I'm looking for the tongue length of a M105 a1 or a2. Apparently it wasn't considered a critical dimension in the TM. So if someone has a 105 and tape measure I would appreciate if I could get the measurement from the tip of the lunette ring to the front of the box. Thanks.

Well there is a vertical reinforcement channel in the center of the front wall of the box so here are the 2 measurements. From the brace on the front of the wall you have 51 3/4” From the front wall it's self it's 53 1/4”.

Yeah the box length and overall length are in the TM, but the Tongue length doesn't equal Box minus overall. At least not to the accuracy I was looking for.

Thanks again guys

Wow that was fast DH it took me about an hour to find that page earlier. Now I need to buy a 105 to find the missing 3.75" :-D

This was your basic math problem.

I was going to answer but I wanted to know if anyone else would see that.
