There is, it reads something like: pull out throttle before fording, so it may have been part of the fording kit I dont recall.

"PULL OUT THROTTLE
WHEN FORDING"

I have ordered a full M37 kit from VPW based on referral from MW. My old says it in all cap.

ok , what data plate goes above the cold engine hand primer to the left of the colum?

I believe the data plate above the primer handle references the operation of the winch - no winch- no plate.

OR...

If you mean just above and slightly to the left of the engine primer knob, that is the Publications data plate.

TM 9-8030, Paragraph 7. Data, Caution, and Instruction Plates lists these. Often the important safety warnings are covered up or are gone. It's good to know them.

got the publication one, it must be the winch plate, looks like it is large, just wasn't sure if there was 1 for the primer pump
