I used the boards from under to fill in the sides and between them. I cut some 1/2" stock for under them so the hold down tabs didn't poke the bottom. Then used a couple of boards on top so the seat bottom can't get down into the terminals...careful it's close if they are the 1400 cca. On...

Man, you lucked out on the Hawkers. Your trucker can air the brakes to get it off. Good luck

You don't have to have great batteries, just 2 that are not dead (if there is a jump vehicle). Have you read the many battery threads? I like the big 8D, 1400cca from Oreilly. 2 replaces 4 and cost about $220 each if you negotiate. Just be careful with those big batteries terminals hitting...

Here is another idea for the outer nut. It uses the inner sleeve and washer with the OEM 9/16" nut. Then would not require chamfer to the rims and it would have a large bearing area.

Thanks Wes, I really didn't see how it would fit, but with the longer shaft on the bolt, is very close to the wheel hole size. It's not the 3/4 threads.... it's the .970 stud shaft extending through the first wheel and into the second that keeps it in place (piloted by the bolt). In...

I do expect to use my truck in winter on roads that may have some clean areas, so the difference in revolutions per mile, using the 12.00 in the rear and 395's front, concerns me. I'm considering the 12.00's on the front also. I read the thread about weight rating, using them on an 819, where...

I bought a 48" piece that is 1.00" outside and .75" inside. Thus a sleeve can be made to any length, like 2" to fit through both wheels. I note that the stud Wes referenced is Euclid no E-5721 L and R (same except knurl length) and that in that same size, up to a 4" bolt is available. That...

Mos68x, I don't understand what you mean about a spacer with a bevel. The wheel doesn't have a bevel unless you put one in it. As for spacers, the one above that I made from DOM is the right inner and outer diameter, assuming the dual bud is the same as my Henderson steel singles (hub...

Me either Wes. We be friends. The rims look great with the 5 ton, but the size of the pilot on our 939 hubs does not catch the second wheel. Any looseness in the outer bolt will let it move ever so little, but potentially enough to make a difference. I don't want to weld to my hub. I set up...

Okay, I'm not into welding onto the hub but your comment Mos68x sparked me to start searching for studs. I came across this inner nut, which notes it is for aluminum to aluminum rims. http://www.truckspring.com/products/Inner-Cap-Wheel-Nut-34-16-Thread-306-inch-long-Right__13-3026R.aspx...

The top one is the rim we are talking about showing the 1" thick. Notice the lip on the one side of that center hole? ....Hmmmm. You can see that it's bolt hole is a straight hole ...just what size? The bottom 3 are his trailer. I'm not sure if he meant to post them as I don't see the...

I've had some open up too. I put a spot of weld on them, they are not tempered. The open hook looks suspect for opening also.

Forgot what you had on hand. You're fairly well fixed on MO of operation but please let me know if you come up with something to modify it toward your goals.

Thanks Wes for your help here. Lets get back to mounting the rim that you described as " aluminum Hutchenson beadlock dual type wheel" and the 12.00 tire. Is there a model designation for this wheel type? I just looked and see that the rear hubs on my 929 have a tab that sticks out for hub...

Glad it fit with no problems. That's good to hear...I was wondering. Now that you have done it, do you think there is room for a direct mount pump? Here is another idea since you don't have the pump already.... use a variable displacement pump and a valve that switches...

Wagoneer, you can use a cable that mounts on the dash or a bracket attached to the dash. Pull it out to engage and push it in to disengage. I haven't seen an electric or air setup that works on the 939 series without something hitting something. As far as operation, that will depend on the...

I met Marty and his son and they unexpectedly bought my lunch. We had some great MV talk and I got to see their boneyard of trucks, some closer to running than others. Marty climbed in the back of his M37 and rode in the rain giving me a front seat. When we came across the bridge truck with...

Jeff, They look handy with straps or to attach netting. Good reinforcement !

Does that mean your drilling out the hub and brake drum, for the larger stud? It's 1" isn't it?

Yea, everyone seems to want retail prices....and then it sits. I give SS members a price break and move it. They were NOS and never been on the road. I had 7 and gained a friend.
