    Gama Goat -yes or no???

    I seen my share of goats, went for a ride in mud and hills, lots of fun. I didn't know the mileage was that low. I have an M37 now that hit 10mpg on a real good day. Just a stupid question, could the back trailer section be removed and driven with only the two axles, or would this effect the...

    New M37 owner From Pittsburgh!

    Not to sound silly, do you have the light switch in the correct position for lights? In Pa but on the other side. Check out the Gilbert rally, a bit of a ride, but I know some that travel further.

    M37: Them's the brakes; driving fun; future plans

    I bit the bullet and replaced each wheel cylinder, I can't recall the cost. I feel better knowing that it stops better. These trucks don't have the best stopping power, so every little bit helps.

    Marine Corps or Army M37?

    Most of what you said was missing is not easy to remove without leaving some sort of a trace. The paperclips on the front bumper is one. look for grind marks.

    I've got my M151A1 in the middle of a restore. Had it for years, needs a face lift. It too will look good next to my M37.

    Passenger Seat Back Removal

    I had the seats out of my M37cdn. You could see the 1/4' bar that goes from bracket to bracket on the top, the two humps are where the support brackets go. Then on the back of the cab I held a pointer at the bracket. I should have moved to the right to get both brackets in the picture. Hope...

    Tread of Mule

    I picked up a trailer for the mule. The fenders were 46" apart. I cut them to 50" at it still is close. When you come up the ramps it's better to have a little more room if you could get it. I'm going to cut a little more to make life easier. And yes we drove it up and down the ramps. The safety...
