M48A5! Thought most of those went to National Guard units….

WOW….just WOW! Awesome!!

Nice job Ron!! Kudos to your more than capable staff on the restoration, looks AWESOME!!

Dang that‘s a shame…I also benefited from his sales & PIF deals. Plus I enjoyed reading his posts, he had a wealth of useful knowledge & I was appreciative of his willingness to share so willingly with us. Rest In Peace, sir….you’ll be missed.

Wes (simp5782) was just telling me about a change in the eBay app that allows him to receive messages from buyers but does not allow him to reply directly…. So it wouldn’t hurt to reach out to him on this forum, he’ll reply as soon as he has time to.

You, sir, have a gift…thank you for sharing your gift with us! That is outstanding work!

Good to see you back on here Trango!

It’s all intentional

The dual-tired M105 trailer in pics above is mine. I just added stock M35 wheels & 9.00 tires. The overall width (outside sidewall to outside sidewall) is just shy of 104 inches, so YES, it is over width. I used it to move & store 4 multifuel takeout engines, and it is still storing them next...

My apologies; I must have misread or misunderstood…didn’t meant to derail your thread.

OR, get a new nut slightly smaller & accompanying die and go from there. (Since you mentioned that the previous threads were stripped out and left a smooth shaft…why not just cut new threads slightly smaller and use a new nut that fits them? With a little anti-seize applied of course…)

Females tend to get friendlier with the more money you throw at them…I’m sure this one is no different. It’s just a matter of money: how friendly & affectionate do you want her to be?

Excellent write-up! This should just about cover the entirety of the short AirPaks out there. Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely incredible work! Well done!!

I get most of my Detroit parts from Powerline Components in Wyoming; they’ve always come through for me, especially if you ask Sales for Joe. Be sure to have your engine model number & serial number handy, in order to be able to get the right parts…unless you can verify the exact part number...

I have broken down tube tires mostly with a duckbill hammer and tire spoons. For the stubborn ones where the rust & ancient rubber bead have fused and wouldn’t move with any hammering, I pushed the tire/wheel under my flatbed equipment trailer and used a hydraulic bottle jack to break the beads...

Hydraulic Bead Breaker

How about an Electric-Over-Hydraulic controller (12-volt)? That way you could use a standard trailer plug to tow it…the hydraulic brakes are pretty effective on these trailers. As stated in other threads, you can get 6-lug Budd wheels in other, smaller sizes to use modern tubeless radial tires...

But then you’d have to turbo & intercool it…. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Either hooks on ends of chain or with some Grade8/10 bolts/washers/nuts/etc…
