    What is the Engine in my M37??

    The radiator looks correct , once it's moved forward it should be ok . If memory serves me ??? I think there is a change in the hood length or sheet metal on CMP vehicles to accommodate the 251 engine ,not sure about that . just so you know 230 engines are pretty common still , so if you...

    What is the Engine in my M37??

    Looks like somebody in the past installed a 251 instead of the 230 . It's missing a lot of the military items you would expect to see . No big deal , just work with what you have . The radiator is moved forward on the 251 so there is room for the fan shroud . Is your MV converted to 12 volt ...

    M37 Winch ID

    This is what should be on your M37 , along with the winch bumper's . If the PTO is correct , you need a winch and probably a winch drive shaft . They come up for sale fairly often , bumper ends are rare . If you need any pictures I can do that . The M37 is a great vehicle to restore , lots of...

    Seabee forklift

    In the OLDEN days, before BIG BOX parts stores , it was pretty much a MOM AND POP BUSINESS , with the parts counter up front and a machine shop out back .

    Ownership Costs - Reality

    You will need a CDL with air brake endorsement to operate it , unless you can get some kind of FMV plate in your state . Also check on insurance for a 5 ton , again all over the map depending on how it is REGED . I know it has been said many times but download the TM's on this site especially...

    2017 MVPA International Convention in Cleveland, Ohio June 21-24

    Did not see any CCKW'S but there was a DUCK hoisting a Jeep . I missed the OUTSIDE sales , you can get some deals , but overall a good show . At the Barbecue Auction we sat next to the two gamers that were representing "The World Of Tanks" game , interesting conversation with them for sure !

    Reproduction fuel tank installed. Very happy

    I used the same tank from John on my Mule for the same reasons LOL !!! The tank is a deal , I did have to enlarge the slots a bit , but is a nice bolt in fix for those leaky Mule gas tanks . I look at it as it saved me a BUNCH of fitting and fiddling around with a used tank .

    Well another LVT-4 gets to come back to life...

    Considering that it was sitting in a field by the old steel plant in WNY for YEARS it sounds and looks pretty good . They didn't get used much , just some in the winter to break ice in the river in winter . And yes they are BIG in person , the top of the track has got to be 6-7 Feet off the...
