FYI: New M37/PW Superwinch hubs $62 at Amazon.com

[Drew M.]

6-bolt 16 spline hubs for our power wagons/M37. I just ordered mine. Just passing on the info. as it it about 1/2 the cost of most places.

BTW: these are not as strong as the Warn type hubs. That is ok w/ me as I would want them to break before a frt axle and they come w/ a lifetime warranty - if things haven't changed since the last time I bought a set.

p/n 400508 should be correct for the M37 to the best of my knowledge

[Drew M.]

I wonder why the price doubled suddenly? Well, the getting was good while it lasted. I hope you ordered yours before the $ went up.

And, yes. The 400508 is the proper part # for the M37 regardless what their lousy parts match thingy said. According to it, the 400508 only fit 53-58 PWs. The hubs for the trucks stayed the same for 1943-1968 (til '78 for export). So, the info on the site is not accurate as it excludes many years.

Yes, when I went to the link you could by them from Amazon at $62. Right below it was another banner from a parts warehouse at $117? I got mine through at the Amazon price. My receipt is for $71 and change

[Drew M.]

I'm glad someone was else was able to enjoy the brief opportunity. It definitely was a "you snooze, you lose" situation.

[HingsingM37]

Yes, thank you for your post and letting us in on it.

I think I'd be suspect with a cost of half what normal places charge. Usually prices in the 40 to 50% off range indicate factory reconditioned or seconds.

I just checked the link and I too saw them for $117.00. Its says 2 new, and 2 used. Is that all they have? I think John Bizal is selling them for around $125.00 a set. Not sure if they are Superwinch though.

I purchased several pairs off Amazon this summer at the $60 some price... Brand new, in the box, looks just like the ones I used to get from Fred at Adirondack Parts for $90ish...

Volume and lack of warehousing speaks wonders for something like Amazon at times...

Don't know, but I wonder if this is the end of Super Winch hubs for the M37. You usually see things like this when the factory unloads all they have on hand with no intention of building any more. Guess time will tell.

[HingsingM37]

I got mine today. Brand new in box. Thanks again for the heads up on the deal while it lasted

[Drew M.]

I was ok with the longer shipping to avoid the shipping charge:) I paid $62 delivered to my door.

Amazon indicated they will get more of the hubs in the future months. Wait and see!

[JBizal]

My hub sets are $119. The price you saw on Amazon had to be a mistake. My cost is way higher than that and I buy factory direct.

Who knows? Apparently it has been that price for months according to a guy in on the G741. On the G741.org there has been some talk about this offer.

If the wholesale price is more than $62 - I would be finding out why the wholeseller was not keeping the min. MSRP as it hurts the retail business of everyone selling the hubs. A review of your sales contract may give you cause to contact an attorney and team up w/ other retailers to address this situation.

This situation may be like ~2000, when you could buy new individual M37/M35 windshield assemblies (glass/rubber/frame and hinge) retail directly from the manufacturer under $50 until the sale contracts either prohibited or enforced the manufacturer not doing further retail sales.

I meant no harm to your business as you have a great reputation and help those in the hobby - I spoke to the WC62 seller in Wilkes-Barre PA you gave good advice to years ago when he wanted to sell his truck and posted photos of it on your website (running, painted black, no w/s, wrong seats, and plastic can for gas tank). Also, you making the WC box ends (without dimples- (for now?)) will save many trucks from being parted out.

However, as no MV dealer sponsors this or Gordon's website, I did not feel constrained to post the hub info as it was just too good not to share with other M37 and PW owners.

I know how John feels, same thing happened to me with Mile Marker. I use to advertise Selectro Classic hubs at decent level and then everyone on the M-715 board would chime up and say that they could be bought from AutoZone at what was below my wholesale.
I complained though offical channels and biasically I was told that the BIG BOYS could pull this stunt due to buying power.
As a result, I do still sell the hubs but I do not waste my dollars advertising them.
I am not quite sure if you can buy them from Auto Zone anymore. Tom @ Snake River
