    M35a2 electrical gremlin

    That's a great charger. My truck is a 24V but I have to charger each battery individually. According to the gauge in the truck they were charging, but I may have to go to Napa and buy a pair of new batteries.

    M35a2 electrical gremlin

    Thanks guys. Have my charger on them while I'm at work. Gauge on the charger showed 70% and 11.9 volts on the batteries when I left. Will see what happens tonight. Where do I find the star solenoid? Also mine has the spring switch not the push button if that makes a difference. It's an 87.

    Tire tube change questions

    It was a good example to my 7 year old son about perseverance. Granted my doctor saw me at church yesterday and thinks I may have given myself a minor concussion. I just thought I felt a tad dizzy from being dehydrated. But I got those tires to cooperate!

    What engines will fit in an M37?

    Hello gents, My buddy just picked up a well used m37 with a seized engine. His goal is to get it where it will reliably putt around the farm and help with some chores. What engine should he replace it with if we can't find a 230?
