As mentioned in my original post: I have 11.00x16 tires, it's likely I'll need a substantial drop from the receiver to get the right height for my 2" ball hitch trailers. I'm not interested in putting that kind of twisting moment on my rear crossmember when towing. This means either reinforcing...
Just did an oil change and cleaned out the air filter and replaced the filter oil in mine yesterday. First oil change since I bought it last September. I had been meaning to get to it earlier, but just hadn't found the time. I was not particularly worried, since th eprevious owner changed the...
I read somewhere that the aftermarket coils are often just a bit too short, so they don't make good contact to conduct the heat away. One fix some people use with some success is to put a metal disc in the bottom to help take up the space (the recommendations I saw were to coat the disk in some...
My passenger seat has a pin near each front corner that seats into a hole to hold the seat bottom from sliding around. I can't remember whether it's the frame with the pins and the seat with the holes, or the other way around. If you need a picture, I can snap one and post it.
Vintage Power Wagons sells a locking door handle that will fit an M37 (VPW refers to the M37 as a "type E" vehicle in their catalog).
The link is to the "Group18: Body" section of their online catalog. Scroll down a few pages (to the page numbered 85), and look near the upper right of that page...
I just turned off my ad blocker for this site. That way, I don't get the pop-up. I just ignore the adds - not that big a deal to scroll right past them.
Lubricants have changed dramatically (improved) since the tech manuals came out. There seems to be a debate between the originaly recommended lubes and more modern ones. I have 10W-30 non-synthetic in my engine and an 80 or 90 weight gear oil in the transmission, be cause that is what was in it...
As someone living in a rural area with a slow internet connection, I sometimes dread the threads with multiple hi-rez photos - especialy when the kids are home using up most of our bandwidth. If I can, I make do with viewing the thumbnail photos.

I'm looking to add a 2" receiver hitch on my 1951 M37. I want to keep the stock pintle hitch. I've seen a few pictures of people who fabricated a receiver set up. I'm thinking of mounting a stock aftermarket receiver hitch sold for modern trucks. It seems the frame rail spacing is the same as...
It certainly is. They could get away with that back when these were made. I'm not sure how they got away with it when they Made the Coot2, a more recently made successor to the original Coot.

"M10 Trailers" (including quotes) will only find it if those two terms appear together and in that order. It would not find a post which read: My M10 is the best trailer.
The board where plain M10 would not have worked, but "M10" did work was basically using the quotes to say: I know this is...
Thanks. I'm new here, so didn't know if it was working before or not.
Your response reminded me: For one board I was on long ago there was a way to override the minimum character setting by putting the term in quotes "M37" the search ignored the quotes, but would force a search on the...
