    Gears again

    What is the latest on gears for the deuce to bring it to safe highway speed? Brakes note; my A3 4x4 has 50/50 MC and 1 1/2" wheel pistons. I do not want to have an overdrive that spins the drive fast. My final for the Allison is 1/1 and tires 395 (rated to 65). Can it be done with a...

    Windshield wipers

    What am I missing? I researched the wiper blades and came up with an Anco 41-01 and blade 31-13. They don't just slide together as the former post stated. I must have picked up the wrong numbers, the quick reference sticky has entirely different numbers.

    450 sand trail 4x4

    Has anybody seen these big Sand Trail 450 tires used on a vehicle? I know they will not fit on a double axle rear deuce due to front hitting back (like the 14.00). My 4x4 has room in the rear but a big worry is front rubbing. They are very close to the diameter of a 14.00, so any info on...

    To insulate under the hood or not.

    My 929 that is excellent otherwise had wet insulation on the underside of the hood and made spots of rust on the inside of the hood. I removed it and it dried out and put the rust in check. In north Indiana we can get rather cold, so not having insulation could be a problem. I'll be...

    Budd rim for 12.00 dual

    I'm wondering what rims could be used on the back of my 4x4 M35A3 with 12.00 dual (budd) rim. Is there a one piece rim? Will have 395 on front.

    long cargo trailer

    Has anyone made a trailer from the long cargo 5 ton bed? I need to haul ground up wood to my place from 30 miles away and lay it down in a 4-6" bed about 4' wide right out of the trailer. Need lots of volume and a way to self unload. The long cargo seems a good start point for the basic bed...

    Hub vs bolt centered

    I have several rims that appear to have the same offset as the HEMTT rims and they have 1" holes on 11.25 bc. They have the same 8 5/8" center as my 5 ton rims. While I know our 5 tons are considered bolt centering, is the hub close to the wheel size to act as hub centering? I read also about...

    M1061 modifications

    I'm making some modifications to my M1061 for hauling sawdust, mainly behind my m929A2. I don't want to make it into a dump but I still want a way to offload that is not my back operating a shovel, although bagging it up directly from the trailer is an option. I'm leaning toward a mechanism to...

    Hummer hot rod

    Has anyone seen a hot rod, maybe not 4wd, hummer? Rat rod? I have a wide Dana 80 with 410 I'm wondering about adapting. Are there any bodies around, not all beat up, to build from?

    Recharging Exide 6tmf

    I thought my dump had hawkers but I found I had Exide. This is the only one of 15 5 tons that started under its own power when I bought it and with some convincing (charging) has lasted a couple years without major attention. I sure was glad to find Exide, it seems my small charger works with...

    16 bay TV antenna

    Building a 16 bay dipole antenna to get over air digital TV...hope it works. I'll build another for Chicago stations if this one, pointed at Fort Wayne, performs well. Notice the use of fiberglass seat components. It's really rigid. This is in-process build. I have a lot to do, putting on...

    17.5 budd wheel for 105

    I scored a set (6) of the Isuzu 6 lug Budd wheels and tires, 17.5 tubeless that should go on an m105 trailer or axle. I went ahead and committed, hoping to find a use. Earlier I bought 6 of the same but 19.5" for a tandem trailer. I'll probably turn this to a "for sale" but couldn't pass up a...

    Air dryer options.

    I'm rethinking my air system on my my M35A3 4x4 project and just got the old Haldex DRYest back from puttiing a new one on the 929. I could rebuild it......or buy a new one, maybe less capacity. I want to add some reserve for using air tools, so need an ASME tank. There is brake assist...

    Tandem trailer using M105 axles build

    I'm beginning a trailer build using (2) M105 axles. I just purchased some motor home tires and wheels, 19.5" budds with 8 x 19.5 tires. Got 6 and will have to find 3-4 more. Would like to have a couple spares. On the axle, they measure outside to outside....8'5"....so real close to the legal...

    24 vdc hydraulic pump question

    I have a hydraulic pump that is listed in the classified but I may be missing a label that gives me all the information I need to know about the exact functions of the valve. If anyone recognizes the pump and has more information, please help me out. It appears to be a double action, power...

    Have you seen a M105 converted to gooseneck?

    Wondering about making an M105 into a gooseneck. Have you seen one? My under bed hitch on the A3 4x4 is about 10" behind the center of the axle. How about some ideas for using the space in front of the bed as part of the A.

    4x4 M105 bed cover

    I'm using the M105 bed on my A3 4x4 project and want a strong frame and canvas cover. I salvaged the uprights from the sides in the picture, but they are not strong and a couple are bent where the corners attach. All in all, it seems rather flimsy and going down the road at 50, might not be...
