Hey Brent, try Premier Tire Terminal or TDS. They are located in Denver but also may have sites in Springs. The wheel you are using on the M101 and M101A1 are the Budd Five Hole rim used on the M37. There are no substitutes unless you get a custom made wheel. The best size is of course 9.00-16...
I also, have used a combination for years, without a single hiccup. Incredibly strong. I have both a 2" and a 1 7/8" ball for mine. I have a multi position plate that is part of the 2 inch square bar for the 2 inch receiver on the Cummins hitch. I have rarely used the 2" inch ball and never the...
One more thing to add. Some local police departments and a few County Sherrifs offices have begun to charge a fee for a LIO to show up at your location.

VIN inspections can be done by both local police and county sherrifs departments. A certified VIN inspection for a Bonded Title requires a certified and trained inspector. These had been exclusively State Patrol, but after enormous lines and being deluged with inspections they began certifying...
39.5" shouldn't be too tall. I have had 42.4" 9.00-20 Firestones on my 4x4 and they ran great. I now have 11.00-16 Michelins on both the 4X4 and the M37 6X6 and they are right 38.5 inches tall. There are tubless 16 inch wheels available for around 140 apiece but getting hold of the fellow who...
Pull the floor pan and remove the shift tower with the transmission in neutral. Is this a US version style transmission. If it is, it is only synchro'd in 3rd and 4th gears. Sometimes the shift towers get bolted down with out having the forks over the tangs correctly. If you keep trying to work...
If you get the chance I'd be interested in a Flat Rate USPS box full of them. I'm building a biodiesel processing plant right now and these would work super as a preliminary filter for either the initial WVO or the washed bio. I'm halfway finished with the build out and plan on processing about...
Maybe it's climate. Here in the southwest, neither series rusts much. I can't remember there being any version rusting more in the almost 30 M37 series I've owned. Because of the few small upgrades in the trucks, I prefer the B1 series.

When you mention early early, I' guessing you mean something like a prototype transmission or a shelf transmission that would have been used for the intial vehicle submissions for approval. Very possible, maybe even a spur gear type as used in the Power Wagons and WC's. I'll look through...
No clicking unless the drum is in motion, and only unwinding. I'll bet that little wiper is catching on something. The shift lever goes over a 90 degree angled pin that can be adjusted in and out on the shift shift shaft going into the pto. The shift lever should have a short oblong groove...
That's a good one. The transmissions (US style) are interchangeable. The cases as far as styles are different slightly. The internals are completely different between them. Its possible the PTO mounting location is shifted slightly between them, although I have in working on both styles these...
The test for air shift is pretty much the same for spraq units. Jack up one tire and with the switch indicating Locked In, see if the one tire off of the ground will turn more than about 45 degrees. There will always be some play. If it turns without locking up at all, then the tranfsercase...
There are inverters and converters and also voltage reducers. This is rule of thumb, so if you get a wire crossed with these comments no flames please. Inverters are generally used to describe a device that changes a source from one frequency to another and most often output voltages, such as DC...
Arlyn, you towed that monster trailer with the little Bronco you brought up to the house? Poor little Bronco, that might constitute Bronco abuse :lol: . Thanks for both of you having a good enough time to share the picture of the fun with us. Don't let the "Perfect Ones" weigh you down with...
Bubba, check out the winch set up carefully. A good clean complete winch set up is worth 1,500 to 1,750 these days. That means winch, PTO, drive shaft, shift lever, bumper halves, extensions, and mounting brackets. These are becoming scarce as hen's teeth. Check the driveshafts front and rear...
How old is his wench? Is she attractive and ameniable and willing? Does she come with satisfaction guaranty?
A running 230 is always nice. A good winch with PTO is very valuable. It's probably best you PM me this chaps phone number and address so I can set him straight and make sure he isn't...
I was never that much into pics. I did take these back about 11 years ago doing one of the many trucks I have done over the 20 plus years I've tinkered with them. I'm not sure if the dates can be seen on the pictures the camera printed. As I recall, the engine in this was locked up. It was a...
