today started with a surprise, i guess you cannot put some gun wash in a king part washer, my girlfriend had bougth that part washer for valentines day, but my solvent was to hard on my solvent pump....go figure...lol.. then i cleaned and painted some transfert case parts, i got a good pile done and i am left with 2 parts to clean and the major peice will be done on the t-case, next will be the hard ware, that will take more time....lol
here are a few pics , some are of some marking on the casing, including the date it was casted! the surprise! can you see what solvent has done to the pump!  a clean casing  stamped ratio!  casting date 11-2-1954!  i do not know what these mean  an even cleaner casing  the two parts i have left for tomorow  clean guts!  high temperature paint on the casing  paul from sormany

Paul,
we had the same problem after our supplier sent us "gun" cleaner as in paint gun! He warrantied the pump and apologised. How do those tyres affect the gearing, wont they be a bit loud? R

Keep up the good work Paul.
I'm following this thread with interest and always look forward to seeing you post progress reports. An M37 resto is on the horizon for me as well. Mind you mine will include a Repower with 6.2 or 6.5T and a NV4500 trans and a regear to 4.89's as I plan on using mine as daily driver in the summer months. Matthew

Paul
The ratio is on there because the T223 Dodge 6x6 of 1943, had the same transfercase with a different ratio. (1.5 to 1) (the flanges are different but interchangeable) The war time ratios are considered better because you would have 8 different ratios, but with the M37 assembly, one gear in high range is pretty much the same as a higher gear in low range. for example 2nd low is very similar to 1st high, 2nd high is much the same as 3rd low.
See if you can locate a copy of TM9-1808C (now that your nearly finished) Its an interchange info book cover Dodge military and civilian from 1941 to 1971. The same t/fer case (1.96 to 1) with wrong flanges fitted, is found in the M715 and M725
