Re: Still around, new hobby, military radios!

Thank You for your reply and great info! I'll connect with them as soon as I have a minute. Maybe soon it will start snowing, and I can justify being inside.

It is as expensive as premium gas, but most of ours is a high octane premium grade ethenol free fuel, around 90 octane. Check though, because we also ...

Re: WTB ARCTIC Top For M-37 in AZ

Good luck Mark - I hope you can find one close, but they are getting very hard to find. I finally had a MVPA buddy in Washington State, pick me up one out of Canada, for my 51. He is helping me with getting it sandblasted, and rot replacement parts made in a fab shop up there that has helped him wit...

Re: M37 Seabees Picture

I think the word "Acquire" for the Seabees was "CumShaw" but I don't know if I have it spelled correctly. It seems the Seabees / CB's / Confused Ba--ards --- were not issued lots of vehicles, requiring them to cumshaw what they needed. Apparently they became quite efficient at it.

Re: M37 Seabees Picture

Thank You Gentlemen! The pictures sent by K8ICU are awesome. My friend was Seabee of the year following his first year in Vietnam, so all this is right on the money for him!

Re: playing with differentials

It takes a minute when inspecting parts to "Gain An Eye" for all the wear and failure modes a part can have. Now however, you can turn a "Splined Eye" to the side gears!

M37 Seabees Picture

I would very much like to find an original picture of a NAVY SEABEES M37 or M37B1. I have a Very Good Friend who is a Seabee and may not be with us for long. I'd like to know how an M37 should be marked to Honor him.
