    1-wheel vs 2-wheel landing gear

    This one I’m looking at is fairly rough. 100% complete but weathered. More than just some “surface rust”. But, it’s $100

    1-wheel vs 2-wheel landing gear

    Thanks everyone. Now that I own a trailer I’ll definitely dig into the TM’s. Im sure my question was elementary; but thanks again

    1-wheel vs 2-wheel landing gear

    Just starting to dabble into some trailers. I picked up a m105a2 trailer last week and it’s landing gear has 2-wheels. I’m looking to go pick up another m105 and the pictures only show a 1-wheel landing gear. Is it because of a design/year change? Just curious. Thanks

    So you painted canvas? Correct? I ask because I have a canvas cargo cover to paint, and then a vinyl cab cover

    First time in the snow…

    I agree about the salt. I’m not real interested in winter driving here in Ohio because of the obscene amount of road salt, but, cruising around the property is always fun. I appreciate all the replies. I totally understand this big truck isn’t magical because it’s big, but just thought I’d...

    I filter to 1micron, so 0.5 is amazing!

    First time in the snow…

    Last winter was my first winter with a duece. The wife and I have about 20acres and I took it out into one of our small “pastures”. The field grass was about 8-10” tall and then we had about 6-8” of snow on top of that. Anyways, I couldnt go ANYWHERE without the front diff engaged, and even...

    WMO users in Ohio?

    Looks like a great setup; for me it would take a few years for the pay off as I don’t run 100% wmo or lots of mileage. I usually mix 70% wmo, 20% diesel, and 10% gas. Now, if my house could burn it, and my shop, then it would definitely pay off faster! Keep us posted! Ohio native myself…

    button replacement video-toocheaptosmoke

    Nothing but that clip. Hence they fall off or break periodically. You would think there would be a better way, but I guess as a potential wear item it’s easier than a new plunger rod, which would mean a new HH.

    Removing, rebuilding, reinstalling Hydraulic Head

    Last time I bought some was a few months ago, I got all (3) orings for $13.55/free shipping. That was off the popular auction site. I searched and searched for the best price and that was it, these are also viton. I can post a link if I’m allowed…

    Pieces and parts for IP rebuild

    I was just hoping to find someone who’s been through one a few times that might say; “X” always needed replaced, or “Y” was always worn out. Kinda the common things I might find when digging in. I’m not looking for a “complete” rebuild, but if “X and Y” always needed replaced, then I’ll do that...

    Pieces and parts for IP rebuild

    The only “issues” are leaky gaskets/seals. Mainly the IP body/housing and that’s it. It is currently on a running truck, so it doesn’t seem to have any other issues that I’m aware of.

    Awesome! Because the only real issues at this moment are leaky gaskets/seals. Mainly the IP body/housing.

    Pieces and parts for IP rebuild

    What other pieces and parts would be needed or be wise to replace when tearing apart the IP to replace gaskets? I already have the “basic” gasket kit, and the HH orings on hand. I was hoping maybe someone who’s been through a rebuild could offer some advice on what might need replaced, or what...
