Man that hurts :cry:

A few years back Dave Butler from "Vintage Power Wagons" brought back quite a few of these vehicles from ( if I remember right ) Greece or Turkey. I know a Frenchman who is ex Foriegn Legion and they used these vehicles extensively, in fact the truck silhouette was part of their unit patch

Its a M-601 also known as a "Special Dodge Power Wagon Truck", these were part of the Goverments Post WWII Military assistance Program ( M.A.P.) to help friendly nations with mil vehicles. Its bacicly a 1950's Dodge Power Wagon ( T137 ) fitted with a military body. The Operators TM I have for...

On post WWII vehicles the point of the star faced forward ( as shown in Majors picture )

Also take note in Steels attachment that the hood star should be far enough forward on the hood that it can still be clearly seen with the windshield folded down

As oldfart stated theres a 1/8" threaded plug over #6 cyl which is there fore that purpose ( checking tdc ), when #1 is at tdc compression stroke then #6 will be at tdc of its exhaust stroke. Also remember the ( military ) dist shaft slot is offset and can only go into the oil pump one way...

If your not trying to be period correct than a mil 60amp alt will bolt right up inplace of the old generator and the pulley of the 25amp will fit right on the 60amp, doing this sure clears up alot of crap under the hood

If I remember correctly the only difference I have heard is that a true M-37 rack won't have the drilled holes on the sides that are for mounting brackets ( like the M-35 ). Also remember to use 3/8"spacer/washers on the 4 mounting bolts between the back of the rack and the tailgate as the rack...

There is a close up in the link of my previous post (#5) and thats all I can offer being my 37 is long gone....sniff :sad:

Yep thats it I sent specs to another member who than made that diagram up on a cad ?? I think the bend angle for the tube is backward, I have the correct one here somewhere, I'll post it if I find it

Came across this today in my local Craigs list, thought it pretty cool 1999 KM-412. From what I read its a knockoff of the M-151 so I posted it here

Here we go This is a repro one I bought years ago from Mid west Mil. Its funny I was just talking to my son yesterday about missed deals that I passed in life and one was a original M-201 spotlight mount that I had in my hand but I passed on it as I thought $100 was to much aua On edit some...

:funny:

My screws broke when I tried to remove the hinge so I unbent the little tab on the end of the pivot , extended the winshield all the way up and I was able to just slide them off the hinge plate (example below ) now I tried this on another M-37 that I was painting and was only able to get only...

The electronics in your house that have transisters are pretty much toast but things like incadescent lights, stoves, fans and well pumps should be fine. My 1955 RCA Hi Fi will also be fine as its a tube type radio. Next on my list is a faraday box with its own ground rod also, gonna use a...

Heres mine ( pictured with optional signal booster )

Thanks big red I should have stated that it would be for a stored genset but I "thought" that would have been a given, so my apoligies to steelandcanvas if I confused him. My understanding also is if its grounded at both sides of a circuit then the pulse won't "jump" ( for lack of education )...

OK I read in a past post ( which I can't find again ) about hardening the genset by grounding/tieing all the power output lugs together ( LO,L1,L2,L3) and keep the master switch on and also have the unit hooked to a ground rod that is seperate from the house/barn power supply ground rods. Did I...
