Came here from Casey's. Staying because of your content! Fantastic! Maybe fill the water tank to get some weight for traction for getting the clutch to release?
!964-1966 drove one all over Germany (US Army). Very capable, handles mud but the heater isn't the most powerful. Tops out around 50-55 mph. Will haul a load while pulling a heavy trailer.
Great truck! Put it in compound low hold the clutch down while your driving and get on and off the gas a bunch of times. That might break the clutch disc off the flywheel.
Ha, nice to see you playing a with a 'Modern' Dodge. Why so suprised the old T214 would start? I have two of your ones older sisters a 1944 WC51 and 1944 WC 54. Both still going happily. Came over after seeing you with Casey. There will be a chioke, and a hand throttle, the trick is , choke out. Turn three or four times ignition off. Add ignition , as soon as it fires , choke in. If it's a Ball carb you notice a hiccup on acceleartation. The mechanical clutch is very twitchy on the push rod adjustment, so get the manual and set it up.
I like you sir i like this shop that equipment and everything thats oldschool cool video keep on making such awesome Videos much respect Patrick 👍👍✌👨🏭
I have a 55 Canadian built m37. It has a larger engine than the US trucks . Vintage wiring of main has an excellent replacement wiring harness. That's what I used in mine
Love watching old Dodges brought back to life. Get that clutch working you will have a cool little yard truck to run around. Rewiring it shouldn't be that hard. No stupid computer to worry about.
Very cool! I'm restoring a 1953 M37CDN in full Arctic trim now, and a 1952 M37CDN going to get a restomod treatment with a Mercedes OM606 diesel repower.
The levers on the floor are for the transfer case. Both levers forward is two wheel drive, both back 4 low, 1 up and 1 back is 4 high ( Outside lever back).
The paint was Martin Senour 98L-1293 Olive Drab semi gloss. The current PPG paint code is 45813. But considering you're probably not going to a complete cab off restoration, just a good semi-gloss or flat paint should work great and look like most of the surplus vehicles transferred from the GOV to the small gov did when they were delivered.
The M37 was rated as ton and quarter vehicle when I was in the Army in 74 if we had a stuck clutch unofficially we would figure out how far it took to start it and add about 10 feet to that and let it run into a semi moveable target with the clutch depressed. Common thing in cold South Dakota winters. Would let it break loose.
Love them trks they were the best can't kill them had one rod knocking i tried to make it blow up so to put spare eng in ended up selling few years later never did blow motor
knew i saw a m37m technically not a power wagon though, pws are the civi version but its a grandfather to the pw, have my grandpas 41 dodge wc which is also a grandfather to the m37
Dam i want that truck(Mashed potatoes] So can you do a complete tear down to frame and restore? Keep what old but worth keeping and up grade stuff for the better.. God if I lived closer I be there every day Like the wheels, love the wheels but split are dangerous and it will need bead locks and power steering, ac and a heater..
If the clutch "stuck" (the clutch plate is stuck to flywheel) Start in gear, drive around with clutch pedal engaged. It will loosen in a short period. You did drive around, but you didn't have the clutch pedal engaged.
I love these old Power Wagons! Great job getting it running! The one part I'm interested in is the big winch on the front. Isn't it hydraulic? How nasty is that thing from sitting for years and years?
Typo on the model. Ours in Canada ran from 50 to 59. I forget the price on them. Dad was a RCEME RSM & had all the details. I think I still have the Cdn Drivers manual for them
What do you think is reasonable for an unrestored one? What did you give for yours? You did something I had not seen before. You dragged the truck to break the gear free. Cool idea. I did not know you could do that. So you only had to repair the clutch, roof, tank and wires?
I know you young fellows they don't know how to set up a carburetor but you are on your way Quentin restore but old Dodge Brothers truck for shits and giggles it'll be different than working on heavy equipment with diesel engines in
" Click Bait " its is not a power wagon its a military M37 truck, the power wagon is a civilian truck. I have got a 1951 M37 ex. Spanish military. In the early 1980 they changed the petrol engine to a Santana (Landrover) Cazorla 6 cylinder diesel engine.
Love them old trucks

Definitely worth a shot, thanks for staying i really appreciate it.
Yes looking forward to follwing your projects

I was two years old in 1965. My dad had an old military ambulance.

