Internally mine had a "70" cast in below the front bearing with a 12 segment starburst and 3 dots in the starburst. Assume this is 1970 with the dots indicating the week and the position of the dots in the seconds month spot?? that verifies at least the date, but not that its an '837. You MAY be able to with the fan and pulley removed see this with a endoscope type camera.
Looking at this a bit further, since this is a casting date this one may indicate the first month (January) in the segment area with the 3 dots the third week. This should of course pre-date the stamping, but by how much is anyone's guess just like most of these things without many more data points.
