Cracks progress at a faster rate if mud is not cleaned off, especially in the early stages. I'm using waste synthetic oil on mine to help keep the rubber hydrated. Seems to help. I had a set of GY AT2 that had become egg shap too...still had great treadbut suffered the CTIS disease.

Has anybody seen these big Sand Trail 450 tires used on a vehicle? I know they will not fit on a double axle rear deuce due to front hitting back (like the 14.00). My 4x4 has room in the rear but a big worry is front rubbing. They are very close to the diameter of a 14.00, so any info on...

For road use, go for the thinner. Front on a rock crawler mud bogger .... would use the thick ones. I'm assuming thicker results in more pressure against the rubber bead to hold it in place. G....are there thick and thin beadlocks used with combat and other 10" wide wheels. I have some in...

One weighs 37# and the other 29#.

If you don't want to ruin a perfectly good spline hub, consider making a blank to cover the bearings. Use the dished head to an air tank, readily available, and weld on a flange.

Just discovered that these A3 beadlocks, Hutchesin 11 x 20 have different weight. Now I see a difference in the thickness. Rubber of one is about an inch thick and the other is 3/4. The thicker would seem to put more pressure than the thinner one. To me, this suggests that we have some...

Look at the twist when one rear axle goes up and the other down. It puts a huge torque on them that can bust a retainer off if the retainer is 90* to the bone (some people weld on). My A3 was one of the last produced and I don't know if they were replaced. I have 6 attached to the trunion...

Indiana titles the same from a bill of sale as it does from an SF97. I've bought and titled 18 military trucks and about that many trailers, 17 on BOS and 1 with SF97. They require police inspection but treat the bill of sale the same.....so why even get an SF97 unless your state will not...

Those retainers are the biggest rust area and they fall apart when touched. Not useable in my case. A place about 30 miles away makes rock wool board product with aluminum skin. . I'll do a dumpster dive...they throw a lot away.

While fixing the light above I found something that I didn't know. Both of the mounting bolts are used for ground. One is the stop run lights and the other is the blackout. I understand the power wire being separate but why the ground? Of course one needs a quality connection of bolt to...

Thanks bill, but I can't attach it and don't want to glue it on. A late RR rebuild had 1" foam that was real nice. Still, without spot welding on retainers ...maybe a chicken wire frame or some welded wire. I don't want to put on something flammable either, like have urethane sprayed on.

Hi Maribor, welcome to the site. Please put your state and/or other information in. We have several vendors to purchase from and give you information. Of course in the past, the old timers would scold you for not doing research first......, those times mostly gone. I recently put a new...

My 929 that is excellent otherwise had wet insulation on the underside of the hood and made spots of rust on the inside of the hood. I removed it and it dried out and put the rust in check. In north Indiana we can get rather cold, so not having insulation could be a problem. I'll be...

The Henderson 20 x 11 are entirely rubber like Dave (Eastern) posted above. I have not seen steel ones for A3 wheels.

I put a lock out pin/bolt in my 1101. It stops the ram from moving, is the small bolt on first photo.

The ones that work on A3 wheels, like Dave shows above for the 11" wide wheel, which say 20x11, actually measure 10" wide. Same is in the 14.5.

Back of a tail light. Notice bare wire where it comes out of the box, sandwiched between box and steel back plate.

Here is the motor mount. It's solid with no isolation. I'm wondering about putting the entire unit on a thin rubber pad. Also, here is a rough sketch using steel roof corrugated material for sides, front, gate. The moving floor is all added to the back, about 30", and a conveyor is to be...

Glcaines asked about brakes.....What is your plan? They are one heck of a trailer and a value because people underestimate weight, handling and brakes. Trailer empty is almost 6,000 + truck at 7500 is already above 13'500 which is above the 3500 rating empty. I would make it a gooseneck...

Are you sure you want a loaded 1061 behind a pickup??? Sorry, but I'm questioning using my deuce as a pull vehicle. They want to go straight. The axles are wide apart making any turn drag some tires and a relatively short tongue. It not only will push you at a stop....it will be in a...
