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...

Duplicate post (not sure how I managed that)

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...

An issue with the search function: It's ignoring some fairly important search terms. For example, if I search for "M37 brakes" I get a message at the top of the search return: "The following words were not included in your search because they are too short, too long, or too common: m37" I...

Yeah, I was happy to find this stuff. Now I've just got to figure out the mechanical end of mounting a receiver hitch on my M 37.

There are some good options for the electrical part of towing a 12V trailer behind your 24V tow vehicle. For the trailer lights, member @mikew makes 24V to 12V trailer light converter cables that will run your 12 V trailer lights off the 24v trailer connector on your vehicle. He also sells a...

From what I've heard and read, these were never used by the military, though a few were purchased for testing. A fair number were purchased by power line companies for power line monitoring. Most were used for recreation.

Just realized I resurrected a 5 years dormant thread here. Sorry about that. I own 2 Coots. They were fun vehicles. Amphibious, articulated in the middle to keep all 4 wheels on the ground. 4 Wheel Drive, originally powered by a 12 HP single cylinder Tecumseh engine. These were geared more for...

Actually, that output shaft was for the optional propeller outdrive. without the prop, it would go about 2 knots in the water, just from spinning it's tires. With the prop, the water speed increased to about 5 knots

I have a dead heater in my M37. I've not really looked in to options to replace it yet. What did you not like about the Southwind, and what influenced your choice of the Gobi heater?

It turns out that the "someone" I found that is making 24v to 12v trailer lighting adaptors is none other than @mikew. You're not exacty a "hard sell" type of guy are you Mike? Instead of sending me a link to his products, he's here giving me tips n how to make my own. After looking at the...

Thanks for the heads up on that, Mike. I found someone making adapter cable assemblies from a link earlier on this thread. From the schematic, it appears he's using a single larger buck converter, and using that to feed several relays, one for each of the needed circuits. I'll probably buy one...

Digging up a rather old thread, but wouldn't it be possible to put a 24v to 12v buck converter on whatever circuit you want to drop down to 12V? A stop/turn signal draws about 2 amps. Is there any reason not to just put one of these $10 24V to 12V 5 Amp buck converter in each of the lighting...
