A good flat head can do that....
Hi Phil
A good running flat head in a M37 in low range...first gear is very slow.... engine would have enough power to run the blower and the drivetrain. No different than my Massey with a 7 foot wide blower driven by the PTO.... that poor little 4 cyl Perkins at 45 BHP can handle it quite well as long as you stay in low gear. On heavy snow storm like you got in October I can actually stall out the engine if I try to cut over 20 inches of wet snow........ the secret is you raise the blower 6 inches of the ground and make two passes. In the Ottawa area it was quite common to have a plow on a Dodge M series using the winch to raise the plow...... made for very heavy steering and hard to make sharp turns but they did push a lot of snow....ideal plow was made from a section of boiler plate cut to take advantage of the curved plate. Hey so far... Ottawa is as green as ....... well you know !! Bob

Look at exhaust location
Hi Bob
Agree with you, meant to say that the standard truck could not go slow enough. M37 owner who commented on the V8 said that the exhaust was on the wrong side, which he took be that it had exhausts on both side. So which side does the exhaust come out? When I looked at the standard pickup and the M37 it looked like the M37 was the better choice. Looks like a good rig. Cheers Phil
