    Trailering a M37

    I purchased a TR100 some years ago to use as a hauler for my M38 and M37... It's similar to the M1061 except that it has a height adjustable lunette ring and full air brakes... It is for sale... My current "go to" trailer for hauling the M37, M38, and Yukon, behind my M931 or XM813 is a...

    Inflating tube tires with lock ring wheels

    I find that a standard sledge with a few pieces of angle iron makes for an easy time breaking these wheels down (there are more than one post showing the process with photos...). Nice thing is that you can use three at once to help wedge and hold down the bead on older tires and you can leave...

    For those of you in the TN, VA, SC, GA, area... I will have my MKT85 setup at the Denton MV Gathering once again this April at the Denton Farmpark in Denton, NC... I cook for those who have signed up in advance (part of my deal with the Farmpark Management is that I only feed my "friends"...

    MKT: Mobile Kitchen Trailer - Checklist and Guide

    I really enjoy using mine with the MBU's... They provide great heat, are easy to troubleshoot, and fuel is easy to find (especially since I can pull from the tank on the XM813...). On the other hand, I used to enjoy using the earlier gas burners when cooking ribs or such since I didn't have to...

    MKT: Mobile Kitchen Trailer - Checklist and Guide

    I ran my MKT-85 at the Haspin gathering one year off a Harbor Freight 800watt two stroke generator... Remember, all it has to do is provide juice for the MBU air pumps and logic boards (and, in my case, LED lighting...). The heat for cooking is coming from the diesel being burned...

    Operation: Ethel. Kendelrios M37 (re)build thread

    The tire appears to be a Michelin, so hopefully, the previous owner replaced the stock tube with a new radial tube when the tire was installed and used a fresh flap when doing so... If so, Ken might get lucky and be able to patch his and move on... I have a few good Michelin tubes/flaps in...

    Shutting Down M817 Question

    As the above responses have stated, fuel is bypassing the cutoff solenoid. Most likely because someone has screwed in/out (I never can remember the direction) the knob that bypasses the cutoff solenoid... Often done when someone is having electrical issues (weak batteries/weak charging/too...

    I have the event blocked out on my work calendar. I plan to have my MKT-85 again this year....May change up the vehicle towing it from the XM813 to something else... Menu ideas will be posted closer to the event.

    Military Magazine resto guide

    I had a copy of David Ahl's book at one time (given to me for a Christmas present when it was published). It was a compilation of his articles in MV Magazine (he was the magazine's publisher). The info wasn't bad, but the book could have been a lot more... I no longer have my copy, I loaned...

    Denton NC 2021

    I have lights! (Convoy beacons)

    There are areas of the house and property that are off limits to the cleaning crew... :) These pages have been in the flat file cabinet next to the workbench for decades... I'm surprised that they didn't yellow more than they did...

    Convoy Light Kit Installation Instructions

    I've attached the two files containing the scans of the installation instructions for the convoy light set that I purchased NOS back in the 1990's for use on my M35A2C...that got moved to a XM813... One scan is of the text pages with the parts list and step by step installation instructions, the...
