I got a couple of meters from them recently for my PE95K and they have lots of parts for all types of gensets
A switch on top would seem to indicate a regular 24V M37 starter. Maybe the alt. is 24 and not 12V. you might see what voltage the alt. produces by taking it to a auto parts store that tests alternators and starters and have them spin it and see what it generates.
You could also check the coil...
I would guess the entire elec. system has been converted to 12V, fairly common on trucks used by forestry and community fire departments. Does the truck have a push-to-start pedal or is it a key or push button switch system. Does the starter have a data plate, military 24V starters have "Starter...
Does it have the orig. military distributor? If so, is there a coil mounted outside of it or is the coil still inside. If outside it's most likely a 12V conversion ign. system but if the coil is still in the dist. it's likely to be all 24V. Some 12V conversions did have a military 12V coil in...

Try post some pix, that will help ID it.
Does what you have look like this one?
I checked with NAPA a couple of years ago and was told none were available, I guess that may have changed, but at that time none were listed that were a bolt on replacement and welding would be required if bolt flanges were to be added so I ordered one from Memphis Equipment who had NOS ones in...
The article "Dodge M880/890" by David Ahl in Military Vehicle Magazine, May/June 2000, page 28 states "All the vehicle circuts go through the ammeter, and when (not if) it blows, everything stops dead."
This same thing happened to my M882 and after replacing the meter I used a 12 ga. jumper...
Any ideas where I can get them? I've tried Saturn Surplus, Colemans and Fair Radio with no luck. The set runs and makes full voltage and amps but the meters are dead and would like to replace them. Help needed. Thanks for looking. Carter
Got them from Delk's Surplus Sales, Asheboro N.C...
I used xylene to soak the carb, pump, lines and tank which softened all the brown gasoline tar goop then blew everything out with air and now have it all reassembled and running smoothly. Didn't try MMO because I had none on hand but did have xylene and it worked well with no damage to...
I ordered a complete new control box from Army Surplus Warehouse and installed it as the price for new was about double what a reostat would have cost including shipping and I got all new control parts, wiring ect. Seemed worth it to me to have all new. Works great now, 28.5 vdc and adjustable...
Looks like the orig. 24 volt generator and the fan belt have been replaced with non standard parts also it has civ. plugs and wires. Is it 12 volt? 2K sounds about right.

I have never seen an orig. M37 with a rear mounted winch. I believe it was added after leaving the Dodge factory. More information about M37s is available at this site, several members are also from Spain...
