Thanks for the bump. I have not seen so many detailed pictures of the M724. It confirms that my truck did start life as an M724 and maybe that is why the data plate was missing. But the serial number on the title fits nicely into the sequence of an M724. My truck has the original type of air filter and no carburetor spacer with the governor. There is no frame number in the usual place on the right front frame horn. I can not get to the rear frame because a plate is welded on top of it for a goose neck trailer ball ... which is still there! One day, I will grind off all of that rubbish.
- I had the rear brake locking solenoid which I removed because it caused problems, not to mention that it was not necessary to be there.
- I have a patch in the floor where the engage/disengage handle was.
- The governor was mounted on the left side inner fender and I removed it.
- My truck has a welder instructions plate on the dashboard.
Slowly converting it to an M715. When I finally get moved to Florida and sell this house (and get out of debt!!!) I will be looking for another good bed since mine has a lot of holes in it due to fertilizer being stored in it uncovered and in the rain!
Again, Thanks!

[QUOTE=brute4c;87443]Underneath the truck, the tcase has a through drive on the parking brake location and additional linkages...a closer view and a wider one:
Looking rear ward from the case, one sees a LARGE pulley with 4 belts that is hooked to the welder above in the bed to power it. On the right in these pics is a little belt driven part...I didnt check into what that is..sorry...wide and closer views:

The smaller pulley is the drive for the under hood mounted engine governor.

Yep, No problemo Don.
I saw this truck looking for something else... and felt just like that scene in the Terminator movie, when Arnold picked up the Vulcan Cannon in the underground desert armory...
"It's definitely You" said John Conner...
Arnold just grins...
I have an entirely new respect and want for these M 724 trucks now...
