I saw the ones at VPW after I posted this. I also saw they have them for 1/4" oversized drums which mine are. I need to check the drums I took off of my other 37 when I put the disc brakes on since I think they were in much better shape. I am going to pull the wheel cylinders tomorrow and see if...

I am sure this exists here somewhere but I have not been able to find it. I have found that the M37 I bought that was ready to go is far from it and it needs a lot of parts. I want to see what is available from the civilian side after seeing the price for one, yes ONE, brake shoe!! If I have to...

Just remember that modern diesel does not last forever like the old stuff used to. So be sure to get some stabilizer for it. The govt. has even managed to screw up diesel fuel. ""I love the whisky idea actually, great to barter with."" Exactly what I was thinking, liquid money after the shtf...

Nice! But kind of overkill for storing diesel fuel don't you think? You will never have to worry about rust and I cannot honestly think of what I would put in there for survival stuff, Whisky? LOL. If you got them for a good price I can understand it but you can get steel oil drums for 20-25...

Dang! I went right past Norfolk on Thursday with that M37 on the trailer!!! Could have stopped in. But I am guessing those 11.00's are far from cheap!! Thanks for all of the size verifications, that kind of helps me zoom in a little. I want to stay in the same ballpark. I do not want to go...

Those air vents should be opening up at least a little bit even at those temps. Fully closed it will overheat even on cold days. Have you taken the shrouds off and lubricated all of the moving joints? Made sure they were free?

I think the stock tires are in the 33-34" range. My other 37 is half buried in the weeds so I can't get an accurate measurement.

Are you actually running the 315's on your truck? If so any possibility of getting a pic or two?

Normally a wide tire on a skinny rim will be an issue due to the bead seating surface being pulled out and not sitting flat on the rim. But the fact that these tires will have tubes makes that a moot point. Very high pressure is still an issue but there is no need to run 60 lbs. of air on this...

A 315/75 calls for a 8-11 inch rim, a two inch difference is substantial. I am not saying it is out of the question, just want to know if others are using this size. Pricing is attractive for this size and selection is good. That will offset the 45.00 each price of the tubes!

I was looking at that, does anyone on here use them?

I am not sure how they would work on this style of rim. They do work very well on normal rims and especially on ATV rims.

Oh I know how to do them, I am getting too old to do it though!!! Swinging the duckbill accurately just ain't in me no more. Actually I am not even sure where my duckbill is? I owned a shop back when split rims and and ring locks, While not real common, were still in use.

Well, I have picked up the 37 and loaded 5 extra, old tires and rims into the back of my truck. Those combat rims are HEAVY!!!!!!!!! I would guess one rim and tire is approaching 200 lbs.. What did I get myself into?! Does anyone have a visual breakdown of one of those rims? They are different...

The rims that I have are stock M37 16 inch. I am aware that the hummer tires are 16.5 tapered bead. They are not staying on there and I am not replacing them. I have looked for reworked 16.5 rims for the M37 but have not found any so I am staying with stock 16" tires.

I am looking for modern tire sizing to replace the 900x16. I am picking up a M37 tomorrow and all it needs to drive is new tires. Comes complete with four standard rims and four combat rims with hummer tires on them. Yes, I know, wrong size. That is why I am looking for new tires. And yes, I am...

Same as the smaller engines. Get one of those light actuated tachometers that use a stick on reflective piece that you put on any rotating part (That is on the crankshaft like the crank pully or balancer) and then hold the light from the unit on it and it will give rpm. You will need access to...

28 volts is a normal charge rate for 24 volt systems. 30 volts is certainly not going to "take out" anything. It is only 2 volts over spec. What you need to do is get into the trouble tree and start from the beginning and follow the diagnosis steps to the letter. If you start skipping over...

Probably the only one out of the first group I would consider would be the last one and that is not really a parts unit if it runs and makes power. I am obviously further south than you think. I am 5.5 hours from your 4 hour picks. And that is the problem, with diesel at 4.50 a gallon and the...

Doesn't the shut down relay open with power and shut down when power is cut off? If that is the case and he has no relay at all how will he start it?
