    M101A1 or M101A2?

    I found someone that has a M101A2 trailer and I've paid a deposit on it. Later he told me that he has a M101A1 trailer at his farm and that is uses the same wheels as my M-37 and he's offered it to me instead of the M101A2 for the same price. The A2 was made in 1986 IIRC and uses 8 bolt wheels...

    What's a Miller Matic 35 worth?

    Like the title says, what is a Miller Matic 35 MIG welder worth? Including a full tank of 25/75 CO2/Argon, regulator, hoses, etc. Tank is about 4 1/2 feet tall but I don't know how many cu ft that is. Is there anything on one of these that I should watch out for? I'm looking at one but there's...

    What's this for? Ladder

    Does anyone know what the ladder in the (hopefully!) attached photos is for? It has four steps and is just over 5 foot tall when collapsed and appears to be designed to attach to a point approximately 46" above the ground. As you can see in the photos it's too tall for my M37 and has the wrong...

    GI Ignition switch lock

    There's an M37 on E-bay that has a lock plate for the ignition switch (picture attached). Anybody have plans for one of these or, better yet, have a spare one? I know they're probably not hard to make IF you have a way of riveting them together and to the dash! Do they have a cutout in them so...

    Shackles on USMC modified M37?

    My 1951 M37 has the USMC type rear light guards that also relocate the lifting shackles to the outside rear corners but does not have the "paper clips" on the front bumper. Has anyone ever seen this before? I was TOLD that this M37 originally belonged to the US Navy and was later transferred to...

    Any way to touch up or repaint data-plates?

    Hi, I have the original data plates in my M37 but they look like someone cleaned them with steel wool and a lot of the black paint is gone. The stampings are still clearly legible but hard to read against a silver (aluminium) background. Anyone have any idea of how I can restore the black...

    Prepunched holes in M37?

    My M37 has large pre-punched holes in it. One on the dash and just to the left of the glove box and another on the left cowling just in front of the drivers door and just below the window. Anybody know what these were for?

    Labels for vent and choke controls?

    Did the USA or anyone else ever put screw on labels on the dash of the M37s for the choke and vent controls? Mine has four holes arranged in rectangle above each control and their pattern is just about the same size as the label above the throttle control.

    seat belt and turn signal required in '51 M37?

    Anybody know what Fla requires as far as seat belts and/or turn signals on a '51 M37? It used to be that they weren't required if your vehicle was pre '67 but I don't know if that's still true, particularly since they now require that you WEAR seat belts. Can anyone give me a quick run down on...
