I've never heard of changing the air compressor pully when changing the belt. I have an A3 so can't go look at the A2, but I'm imagining a pulley that can vary the speed of the compressor, making the belt run closer or further away from the center. That doesn't seem like something that you...

Could you post some pictures and maybe a link. I was thinking a very small window unit (ductless), but looking for other ideas too.

First, is because my fitting was so hard coming out that now I have to re-plump it. But I want to have the use of it without brakes around my farm and don't want the actuator pushing on the MC while it's not fixed properly. The bolt stops the heavy actuator arm from pushing on the cylinder. It...

Two spots of weld on one of the gears will stop them, they don't have to be welded together and you would never get a weld to hold. I put 2 spots on, one on each side of the other gear meshing so the gear doesn't turn a full turn (and get momentum going) before it hits the weld. If you only...

5 ton mods and hot rodding was what I had in mind. It might fit other places too. I've see some of the differences A2 to A3 once looking. Wonder if someone has just an A3 bed to sell?

It's enough military components and seeing a relatively sealed cab is cool. Just post in the modified. The small annual or 2 year fee opens you to the classified ads. We like pictures. I'm working on dish out for the M35A3 wheel and 14.5 tire on a M105A2. Going to cut the flange off and...

The bolt makes it solid. It stops movement in and it's at the full out position. I didn't want to lose the surge brakes when I want them, but I can run fine without the brake actuator moving in and out now also, just relying on the truck brakes. I guess it cold shear off a 3/8 grade 8 bolt...

Did you eliminate the brake MC operator? That is on and M1101? Here is what I did to get down on 2 5/16" ball. Ring can mount higher. I will be extending the tongue with 3x3. Oh yea, on the second photo there is a bolt through it. That stops movement of the interior arm structure from...

My riser is maybe 6. The back and forth and side to side has loosened my receiver fit.

I'm thinking maps (Garman), communication from driver to passenger, FM radio or I tunes, streaming video, hands free phone, recording a trip with the camera, internet, etc....the whole shebang. If I could, I would add a backup camera also. Our school sold off used I pads in a rubber armor...

Is anybody using the I-pad and camera, connected to an I-phone with data and one or more headsets?

I think so too, but on the rear, with only one axle, the Detroit probably wouldn't be too bad. The frame is not shortened and the axle is 14" behind the center of the trunnion, so not bobbed and with longer wheel base. For about 700 difference, I might consider it though.

Sure Chris, I would too if it was staying 6x6. Only one would relieve the stress in a turn of the back following a slightly smaller circle than the front rear axle. I think it requires a splined axle shaft, must be part of the kit. I thought about going a different route, making a cover plate...

Bolster wheel (also M1061) and 12.50-16.5 tire

Got me....I don't understand. I must be mistaken then that the hubs with duals are at the wider position, if yours ended up wide, they must have started narrow. My A3 gets "flipped" so I can do dish out with the bearings properly located...would be a narrow face to face.

My preference is dish out, but I'm confused about you having them "flipped". I saw you running Budd duals which have the wider hub face mounting surface, measured from face to face. To have dish out, that mounting surface has to move up next to the drum, a narrower width from face to face...

I'm not going with differential locks in the front, certainly not Detroit full time, but I plan on putting on hub locks. Air (possibly electric) differential lock is only going on the one rear axle (4x4). Being an A3, I have air for the TC front drive, so air lock seems logical over electric...

I have to ask about "flipping the hubs". Were they opposite what they are now (appears to be dish in)?

In a lot of ways it's like my little 4x4 tractor. I can have one front and one rear spinning and I'm done until I push the foot lever and lock in the rear axle. I may only use it 2-3% of the time, but pushing hard or backing out of a hole...it works and I would be SOL if I didn't have it...

Yea, the cost is a factor, unfortunately. I still have (5) tires to buy, but I have 4 descent 14.5's, so that expense can be put off. Don't have the 105 bed yet either and have a lot of frame work for the center winch, too... +seats, a new door, tranny with PTO... It's not like I NEED another...
