It is air over hydraulic, which means there is an air diaphragm that operates a hydraulic cylinder. The brakes are hydraulic.

Will someone with an 1101 or 1102 answer why the brakes don't lock on when backing?

Many of the 105s have been handled with a fork truck and the above actuator breaks at the pipe thread to the tank. MWMules answered about seats. Note the tires are not rated for today's highway speeds, but if your pulling with a mil vehicle...neither are most of them.

How long of #6 SO do you need?

Yes that is correct for the front left. That tire can rotate to the right rear with the dish out or keep on the same side with dish in. If anyone wants a set of the A3 wheels and tires for their deuce front, I have a set (2) ready to go, new o-ring and large bore valve stem, in the classified.

Tinstar, that's a question someone else will have to answer. I'm still building on it and have not used it yet. It is a question I would like to see answered, I've wondered about that several times. That's why I went and looked.

I'm so sorry for your loss Snowtiger.

I looked for a similar hole in the 1101...nope

Until fixed, make a block of wood and put it in place, perhaps secure with tape, so it doesn't come on at all. Unless loaded heavy, your truck can stop it without brakes.

If it has the gear, it fits the same PTO as the 5 ton uses, 6 bolt. The only difference is the number of teeth. The 545/1545 has 55 teeth and the Alison in the 5 ton has 77. By the math, the 5 ton turns just under 1.5r for every 1 engine rpm and the 545 turns just over 1/1. Some 545's do not...

Hank, does your AT 545 have the gear for a PTO? Here is one on my 1545.

I'm sure my M931A2 tractor would be very satisfying. Has 32 hours since a RR rebuild 2012. Unlike me, having to upgrade time after time, buying and selling, you could go to excellent. Unfortunately what I would like to do to it, putting on a new stainless steel dump bed, is out of my reach...

My how plans change. I sold the donor M105A2 today whose bed was going on the back of my A3, making it into a 4x4 (but not cutting the truck frame length). I had to help with some of the daughters wedding cost and I had a back up green iron plan. Plan b now is to use the deuce bed on the...

Do you have fuse or a circuit breaker? I'm thinking there should be some DIN rail stuff, but only now starting to look. I do have some 24vdc DIN mount relays if you get sophisticated.

I haven't, but further back in the thread there was another member Gimpy referenced that went through the discovery process for replacing the bulbs with LED's, which required a longer lens. I liked how 18operator's lights looked, are indirect so I'm using the light strips... which I discovered...

Moving to level 2 in the LED dash lighting experiment, going from cool white to red and green also. I started a thread for it here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?170155-LED-dash-and-other-uses

Oh my, the dimmer really makes a difference. I cut one piece 4" and one 12" and also have the full length (about 9') operating on one dimmer. It appears that if one puts a 4" piece at strategic locations for indirect light, this could be a really effective, relatively low cost system for MANY...

The strip and dimmers came in today and I split it for my partners. We each got 10' and two of the remote dimmers. I cut a 12" piece and slipped on the mechanical connector, then went to the truck. I have not put the dimmer into the circuit and they were quite bright (cool white). Since...

Do they come with decent doors? No front window needed but do need side windows. What ever happened to using a 939 series on the back of a deuce? Have you seen that combination Jeff?

Copy from pjwest03 on the deuce thread fyi The simple single color led strips are dimmed by PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). Ultimately that simply means turning it on and off very fast. The dimming is accomplished by varying the percentage of on time vs off time. The omnivolt type lamps use a...
