    Bobbing 923A2

    You should be able to get a much better ride with springs and a helper air bag. Put them outside the frame to keep the width as wide as possible and use the same shocks as the front. Shackle angle matters too as well as the angle of the axle in relation to the TC. Use 16.00 tires. Heck yes..5...

    Stupidity at its Finest

    I would put it in my F600 4x4 boomtruck in a heartbeat. But I like the rods too.

    ‘72 M35A2 w/ front locking hubs dismantle.

    I don't have one on an m35 but I do on an F600. They come off in one piece and you can see how the spline engages or disengages. It's not much different than taking off the splined cap.

    Air dryer options.

    With larger tanks, it will take longer to air up. What happens with low air ....less brake assist....less help in steering...less pressure to fill tire or ?? Unlike the air on the 5 ton, that releases brakes at around 60, the deuce would still have some brakes while the system fills. How...

    Air dryer options.

    Well jeepsinker, I have to admit not having looked up the compressor specs on the Cat 3116 but It doesn't look too large. If I get to the rebuild of the front springs for a plow it would make sense to increase the steering and brakes reserve capacity, for turning and stopping a lot. That...

    Air dryer options.

    The pto would be different. It took a flange kit too. The pto is same as an m925 or 929 but turns a little slower on the Allison 1545/Cat..

    Converting 416v output to 480v output

    I had a weld shop about a block from the power plant and the strength (as well as deliverable short circuit rms) was way up there. I put in a rare 240 delta 3 phase with a 240 single pulled from 2 poles. Man that was nice to have the 3 and single in one service. Now it's all Y 120/208 or...

    Converting 416v output to 480v output

    Can you provide the reference ? I thought maybe 10% up to around 440, which is in the range to operate most 115 duty cycle motors, unless fusing or heaters are tight.

    5 ton Top Speed

    Wes.....really....is that the 395 MVT rated to 81 ?

    5 ton Top Speed

    Putting in gauges is a good thing. You will probably need to go to the 3000 governor springs. I think the OEM max out approaching 2100. I've read a lot about the 8.3t going higher, but I want mine set at 2300. Road speed then depends on the tires, I'm running 395s, so slower road speed...

    circuit interrupter switch

    I use WD40 or penetrating oil on a lot of electric with laminations and to lube. Rust and eddy currunts don't get along well.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Not so much never done as finishing one item being entirely overshadowed by 5 new.

    PTO help needed

    I didn't come up with it in an SS search but a good SS thread was found by google search. It's from around 2006 and seems to have what you need. Google Search title "PTO for a NP205, need info." And see if the SS thread comes up. I can't seem to link things with my tablet.

    M1102

    Thanks...there was not a corner that hadn't been beat up. It did clean up nice. top and sides get steel. I don't know the make of the actuator, Titan may be right.

    M1102

    The brakes will function normally when I remove the bolt that I installed. I have not remade the brake line yet and I don't want the movement with a dry MC. So no brakes. But it's my weldtrailer and not complete to dot.....yet.

    M1102

    If you make a change like mine, the heat from welding on one side will cause it to make a C shape, not stay straight. This affects putting in a ball or ring unit. I cut one bolt hole off and is not so obvious like 6 hole was. I used a 4 1/2" cut off wheel to cut the ring off the plunger. Take...

    M1102

    I lengthened mine out and use a ball. Also put a bolt in to stop the plunger and lock out the brakes. The plunger is cast steel, so can be welded.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Slate, here is the bag mount on top of the spring. It worked well with the square U bolts. Second photo is gooseneck ball, in frame, mount.

    Buying a m105 tomorrow anything I need to know before the purchase

    Most like "original" but there are a couple of tire and wheel combinations that work too. While you can dual up the budd originals with 9.00, it puts the width 2" beyond the legal 8'6". Bolster wheels like the M1061 has can work, using 12.5 x 16.5" tire or a hummer tire ( my favorite). Or...

    Buying a m105 tomorrow anything I need to know before the purchase

    I'm an m105 fan.....lots of good parts. Really....it matches your m35 so go for it.
