    Water Purification unit

    The M-45A2 is just the military designation for a M-35 Cab Chassis only ( delivered from the factory with no bed/body on back ) to which the Military put their own body on it. The M-46A2 was a M-36A2 Cab Chassis only ( long wheelbase )

    Which rear axle likes to break ?

    I have no personal experence as my 37 was a trailer queen ;-) But everything I've read on this in the last 12 years is that the short shaft breaks easier then the long one as the long shaft has more give ( being longer it has more of a flex) to where the short has more shear force on it being...

    Wire feed welder (review I guess)

    well did not the M-35 start out with douglas then get switched to packard?, As I ( and Bruce ) mentioned earlier we had this discussion on Big E qiute a few years ago it even crossed over to Joe's PW site and there were a couple of guys who insisted that their 64-5 models had packard but I'll...

    M-37 vs M-37B1

    Bryan There were a couple guys on the old Big E site that had packard connectors on their 37's. I know years ago there were a couple of venders that advertised both. I bought a nos harness from RAPCO that was made in 1971 for my 37, it was douglas connectors but also had the plug in's for the...

    M-37 vs M-37B1

    "Bill, you beat me to my next post" Yeah my typing has inproved, I can now use two fingers when typing...as long as I don't chew gum at the same time :roll: I thought it was weird that my 54, M-37 had the drivers side spring spacers but no ( retro'd) door mount however having the spacers came in...

    M-37 vs M-37B1

    B1's got packards around 1963-4, B1's also had turn signals. I've read that Detroit went to a lower nickel higher iron type sheet metal in 1957 and this also affected the B1 production, however what I've seen of rusty B1's was more of bad ( post factory) painting/maintanence. A lot of early...

    002 vs 002a and 003 vs 003a GenSets

    I'm wondering out loud here but won't a 10kw running at half load burn less fuel than a 5kw running at full load!?!? Also with everything I've read on these gensets is that if you went with non mil specs these units are more like 7kw (002A) and 12kw(003A) units