Cool Dodge....hope you do something cool with it

Loved seeing you on Casey's channel. Subscribed and ready to enjoy all your projects. What is next for this Power wagon?
New clutch!

Awesome
Very interesting, looking for a better powerplant for my m37 as well. What transmission will you be running along with the OM606?
In viet Nam, 1967 my unit had several m37s, I remember loading sandbags up to roof top, driving and tires rubbing fenders, paint burned off fenders.

You should have brought that to the snow run instead 😂
No kidding haha

3/4 ton. M-715 5/4 ton.
Per the military manual, it's rated one ton on road, 3/4 ton off road.
Great to see the old iron around best truck ever in my mind Great Job getting it running 👍👍👍👍
I have a 1953 M37, they are rad old chunks of steel! You are really stoked that you have the PTO winch!!
That would be a hell of a nice yard truck for you Quinton and you have a lot of fun jumping it all the time just to drive it to look for parts
Love them trks they were the best can't kill them had one rod knocking i tried to make it blow up so to put spare eng in ended up selling few years later never did blow motor
Wishing you and your family a Merry and Blessed Christmas, and a Happy and Blessed New Year
Every time you say "Power Wagon" and not "M37"...
I have beer around here somewhere...
OD green. (OD means "Over Dirt")
Vintage Wiring of Maine or Vintage Power Wagons or Midwest Military all supply excellent correct wiring harnesses.
Very cool thanks for sharing
Love to have that thing very nice
Really enjoying your channel!! That’s going to be a great project to fix up. She does run smooth! Thank you for sharing!
makes me miss my m37s
Memphis Equipment, in Tennessee, or Boyce Equipment in Utah will have a source for tm for M37.
I live in Alaska and always had better luck with machinery after letting it thaw out.
thats a cool old truck looks like fun great video
It's called Armstrong steering, that is why there is a 20 inch steering wheel.
knew i saw a m37m technically not a power wagon though, pws are the civi version but its a grandfather to the pw, have my grandpas 41 dodge wc which is also a grandfather to the m37

The moment of truth

The winch is driven of the transmission PTO, not hydraulic
My dream has come true thank you for video
We just called them 3/4s. Go just about anywhere
Will go over and past anything, besides a gas station!! Hahahaha
Would try to take of bellhousing cover and see if u can prey the cluch loos
Need to put it in 4th then drag it with the clutch engaged
Tried that, failed miserably
Great vehicle, super Project
amply worth your while
ENJOY‼️
👊🔥

Great video! Any updates on the powerwagon?
its a 230 inline, shel fire
As you're driving. Work the clutch pedal.
Pretty hard for that truck to be of 1965 vintage cause the M32 was only produced between 1950 & 1959
It's an M37 and was produced from 1951 through 1968.
Typo on the model. Ours in Canada ran from 50 to 59. I forget the price on them. Dad was a RCEME RSM & had all the details. I think I still have the Cdn Drivers manual for them

They both sell hardtop for M37s
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Quentin anything in the military us directions how to run great Dona bazookas and hand grenades I said just don't read the hand grenades too long
👍😊🔦
The M37 was never referred to as the Power Wagon...
" Click Bait " its is not a power wagon its a military M37 truck, the power wagon is a civilian truck. I have got a 1951 M37 ex. Spanish military. In the early 1980 they changed the petrol engine to a Santana (Landrover) Cazorla 6 cylinder diesel engine.
Click bait indeed!!! Who ever wondered??? Ofcourse it would fire up!!! Lol
Where was she made Toledo Ohio jeep plant worked there 31years 85 to 2016 don't reamber that one lol deisel
Bring up rpm and try shifting
That is not a power wagon if I’m not wrong that’s a Dodge M35
