Adam,

First, you need two URL's. The M-37 netzine with a fantastic forum is at http://www.echomultimedia.com/M37/index.html

Then you need the unofficial M-37 home page at http://home.mainsite.com/lathrrs/

These two pages will teach you more in ten minutes than anything except owning one.

What else do you wanna know? They have marginal brakes when they are in good working order. They make all of 98 hp in tip top shape. Top speed in stock form is 55 mph and that is NOT recomended for continuous usage (some argue 55 is not safe ANYTIME in these old trucks...). Everything about them is bulletproof except the axles, and they are fine if you don't run oversized tires, lockers, or more horsepower. Parts are expensive, advice is cheep, and you either get lots of admiration or derision when you drive one around (usually depends on if the observer(s) are ahead of you or following you...).

It's a love/hate relationship with me, I love it, my wife hates it. "Course with two old trucks to work on I don't have time for much else...I gotta sell that cornbinder...

Good luck and welcome to the family

John
