The biggest problem that I can see is that the winch mount and surrounding frame must all be capable of taking the maximum load that the winch can produce. AND if you run the winch cable trough a block and reverse it's direction then the entire frame from the block to the winch must be able to...

LOL! That's funny as **** but it's also absolutely true! Been there, done that, and it get's results!

It's a shame that the data plates are missing. But you can get the SN from the frame. Also get the title if they have it AND get a bill of sale even if you do get the title. My DMV wouldn't take just a signed over title and I had a fight with the seller to get a BOS after the sale.

You bet! Just let me know when.

dk, The winch, it's drive train and unique bumper parts alone is worth $1000 to $1500 on E-greed. Other rare goodies include the stakes for the bed sides, good tailgates, the top bows, troop seats, the jump seat* and spare tire mount* and combat wheels. There are two types of tire mounts one...

nopics I'm surprised no one beat me to it!

See my posting dated 2 days ago in the scrap yard section about the guy on N OBT in Orlando that has various MVs for sale. He has a seized engine that he replaced in a deuce and you might be able to buy the generator off of it. I'm not sure what engine was in it or if the generator is the same...

I just looked and they're now $215.95 plus shipping. Up almost $5 in one afternoon! :-(

Does anyone have a good way to remove flaking paint and leave the layers below intact? I picked up a bridge plate today that was originally painted bright yellow. It has a layer of black paint and then a layer of green paint on top and they're both flaking off. I'd like to remove them and keep...

I went out to look at an M-37 this morning and found that the seller also has loads of MVs including M-35s, CUCVs, many types of trailers, some 60 KW generators and even a military forklift! It's not really a scrap yeard, it's actually a truck repair business but he appears to buy a lot of...

Oh for crying out loud! It's NOT a gin-pole! A gin-pole uses a single pole. This is an A-frame. See TM 5-725 'Rigging' for a description of these and other lifting devices. See E-bay item number 130486077013 for a copy of the manual for the A-frame of the M-37. They also make one for the Deuce...

The M-37 is highly regarded as an off road vehicle. Except for special designed and built vehicles such as Pinzgauzers and Unimogs, there's few that can match it. On the road it's a different story. It's a lot like a Deuce but smaller. Top speed 45 MPH with poor braking and handling, manual...

papabear. I talked to a vendor at the MVPA show in Ocala weekend before last that has four M-37s including his parts vehicles. Was that you?

That's an important point! Even when using a single sheave block, the block will be carrying double the stress that the rope does. If you use a two sheave block then the load on the block is even higher. The angle between the incoming and outgoing line also affects the load on the block. The...

Correction: I need a good source for GOOD wire rope... The cheap imported stuff is un-rated, or worse, OVER-rated and will get you killed! There's lots of imported Indian and Chinese rope available but I won't touch the stuff! I use only GOOD American or other reliable first-world produced...

Congradulations! I hope you get it. I bought my first M-37 (from Craigslist) last year. I think $1k is more than a fair price for the scrap yard. They obviously don't put much value on them since they crushed the other one. Oh and BTW, the ALL ran at one time! So don't take their suggestion that...

LOL! But it must have been too early. No one tried to stuff money into his pants! :shock:

Mike #2. Yeah I realized that I credited the MKT to the wrong person after I posted the message. BTW you can get in the way in my kitchen any time you want! You and Wayne did a great job with the food. I ate better there than I do at home! Thanks for coming all the way from SC to help out. Your...

I was quoted "about $150/gal" in central Florida. I didn't buy any so I don't know if that price was realistic or not.
