    Speed of the M37

    ZAK~ Is that two pounds of lead on your rear wheel or is your truck just happy to see me? :wink: When I switched from the bias 9.00-16's to the radial 11.00-16's, there was a huge difference in the quality of ride (45 to 50 MPH) and with no wheel weights to speak of. :shock: I was...

    Ignition troubles

    acetomatoco~ I always carry a bit of emery cloth in my too box so that is what I had used. Good to know about the aluminum oxide abrasive though. Emery has always been my sand paper of choice. You can get it in bulk on eBay prety reasonably. I am set for about the next 10 or 12 years.

    How much did they cost new?

    On that note, I heard an interesting story telling of the woes of going off the silver standard of our coins in 1964 and the devaluation of our currency. In 1964, one legal United States silver dollar bought four gallons of gasoline. In 2007, the silver value of one legal United States silver...

    Over charging M37

    Over charging? When mine is in the red, there is no charging and you are running off the battery only? Is the red on the right? See the photo of my gauge.
