timing should be set at 4 degrees before TDC. Not sure if that will make a difference in your case? Also, maybe the choke is not closing all the way?
