Forgot the pics.

Pre lube with something, soap and water, WD-40 and let it soak in. That way it is easier to wire brush the lock rings and grove in the rim. I always clean that up as it get's stuff built up in the groove and the ring may not want to re seat. The proper tools make the job easier but you can use...

Oh Crap!!! That's getting changed this week. Thanks.[thumbzup]

It sounds to me from what MG said that the line pull rating for the 2.5 GarWood is rated 10000 but that's on the full drum. On an empty drum it gets even more capable. And don't get me wrong guys I like the PTO winches. I have an LU-4 on my M-37 and a Ramsey 8000 on my 66 Chevy 3/4 ton 4X4...

Those are the right accessories. I don't think I would add much other than to say you can add insulation to the hard cab. Like Dynamat or something like it. You can also fill up the iside of the doors with spray foam and dynamt the back of the cab. But for me if I want to have all the modern...

There you go. Pay one of the neighbor kids five bucks to turn it back and fourth for a couple hours. That ought to git er done.

We put flappers on the Allis Chalmers WC's and the John Deere 620. I got tired of chasing after the soup and coffee cans out in the hay field. Those AC's would shoot that soup can about 50 feet straight up. Then the wind would catch it. Bye bye. I tried to teach the dogs to retrieve it but no...

The other problem is that the 915 is a 55 MPH truck if I understand correctly. Most guys run taller tires to get more road speed. If you go smaller you might make it into a 50 MPH truck.

Thanks GR. I was wondering what was the biggest spare I could run without too much trouble. That solves that question. I too run the thimbles on the rear but behind the wheel with the lug nut on the thimble. Is that wrong? It has been fine for over a year on the truck.

Dude......Good for you not breaking any axle ever out of an M-37. I'm telling you that the axle shafts WERE made with grey iron. They were not made with ductile iron. Ductile iron is higher in nickle content and therefore much stronger. Most modern, post 1970 cast iron pieces are made with...

Nice MONSTER!!!!! What size spare you runnin if I might ask?

How well do the winches work? Nice trucks BTW and some good prices for good trucks.

That's what they are desinged to do well. M-105 trailers do well behind the deuce off road. Get a hard cab truck with the hot water from the engine personel heater. The arctic ,fuel powered, heaters are awesome but.......You can also get the newer vinyl "soft" top for the cab that is insulated...

They do sell nice trucks for sure.......But NONE of them are problem free. They are not new and do not have a warranty. I have a 2009 Dodge pickup with 30,000 miles and it has not been problem free. My MV's have been fairly trouble free but I have had some small problems. Now granted NONE of my...

All good points MG. And I'm sure the breakage problems and failures have a lot to do with the age of the winch and cable rather than original equipment capability. Line speed is a very good point. And no recharging. So the GarWood 10,000 sounds like it is underated rather than the Braiden LU-4...

M-813 5 ton is a totally different animal than an M-35A2 or A3. It looks similar sheet metal wise and shares the same cab but the truck is physically much bigger and heavier. Just do a ton of research and don't get in a hurry to buy a truck. You will discover the truck type that is right for you...

I have not been too close to the M35A3's but here is what I have heard. As GR said the CTIS system is a PIA. You end up spending more time waiting for your tires to reinflate than you do going somewhere unless the trip is a long one. Also this promotes flat spots in the Steel Belted radials...

So it sounds like GAA is far superior to anything we can buy at the store/WallyWorld or at the implement dealer. I usually buy my lubes from John Deere because I run their equipment and it seems to be higher quality than what I get from WallyWorld. So if GAA is the stuff and a one size, mostly...

It's OK. The guy sold it to us for parts. It looks good at 50 feet but there is some rust on the top drip edge, inside the box where the heater ducts are, on the cab corner And it's dented here and there and on the rear doors. Really not too bad for nowdays. I just remeber when we could find...

Just my humble opinion without seeing the truck in person. The 6.9 is a good motor but a tad on the non powerful side. Which is good because the M-37 rear axles are weak. They were made with a "grey" iron cast iron. The 6.9's like the 6.2 GM's have glow plugs and have problems starting if the...
