I doubt finding only the torsion axle is very likely. Yea....projects...I'm committed to several already but always looking for a better way to use what I have on hand (which is not a 1101 axle). We'll talk again about NOS bed if I sell something. Thanks

Yes, I know and really like that about the 105...steel. I've bought and sold maybe 7-8 of the 105's but now I'm into franken-trailers....green iron cannibalism. The 105 bed on it's own would seem to be perfect with the torsion and surge brake axle from a 1101 and it's heavy enough to...

"Surface Finish Galvanized For Corrosion Protection." His specs say galvanized twice. Galvanizing I know of has to be applied to magnetic metal, not aluminum.

Is that the one titled: M101A3 military trailer axle hub to hub? If so, that is not a torsion axle, it takes springs or mounts solid. I could not come up with the torsion type.

His spec said galvanized...what would be galvanized? Is there an aluminum galvanizing process?

Question on trailers.....Has anyone ever replaced the heavy axle and suspension of an M105 with the torsion axle from an M1101 or 1102? I do like the surge brakes and the free reversing and have other plans for the suspension and axle from the 105. How hard is finding a M1101/2 axle without...

Take a fuel can that is clean and put a new line directly to your IP (no breaks or joints). Keep it high so it does not need to suck fuel up (set it on the cowl). That will take you around all of the fuel lines, filters and tank pickup to see if air is the problem. Should you want to run more...

The M931A2 I sold is experiencing some alternator problems and has fried the first rebuild. I like the idea of simplifying and making it so the shut down sequence is irrelevant. The lower cost unit, 70a, seems fine if it holds up....which apparently it does. .

Do you have 1" studs on 11.25bc?

How many of the CUCV can be considered fully safe and operable condition with a headlight and doors only....very few. Yes...that can be said about all MV, but the rest didn't get off road only on their titles. This came up for Washington....has a place that says "air bags" as a requirement...

The current standards for an assembled vehicle are reasonable or there would be none that are road-able, DOT wise. I'd like to get more details.

I remember when that was a taboo issue. I advocated for peeps here at SS to take a proactive approach but was informed the owners didn't want to because it brings up the issue, is omission lying? or fraud. Well maybe there was open discussion in some states faced with legislation they were...

Wheels are not common....Here is my ad for a set of 7. (will sell 5) https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?178009-20-quot-henderson-wheel-11-25-bc-hub-pilot A fire department in OK wanted them for their 916-A3 but has never come through. If serious, make offer. These are the rims you...

It would be nice to split them in half and or have an access from the outside fronts, like to the first upright without the seat. Splitting in half would allow some flexibility between load and people. I'm doing that on the m35 bed seats.

Here is the start of a single axle trailer to use with my pickup with a light load or the deuce 4x4 with a heavier load. Pictures show the axle with bolster wheels. I found 2.5 x 5 rectangle tube, maybe 11 ga, for the main rails. The frame will be 40" wide, which is 6" wider than the M105...

The Chelsea PTO for the five ton (939) comes with a single fiber gasket that seems to be the perfect thickness from the start. Is there a fiber one for the deuce available? I second what Rusty said about cork. (edit...fiber may not be the right word, it might be an asbestos replacement.)

edit---removed....I got off topic of titles Re Insuance, I was with Indiana Farm Bureau for 30 years and had my 817 (liability) insured at about $320/yr. I sold that truck and now have an M929A2. They wanted $800 recently and my house and commercial auto was way up. I ended up changing my...

Taking the risk and winning is a great feeling.

Some health problems are going to prevent me from coming for handing off the frames. I'll pay $20+ ride for a pair without the frames but we may have to UPS them, at your convenience. I'm trying to find a ride my direction for the M105 I'm buying from Chris. He said he would make thursday...

A potato gun would work pretty well, without the potato. NO, NO....I'm not recommending that. I was just thinking about the force from the air tank and it seemed about the same force as a potato gun.
