    22.5 Rims on deuce

    I cannot find the Isuzu 22.5" wheels. Have you found them or any other Budd that fits the 6x8.75"? Someone mentioned the M105A3 wheels for the front, so I'm looking for some. I can get a tire with some "float" for steer then. They are supposed to be 10" wide.

    M105A3 rims wtb

    A person contacted me on FB that has the A3, 22.5 rims and tires for sale. The tires look very nice and are Goodyear G186 tire size 10R22.5. I do not need the tires. They are 2002 date and don't appear to have any cracking. Is anyone with an A3 or semi trailer using 22.5 need these tires...

    M105 Value

    I'm quite happy with my 1101 welding trailer mod. And the rig was repurposed too.

    M105 Value

    Brakes, height and ring limit their (A1 and A2) usefulness. Might bring more for the parts if you're patient. The A3 with surge has solved one issue, brakes, and the height is not quite as bad. I have the Isuzu 19.5 duals that lowers to 30" and just stays under the 8'6". My last purchase was...

    Sent you my contact info in a message. Edit...after looking at the date, they are probably long gone. Oh well.

    Free to a Good Home!!! Wheels

    I need them for the trailer I built out of my M35 bed. They fit the 8 lug Dexter axles I used. I've needed 2 more a long time.

    Air ride suspension

    I would not go full air bag. I'd use springs (lighter and different mounting) and air bags for load adjustment.

    making dump truck

    We have a company that makes roll off containers using a lot of steel seconds but has hit a wall for orders (none). I have the idea of making a conversion for a 931 or 923 that looks like the bed of a 929 and is a complete unit that is ready to set on the frame, a lot like the existing bed...

    M35A3- Changed transmission fluid now won't move?

    What did you find when you dropped the pan and filter? Was there a gritty feeling to the fluid or little aluminum balls in the old fluid? The clutches in these tranny's, particular 4th/reverse have old seals that leak and won't hold pressure on the clutch, then the slippage causes heat and can...

    Compatible transmissions for the M35a3 with the cat 3116

    Somebody made the comment on FB that the FS 5306 a could be made overdrive with gear changes. Anyone confirm that ?

    Compatible transmissions for the M35a3 with the cat 3116

    Boneyard has a C6500 with a Cat 3116 and FS 5306A but not FSO 6406a (overdrive) Eaton-Fuller. So I will try to buy the flywheel, clutch, housing and continue search for the FSO (overdrive).

    Compatible transmissions for the M35a3 with the cat 3116

    I'm bringing this up to see the current thoughts on going to a Spicer 3053 in my 4x4 M35A3 project for it's high final gear. All 4 brake cylinders are 1 1/2" on the 50/50 system, so brakes are not an issue. 395 GY rated to 65 mph. Anyone have low mile Spicer?

    Rubber coating for parts near battery?

    Use a sheet of plastic or good foam. I had one that had arced a lot. But it won't go through plastic. Bed spray for the coating.

    Soft top from scratch

    Thanks. It happened about the time I stopped in this thread, so has had some recovery. I refuse not to use it. Arthritis is bad. I did get the A3 on the axle as the above photo shows.

    Soft top from scratch

    The top project stalled. While plating the frame of my M35A3 project with a 10' long 11"x3"x1/4", the brace I had holding the sheet near in place shifted and the sheet tried to remove my right thumb, up against the rear tire. It crushed as I ripped out.... but saved the thumb. The A3 project...

    Gears again

    What is the latest on gears for the deuce to bring it to safe highway speed? Brakes note; my A3 4x4 has 50/50 MC and 1 1/2" wheel pistons. I do not want to have an overdrive that spins the drive fast. My final for the Allison is 1/1 and tires 395 (rated to 65). Can it be done with a...
