Re: Check it out....M56 R2 Crash Truck (M37)

I'm the guy that bought it and the restoration is on it's way. We will try to bring it back to it's original glory. We've had it just about one week and have about 75% of the paint off and down to the primer. Did you land the M-56 or Carter's m-37? Either one is a good thing...... I scored the R2. ...

Re: M37 water truck

I just picked up an R2. Pretty lucky find. It's in pretty solid condition and the restoration has begun. I'm not able to post pictures from my iPad but will try to add from my pc later.

These trucks didn't carry water but did have a foam system.

Re: Help! I'm burning up coils.

Thanks Terry. The coiling lines are attached and I am going to use my compressor to blow them out. How did you install the resistor and where can I buy on? Could the capacitor cause overheating?

Help! I'm burning up coils.

I have an original M43 and I have been going through coils like water. At first it only happened if the ignition switch was left on with the engine off. Today I burned up 2 coils while driving the truck to a show. They went while the truck was traveling at 45 MPH. Is it possible that the capacitor i...
