I am pretty sure Vintage Power Wagins has the bumpers and all the other parts you need to fix you winch He has the bumpers, the frame extensions, the gussets, the brackets the whole thing. You can ask him to give you a list of everything you need.

[QU Here is a picture of the data plate with the winch. Is for a B1 but they are both the same.

Here are a few sites to check out. Vintage Power Wagan - says he has the left winch bumper, and most of the mounting parts. He even makes the frame extensions if you need them. They run $150 a set which sound high but if you fine some original parts they would cost much more. Midwest...

You should check the pictures on this site. You should be able to get some good pictures of a correct winch. Unfortunately I have an M37B1, an M43 and an R2 all with winches but I don't have any good pictures on this site.

I know the marines did some crazy things. I saw some of the equipment they had in Vietnam. I don't think these changes were done by the corps. I think some guy had the truck and jerry riged it to the truck. The original winch is pto driven. I'm not sure you will get a warn winch to hook up. I...

Welcome to the disease. First off the tires are available in several tire companies even the big names like Firestone. I can't think of the names but I've bought them for my M170 jeep and saw several choices for the M37. If you have military shows in your area, that's a good place to find tires...

Thanks for the help jbayer. The older I get the more I forget. It's nice to have places like this to help an old man remember. Jim

In restoring my R2 I found a NOS Justrite lantern. I came with a couple of wires. It doesn't have a battery and almost looks like it would use that large square battery that is used in modern lanterns but it doesn't seem to have the contacts. If anyone has the instructions or can tell me how you...

Thanks. I look forward to the info. Jim

I purchased an NOS two pin NATO slave plug without the battery cables attached. Can any one direct me to where I may find instructions on how to connect the wires? thanks Jim.

Does anyone know thw purpose of the "Center of Grativy" line on the side of the R2. I'm pretty sure they were original because I found them under the old paint on my truck when I painted it. Thanks, Jim.

I'm having an issue with the carb on my M43. I had my carb rebuilt by a guy who has done many with no problems. When I put It on my truck the truck starts right up and runs for about twenty minutes then floods out. It happens when I just let the engine idle or if I'm driving it. I got another...
