My M35A3 w/w, with 8/95 dated axels, purchased out of Sparta, and stationed at Indiana Army Reserve unit according to bumper numbers, has the M35A3 vin number stamped on the left frame rail (on the outside just behind the driver's side wheel)....
My Dad was in the 3rd Attack/Bomb Group in the Southwest Pacific. Shipped out to Australia and New Guinea in Jaunary 1942 and returned in 1945.
In the background of one of the photos my family has of one of the airfields is a Farmall farm tractor. I remember asking my Dad about it and he said...
I have a project in which I need at least 64 inches between the wheels, instead of the stock 57 inches.
Can I just flip the 9.00-20 wheels (w/ndt tread) on the M105A2 trailer axle (i.e., is doing that problematic??), or should I just bite the bullet and cut/lengthen the axle...??
Thanks for...
