    New to me 1953 m37

    53Fox, used one just like it to pull my 53M37 behind my Jeep Wrangler (4-Door). It pulled fine, but I had to bring my own straps as the straps on that trailer wont fit over the dodge tires ... used the web straps with the hooks end and just hooked onto the trailer strap and snugged up over the...

    1/4 Ton SPEN Saved from the Scrapper

    Went to recover what I thought was a 1/4 Bantam 3-C in MD (Scrap) .. only to learn after I got it back to the ranch that it was a SPEN-S 1/4 Ton. Its in pretty good shape with at least 5 coats of paint which may be the reason that the body and frame is not rusted out .. Will have to do a little...

    Solar Pulse Charger

    Bert that's a good point ... Was thinking of moving the ground wire to the negative post on the cable that runs to ground from the battery box. that would ensure a ground to the frame and I was thinking that my current ground location is not truly going to the frame because of the body's rubber...

    Solar Pulse Charger

    I picked up one of those Pulse Solar Chargers here on SS for 24 and 12 systems. It’s a great looking outfit with a good size solar panel, robust wiring, test box, control box with circuit breakers etc. Instructions are very generic and I installed it in my M37 based on the instructions with...
