Hey Dave how are you? This is Lane ,Brian M's buddy. Well I just found out I bought a 5 ton dump truck in Page, Nebraska. Any ideas on how to get it home? Is this something you can do? Here is the story on the truck. It ran good and then blew a head gasket. Keep in mind this is a town of 120...

plugs I pulled the plug and turned it over. I had a nice blue spark. These are also new plugs but I will re-check the gap to make sure. That electric ignitor puts out some good clean spark. No more points. I drained the battery so I am charging them now and will try some of the mentioned things...

Ok guys here is the deal. I have put a new intake and exhaust manifold, new carburator, new distributor with electric ignition, re-built fuel pump, new exhaust, new plugs, new wiring harness, and new others. I have been trying to get it started and found out I had no spark. I then replaced the...

Troop seats I will talk with our head honcho and see what he wants for them. I do know he wants them out of his garage. The troop seats were in good shape. I think the bows had some rust but were not bent. I just remember him saying they were a pain in the A@# to get off... I will be in touch...

original top? Very nice looking truck. Are you going to do it back to original specs? If so we may be willing to part with the troop seats and top bows from our M880. I will talk to the head dude if you are interested. We took them off and put a topper on. I dont think we will be using them...

Found one at Finlay show. Thank you.

Looking for good pictures of Canadian M37's in service. Camo patterns, gear, radio configuration, Arctic weather operations, anything. I will be restoring mine for a future museum exibit and have not been able to locate very much info on the subject. Unit markings, tire selection,camo patterns...

Hi guys. First of all let me say I know nothing about Unimog trucks sooo. I am doing some research about them for a friend in the contruction business. He would like to purchase a crew cab model with a diesel and a dump box. Who is re-doing these and is a trustworthy seller? We are in Michigan...

How are they getting the old hummer tires to work? Arent they about 36 inches tall? I see in some of your pictures on the project page you have the old wagon wheel style on some of your trucks. Are those 16 inch or 16.5? I have a set of 16 inch 8 lug alluminum wheels off of my 3/4 ton GMC. I am...

So whats the biggest tire you can put on the stock 16.5 rims? 36 inch tall? 16.5/305's? I am still tracking down the wiring problems.. It all appears to be 12 volt.. It has the military slave cable hook up in the front, and the back hook up for military trailers. I did not know they had 12 volt...

I think,,, I think he is refering to some bad workmanship performed by the above mentioned business. :x I remember reading something about them and bad welds along time ago. I could be wrong but.. maybe he will elaberate. :wink:

A few more question for you guys?? Will the 16.5 hummV rims fit on this truck? What is the biggest tire you could put on a stock truck. Only guage that is working is the volt meter?? No driving lights for speedo and guages. Whats the best thing to check other that the fuse? Will GMC 16 inch...

This truck was just at the Findlay show. The guy who had it there said he just bought it off of ebay??? Anyway it has a all alluminum body so it wont rust. I cant stand this pariticular front end that smiles at you but it was neet to see. It is very low in the back and lacks that upward slant...

Ahhhh. The fog is lifting a bit... I hope to poke around under the dash this weekend. I will let you know what I find. I walked out today and it started right up. So far all I have done is replace some leaking gas lines and charged the battery. The 4 wheel drive seems to work good and there is a...

They are not that scarce. The winch bumpers are another story though. You will pay 800 to 1500 depending on the shape it is in and the stuff that comes with it. I just watched 3 go on epay. Oh, you can call John Bizal at Midwest Military and order a complete kit to install a winch on a M37.I am...

I am finding the electrical is screwed up. None of the guages work and the military light switch does nothing. No running lights in the cab and the headlights are very dim. It only takes one battery and it starts just fine but because of the dim lights I thought they might be 24 volt bulbs. I am...

Did you see this one on epay? Nice truck and price. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4639893336&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

I knew the Huron forest thing. I actually saw the Escanaba from the guy before you and thought it was part of your post.... Your in our neck of the woods. We could sure use some M880's around the meets and shows.. :lol:
