It might be better to post this in the 5 ton section, but i was gonna see if anyone had some 5 ton wheels. I only need four. I'm looking to run some 46 inch XMLs on them. The only catch is that i'm gonna run them on 2 1/2 ton axles so i need the 6 lug pattern. I figured i could recenter them or...
Thanks for the ideas everyone. I eventually got really annoyed with this as i've been working on it for a while so i just took my angle grinder with a cutting wheel and put a cut down the drum right above the wheel cylinder. Even though i'll now have to get another drum, i'm glad i did this...
Thanks for the quick replies everyone. Yeah i tried the adjusters. One felt like it wasn't even doing anything, but the other did feel like it may have been helping. I didn't really know how to get any penetrating oil in the drums to make a difference. So if I try to pull the hub off with the...
I looked around some before posting so hopefully this question hasn't already been asked. But one of my rear drums is seized up real bad(this is on a M211 axle by the way). I've used a really big sledge on it with very little success. So are the pads most likely rusted up to the drum? Whats the...
If anybody is interested at all please let me know. I think its going to the scrap yard within the next week. I'm pulling some wheels and maybe some axle parts. I think it has a good motor, axles and frame. If there are any little items anyone can think of I'd be happy to look. I'd love for...
As far as drivetrain its engine and axles. The tranny and t-case are gone. But the guy would give you a really good deal on it. He really wants it to go to someone that can use it instead of just being scrapped.
I'm posting this up for a friend. He's got what I think to be a M211 that he's gonna have to eventually scrap if nobody wants it. Basically what is left is the banjo axles, frame, and engine. I think he may have even mentioned the engine being rebuilt. But feel free to ask me questions on here...
Oh wow. I guess i will have to check them out then. Thanks everybody for the replies. I was just kinda playing with the idea of disks. But if i can rebuild the drums for cheap enough then i won't mess with it.
I'm not sure i get what you're saying here but from what i've seen on here the wheel cylinder kits are about 50 each new. I've not really priced them myself though. But my thinking is is you're gonna have to spend $100 per wheel just for wheel cylinders why not try to do disk breaks.
Since the drum brakes on the M211 banjo axles sound like they are going to be really expensive to rebuild, has anybody looked into a disk break conversion? Wouldn't it be pretty easy to do if you could find a rotor that would fit? I've just kinda started thinking about it since the wheel...
Yeah that sounds interesting. I wouldn't mind seeing some pics of that. But so does anybody see a problem with flipping the front m211 axle to make it a drivers side drop and then using a regular transfer case?
Could i really do that? So would there not be any kind of oiling issues with the differential? Is there a drivers side drop np 205, cause that is what i would love to go with for a transfer case.
Well thanks for the replies. I guess i should explain what i wanna do. I've got some m211 axles that i want to put under my 78 Jeep Truck. From what i've heard i will have to flip the front differential if i want to use the axles with a traditional transfer case. I would really prefer not to do...
I was reading that the transmission in the M211 was a GM hydramatic so i was wondering if any knew how easy it would be to hook up the transfer case from a M211 to a 70s turbo 400 transmission. And any information on the M211 transfer case would be greatly appreciated too.
Thanks
Evan
