The Rebuild

[Bob Carriere]

...... it was common practice to fill M 37 Dodge steering box with grease as they were bad leakers also........ and we use to top out trannies with the then famous STP....about to cans...... worked great until the following WInter at minus 25C the tranny would not shift as the oil was almost solid.

I wondered why the stuff that came out of the steering box so thick, it was thinner than grease but thicker than gear oil.

Which means the solution to my leak problem is probably to pump it half full of grease to mix with the gear oil and just keep adding grease until it stops leaking.

I'll have to check the service bulletin book to see if it mentions this.

Time is running out so I swaped the stearing box this afternoon it is full of chain oil and still has a slight seap but it's not bad enough to fix yet. I must have lighned the splines up OK as I still have both locks.

Went to Wagga this morning to pick up the T rubber I ordered for the windscreens. While I was there I bought another two profiles and used them to seal the hatch and take the anoying noise out of it. I got the pasenger windscreen cleaned and painted and the drivers side cleaned and one rusty corner patched with quick steel. Lastly I mounted a switch in the dash for the wiper.

If you get to the point that replacing the windshield frames need to be replaced and good condition CMP replacements are not readily available, here is how I got around the problem.

Thanks for the link Phil in this game all help is much apreciated.
Spent most of yesterday carting kids about and chasing the dollar but managed to get one windscreen back on and the other one sanded and painted.

for the hatch I used 50mm x 13mm then glued 13 x 2mm then 25 x 4, fits real well and seals. design taken off old hatch rubber.
