RickF has posted his after action report on the G838 (the M151 site..).
He put his photos up on photobucket, so I'm posting that link here for everyone to enjoy.

AB Linn is in Salisbury.
M Series Rebuild (Charles Talbert) is in Norwood (between Albemarle and Charlotte).
Delks is in Asheboro
White Owl is in Kinston (Terry Kivett and George Kivett, Jr.)
ACE (Sid Beck) is in Texas, but I heard that he has retired and sold his stuff to RAPCO (Mark Dodd)...
I guess that I will have to excuse you both from comming up to VA if you were out picking up a great looking M37...:)
Don't forget that I've got a few parts (seats, seat covers, wiring harnesses, etc) for these... I also have a little bit of info on my website...
I got home at 2100... I also had a "boring" ride home... :)
I had a great time and want to thank not only those that helped put this event on, but all of you that made it (in person or in spirit). We (the Graves familly and I) are looking forward to seeing everyone next year when we do it...
There is a nice article at Seabee Cook that explains the conversion of the older M1937 burner to propane that should be usefull for this conversion. I sold off my M2 burners a while back when I got a bunch of MBU's, so I have never tried a propane conversion.
See:
Converting an M1937 Fire...
You just need to let me know when, and I'll have one of my coworkers haul it (the MICLIC) up to you. His Mom still lives just outside of Asheville...and I just sold him a trailer.
Of course, if AMGeneral drove down with 915A1 and the 172A1, he could pick up some engines that I have for him...
I will be on site Thursday just before lunch (assuming that Murphy stays away...).
I just sent an email to the folks reminding them of a few things that need to be done that morning (open the gate to the field, turn the hot water on in the showers, etc.
Mike should have the signs up before any...
I drive through Zion Crossroads every time that I make the run from Raleigh to Syria...usually in my XM813, the Cummins powered M37, or the M817... Sometimes, I make the run in my 944S2.
I'd run up in my M816 with the tag trailer and snag your ride this week, but I already told Neil that I would...
Mike is correct about the lack of cell phone coverage. I have a PRC77 in both the truck and the jeep. I'll have the 2-way (Motorolla) for use in calling the Lodge office, and will have the CB in hand as well.
It kinda depends... :)
I usually run from Raleigh to Syria on NC50, then up US15 to VA231, then on VA670... US15 is two lane almost all the way, but it is a very pretty drive and I have never had any issues with traffic. It is about four hours for me.
I have tried running from Raliegh up...
Sounds like we have some great options here. My buddy in Thomson needs the paint sooner than the GA rally (he has a guy painting a few vehicles and they are short on paint...), so he needs it sooner rather than later.
I'll hand it over to Ferro when he is at my place on Sunday, and well...
I have a buddy who is in Thomson, GA (about thirty miles west of Augusta, GA) who needs to have a case of paint moved from my place in Raleigh to his location...
I know that I can ship it to him, but we'd like to avoid the hazmat fees...
Is anybody headed that way who could toss a case of...
I will be at the rally on Thursday before lunch...
We have the t-shirt design up on the website in case anyone wants to see what it looks like. It features a M37 up on the ridge...
Go to http://www.gravesmountaintrailrides.com/ and click on the t-shirt tab on the left side of the...
Thanks for the link, but no-one in that thread mentioned the dimension that I am looking for... I'm wanting to put a hitch on a truck that has a pintle hitch that is sitting lower than one on a M35, so I need to make sure that the distance from the bottom of the frame to the top of the...
What is the distance from the frame to the top of the reciever tube on this hitch? Curt no longer puts the dimensions on thier website or in the printed catalog. :(
Thanks.
The large bearing is the inner and is retained by the dust seal and the snap ring, the small bearing is the outer and is reatained by the nut/lockring/nut combination.
When you have the hub off, remember to give a very light coat of bearing grease to the entire inside of the hub to prevent it...
You can't be expected to know about possum... But, since armadillo is just possom on the half-shell, you can substitute any of your armadillo recipies if you ever acquire one for supper...

Since the M101 and M101A1 use the same hubs as the M37 and M37B1, you can utilize the parts cross reference page on my website, or you could contact any of the M37 parts dealers and order from them...
The parts cross reference page on my website for the M37 is located at...
