It's for the Fat Chick duh!8) John

As a tow / pull out chain, Nothing beats the nylon tow rope. The best have a chain and hook "weaved in" on each end so you don'r cut or chaff the nylon. Buy one that matches the weight you want to pull. I have seen them for sale at tractor/farm implement stores. Don't leave them out in the...

Thanks much for all the input ! I went to resources and looked at the TM's. Wow. I thought the M37 had allot of different TM's but------------Wow. I'm very thankful for the access to them here. I'm leaning towards removing the main driveshaft and checking the gear oil for my short haul. The...

Forwarned is forarmed! I'll bet this fix is not in the TM! Valuable piece of info. Thanks! John

I plan on picking up the Deuce with a big wrecker so I only have to make one trip, and will have no insurance or issues. I so far understand that I just need to put the transmission/transfercase in neutral for the tow. If they drained the rear diffs, what wrench and where is the fill/level plug...

Sorry Dodgeman, my camera doesn't do well with up close shots. My Arvin is about 14 x 14 inches square with a revolving front shutter system in front of the core the fan blows through. You can rotate the 3 shutter system and aim it where you want. It's mounted to the right of the 4 wheel drive...

I chemically stripped the plates other than the glove box and then painted the whole thing flat black. Then with a piece of 600 grit wet or dry paper taped to a flat small putty knife sanded the surface gently. If the plates have letters that have relief or taller than the main surface, it works...

The hole in front of the door is for the left front fender mounted optional heater for the cab. It blew across to the glove box behind the dash and then either dumped out a chute to the floor or went through the other dash hole into the steel defroster box. There was a flex hose coming across...

Thanks for the info and thread guys! John

The yard guy I talked to was sort of leaning towards the truck being fine, After reading your experiences, maybe a guy should take gear oil for the rear ends and go with the wrecker even if it's only 45 miles. I love to be nice to my toys before playing!!!! The photos, which don't tell all...

If the truck you're looking at is labeled unkown make and year, where are the plates that have the info.? Kaiser Jeep Corp., General Products Division, AM General, how do you tell them apart? I see difference in pictures and years, but the most simple thing between each is what I'm trying to...

Knowing local guys is a big plus. I have tried to help people here in the Black Hills with their Jeep stuff and on G503 etc. Returning the favor actually is fun and you make good friends. Thanks for the additional tip on the differentials, I can't believe they would drain them if they were...

Thanks for the quick replys! I really like your two appointment idea. You can try yourself first, and come back later with the wrecker. I'll ask the yard manager if they drained fluids and of what nature, another excellent thing to know. If they did, a wrecker might be the smart way to go. A...

I think the pickup idea is out. Even it will pull the bumper off the M35, I won't have much luck stopping it. If a guy hires a wrecker to come and get it, does one have to re-lease brake pots with a over-ride screw, or will the M35A2 roll OK with the engine not running. I'm down to drive if it...

I'm ready to buy one. Once the GL payment and permits are final, I planned on taking batteries (2 -12's) and hoping it starts runs and drives. If it doesn't, I have a dodge diesel pickup and tow chain. What is involved in towing one? Does the air have to be up to release the brakes? Brakes...

Riot, your ride description brought back memories for me! Toyota Landcruiser with a 4 bolt main 350------full house mouse motor. Buried me in the seat-----cool. You have----Green Disease"! Welcome to our club. Frankly, if you want the HP, buy it. If you want what it was intended for----don't...

A M37 is nothing more than a big Willys Jeep. 40 MPH and worse gas mileage. But----will haul huge and will crawl over anything. Not for divided highways. Very good for back country. A real pal. Yes, rural to work fine. If you like old machines and like old Jeeps, you will love a M37. I have 3...

You can call or look up on the net, Midwest Military, John Bisal. He has stuff you wouldn't think are availabe! John

Riot, the turning radius is indeed wide and it won't turn on a dime, the gear ratio is low meaning slow. You will tach out the 350 chevy at 50 mph. A 350 will give you twice the fuel economy of the dodge flathead six. They get around 9-10 mpg with lockout hubs. Less without. The low gearing...

The last truck shown is just what you want. Where you live and where that truck is, is another consideration if you have to haul it home. They weigh almost 6000 pounds. You may want to watch GSA (Gov't Services Administrations Auction sight) for one near you. They pop up often, but distance can...
