    M103/M105 replacement spring hanger options

    The spring hangers from a deuce front end are under the frame and are the same spring size/width as the M105 I believe. I need additional M105 hangers and springs if you end up with some surplus. FYI, here is an M105 frame with bolster wheels and one with duals mounted. The duals are 2"...

    JBL Services - Fort McCoy, Wisconsin

    A really good purchase to make with that dump truck is a new tailgate at Oshkosh (since you are going to be in the area). They have them listed for 299 on fleebay....a really good buy for the 817 you bought. Shipping is a killer on them so consider it when you are up there. Love the 817s.

    Post your M35A2 passenger seat upgrades

    Installed this seat and box in my 817. Made the seat base (rigid) and significantly modified a box I got on ebay. My M35A3 gets two of those seats. I'm still looking for the springer seat base for the passenger side and will make another console box again too.

    Did the supply of M101A2s and 3s dry up??

    I miss the days of buying the 105's just to get the tires (with nubs) and wheels to put new shoes (NDCC) on my F600 4x4 boomtruck. (bought 4). I had some 11.00 to replace them with and sold the 105's at a small profit. Man they were nice. You guys have seen the 105 bed with Dexter...

    Preparing to possible sell my M105 trailer.

    I bought an A2 model recently for $425, which has the new style landing leg jack. Biggest bang for the buck would be paint in my opinion. Use some red rust primer in those corners and make the whole thing green 383 (brush or roller). You don't know what it will hook to, so buying lights and...

    All 5-tons: Heavy Duty Torque Rod Ends

    Haven't read the TM but a preload would be like installing one end and tightening it down in say it's top position and then forcing it down to hook to the axle, where the rubber spring would be putting continuous torque, trying to return it to a neutral position. It makes sense, but I wonder...

    Deuce receiver hitch

    I wouldn't have thought about using the 2 1/2" if I had not seen some of the plug in tongue's, nice and heavy, at a surplus place for only $20. Then I noticed how the 2" fit nicely inside of the 2 1/2", with pin holes aligning and everything. Thus the 2 1/2" would fit that size receiver or the...

    Deuce receiver hitch

    Nice and heavy. I hope the receiver is thick too, the one on my pickup is getting loose from use. My M35 gets one too but I may go with the 2 1/2" (I think class V) or mount both sizes. I use 2 5/16" ball on everything, even my little Ford ranger rear clip that has my portable welder has a...

    A Hillbilly Crawls Under His 5 Ton And . . .

    Can you work it into position and get it back on with jacks and blocking? Then use a ratchet strap to keep it on, back to the shop.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I bought the steel frame reinforcement for my M35A3 4x4 project and located the spare tire carrier angle iron that can support the roll over protection (ROP). I bought 1/4" flat plate formed into an 11"x3"x10' L that will lap to the side of the frame just behind the cab and extend back 10' with...

    Did you add pockets or weld on the rails?

    S-788 Shelter and 1102 Gen Trailer Project and 1600 Mile First Run

    It looks like the camper worked pretty well. I have a similar project with an 1101 that I have cut to fit the S-788 (trailer had bent front and corners). I have about 4" from bed to the bottom for storage of poles, making it rather high. I may have to consider lowering it and regular...

    Looks a lot like M322. Does it have 20" on it or 22.5"? I'm not liking my ramps and may plan a rear extension that goes down for a ramp.

    I regret changing my M818 to hub piloted / unimount wheels

    I have a set of Michelins on a M322 trailer that would work sweet.

    frame when using m105 springs

    I bought steel for my truck frame today that will lap the side of the existing frame and stick down 3" beyond. I didn't want to go 5". It is 1/4" plate with a 90* L shape, 11" x 3" x 10'0". It laps a full 8" on the OE frame, from the back of the cab back 10'. I'm not mounting the above...

    HMMWV rim O rings

    Sorry, this is an old thread but came up high on the search. Unfortunately Doghead's links don't work and the OP never comes up with part numbers. Myself, I have 2 rims with 12 bolts and the very small o-ring, I believe is 3/16". The #384 Buna N 70 duro o-ring came and it is too big. I'm...

    Looking for cab info

    Suprman may know of something in your area. Since you list (2) 923's, you must need the larger cab. We definitely would like some pictures.
