    What have you done to your M-37 lately?

    5 Tons Tow Easy

    NoPICTURES for this one but had to tow bar an M54 today with my M818. Used a heavy tow bar to drag the M54 about 10 miles. The M54 tracked perfectly even through some very tight turns with no one in the cab. No sliding or skidding of the front wheels at all. The real surprise was that the...
