John Winslow will have one for sure, as will White Owl. Check also with AMGeneral as he might have one in the back, but I know that he has been cleaning up the yard recently.
I've got a couple from a M37 in the yard, but none from a M35 so I can't be or direct help.
Good luck.
I'll be convoying down from Raleigh with Amnon and Evan (blazer and Unimog) to Zebulon where we will join up with Kenneth and Neil.
From Zebulon, we'll convoy over to Wilson and will hook up with everyone else so that we can make a big splash when we arrive at the airport.
I'm in Kalamazoo...
RE: customer notified (paid in full invoice) 3577
My EUC stutus changed to "Sent to Battle Creek" on 9/17... Longer time to review that I have had for the entire process on all my previous submittals (with the exception for the first one). Now, to wait on the black hole...

I talked to Steve about this truck a month ago... He said that it was making a clunking noise in the rear end when he last drove it (about a year ago) and that he didn't know if it was driveshaft related (u-joint) or in one of the differentials. He said that he didn't need it for work...

I had an email from Aaron on Monday saying that my EUC was incomplete and that I needed to sign and return (fax ok) an export letter. Funny thing is that I've had one of those on file for a year or so and was under the impression that that was a one time only piece of paperwork, and I've had...
There are several types of self locking bolts/nuts currently on the market. Many of the ones that ship with replacement u-joint clips are of the type that has a threadlocking compound (Locktite) aready applied to some of the threads. Others are of a type that has slightly deformed thread...
Re: RE: M37 Hardtop
On the top of the window frame there are two clips that are used to secure the canvas straps that keep the soft top from drooping, these will have to be cut off...
The modified CCKW top came with spacers to make it fit to the cab (if you have one of these, they are most...
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Which oil do you use?
Used to run Castrol Agri 15w-40 but then they went up in price from being a buck less a gallon than Rotella to being a dollar more. I'm running Rotella now...
I use a lot of Warren products elsewhere and have studied the specs on thier 15w40 enough...
MEK works well for removing the paint marker off CARC. In my area, they are using a GP-X marker to apply the numbers (and the imfamous "don't run" on the doors of one rig I purchased...). 3M Adhesive remover works well for pulling the glue residue off (and the sticer themselves for that...
I've run them, with a fully loaded trailer, at 50psi, for many a mile at 75mph behind my Cummins powered M37 without any problems...
You're talking more money than folks in my area charge, but then, I'd be doing them myself anyway... Procedure to mount/demount is the same as for a deuce tire...
Have you just tried the M37/Power Wagon vendors or have you included ones for general 4x4 parts in your quest? Reason that I ask is that the Lockrite model used on these trucks isn't specific to military units, just to the particular Dodge axle used. Anyone who is a Powetrax dealer can get...
RE: Thanks for all the help so far....
Any tire will require a tube in the stock wheel as it is not airtight. You also need a flap. The McCreary (the company actually is Specialty Tire of America) is a great tire, and is of the correct type/specifications.
You can reuse the tube/flap that...
The five lug Budd wheel used on the M101/M101A1 is a 6.50Hx16 semi drop center Budd with a GY-LTS lock ring... I have the engineering drawing for it on my website (along with lug nut, lug studd, and other info from a Budd Catalog and from a Tire and Rim Association Yearbook.
The M101A2 (the...
Yep, purchased several items and have been waiting for the update and got the same response when I called today...
We'll have to see what tommorow brings...
Don't forget that on a M101 or M101A1 (not sure about the A2's) that the hub on the "driver's" side/street side/left depending on how you want to call it will have left hand threads... Unless somebody has changed the studs...
Meanwhile, any of the tires that I have listed on my site for use...
Re: RE: Re: RE: Cummins WMO mix
Good to hear. My rigs all tend to blow a black (vs blue) cloud on startup, and will idle a little darker than before and then puff a bit on the first romp of the pedel after an extended idle, but otherwise, you can't tell a difference. Running down the...
RE: Re: RE: Cummins WMO mix
Hmmm, didn't compage filtering WMO between the two systems as I was not doing it at the time, but in checking up on things beforehand, I found that some folks in my area using spin on filters went through one every 15 gallons with the WVO that they had (and of...
