I've drug in M37s from all over the country, they don't flat tow well at all. Use a good dual axle trailer, rollback, or just drive it. They don't go fast enought to need much brakes anyway.

        Will be picking up an M37 next week. Runs well, but owner claims it has a
        leaking/sticking let front wheel cylinder that causes a horrendous pull to
        left when the brakes are applied. This seems to preclude driving it home,
        about 70 miles.
            What are the widest outside dimensions (outside wheel to outside wheel)?
            Weight of the M37 is about 5700 lbs?
            Anybody have experience flat towing one of these behind a 1 ton van
        (8700lb GVWR) with a mil tow bar?
            How about experience using a Uhaul car trailer or tow dolly to move an
        M37?
            TIA, Ron
