Anyone have a link to a set of the correct manual hub locks for the 37 ?

I picked up a set of the AVM hubs from John at Midwest Military.

lovely.
Those are the smallest in design?
I remember another post there was this discussion.

I have Selectro Hubs on mine. They were on it when I got the truck, so unfortunately, I don't know the model number.

They are shown here with the metal guards also added by the previous owner (helpful when operating in the woods).

The long out of production Dual-Matic locking hubs are the strongest hubs ever made.

The old Warn M13 hub is of the classic design, also out of production.

If I was buying new hubs, I'd get Selectros.

I've been happy with my Selectro hubs.

I did notice that Charles at M-Series Rebuilds also makes some custom locking hubs to fit Power Wagon, M37, and WC 3/4 ton models.

Sometimes the stars align...
I just scored a set of Dual-Matic Hubs for the truck. I like the old "flatter" look as it seems to blend in with the age of the M. :wink:

A broken Dual-Matic is usually because only one arm was engaged and got in a tough situation.

Very possible here.. as you can see, the cracks are small. The whole thing didn't grenade into chunks..
in the top pic you can see just where the gear (at an angle) just caught the housing a little.
In the bottom pic you can see where the angle also cracked the steel bushing .

The gear itself looks fine with only a mark across a couple of the internal splines. No cuts or gouges at all.

A decent shop can make you a new bushing.

Welding that alloy casting is another matter.
