How Much Does an M37 Weigh ???

Post by w30bob »

Well....I may have possibly found a girlfriend for my M but I have to travel quite a distance to pick it up. I'm looking into renting a U-Haul auto transport (car trailer) and it has a weight limit of 5290 lbs for the vehicle. Anybody know what a plain (non-winch M37) weighs??

thanks,
bob

Bob,
Lots of folks have used the U haul trailers to get theirs home. I have retrieved 2 M37's one almost 400 miles away. I rented a bobcat trailer from sunbelt rentals both times. The U haul trailer has 2 3500# axles, and the bobcat trailer I rented had 2 6000# axles, and also cost less than the U haul.

I think Carter has a secret library of all the data on all the Military vehicles ever made.
Just my suspicion anyhow.... :wink:

Well, not everyone but a lot of them, mechanical mules, Jeeps and trucks to M60 tanks, generators, air compressors, test equipment and even one on coating systems for lenses used in military optics.

The answer to the question is simple. Too Much!

GOOD MORNING,
I used a U HAUL trailer to get my M 5 years ago. U HAUL has two or three different car trailers, mke sure you get the biggest one. I picked my M up in rural Vermont and brought it back over hill and dale, to nyc, ABOUT 350 MILES. The trailer was fine,
GOOD LUCK
BOB
