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....

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.

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
