I'm leaning toward narrowing the M105 axle by 2-3" to make it legal width with duel 9.00's. They are more readily available and are shorter. And it's only one cut/weld. I don't know how I missed that earlier, I thought it was within the legal limit. Soooo close. Here is the frame and axles...

Re weight rating, I found a thread where Gringeltaube had given the (M105) part numbers of the bearings as 39590 and 39591 so I looked them up for their weight ratings. Timken gives a rating based on 90 million revolutions and a rating based on 1 million. The 39590 and 39591 have the same 90m...

I looked up the specifications of an M200 trailer. I see the width is listed at 89+". I have to believe that is over the duels and thus is a full 12" less than the legal maximum width. I won't say that eliminates 4 above, but I do want as wide as possible, without being over the legal limit...

A quick look at the 105 shows the single tire from an A3 will fit the axle fine and have plenty of spring clearance, but it would be against the bed (if the bed were still on and the dish in). That brings me to 1. take a chance with 103" wide, 2. shorten the axles about 2-3" and keep the 9.00...

Already have 2 of the M105's.

I thought I measured 102". I just went and measured and it's 103" over the tire bulge, with 9.00-20's. If nothing was wider than the tires, I might be tempted to chance it, 8'6" or 102 is the legal limit, I think..but will check. The other choice is the good A3 wheels and 14.5 tires (I...

Sorry Chris, I sold one set and am using the other set with the deuce bed, making a dump trailer. Thanks though!

Hi Marty, I like your picture of the bridge truck. It's sweet! Yes, the distance down for the fixed end should be about level with the connection point of the shackle end and I'm guessing, but the equalizer should have about 3" travel each (up and down) direction. It gives a start point...

Has anyone built a tandem trailer using M105 axles, dueled up? Picture below is M105 axle with duels. It appears the springs and perches would work and I could fabricate an equalizer. The air to hydraulic brakes would work on the A3 deuce or a 5 ton too.
