RE: Re: goodyear mvt I will have to check it some time. I had 11.00's on the truck before and since I added the space to the out side of the rim I would think it couldn't hit anything, unless you are thinking it might hit something on the out side. I'll check when I get the energy to do it...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: pictures My dad somehow came across a M105 trailer back in the early 80's with the front landing gear ripped off. About ten years ago I pulled the bed from the frame and put an old mobile home axle under it with 3" channel for a frame. It's sitting in the back yard full of...

"If it is a 100 with part # 12447110 then A is AC B is IGN C 14V B+ D 28V B+ " That is the right model number and the manual does confirm that. The only question remaining is what is "accessory" for? It would make sense to run the 28v point to the vehicle and the 14v to the added battery...

RE: Re: goodyear mvt I mounted up a tire on the rim today and it worked OK but two things have me troubled. First the tube. I would really like to get a tube sized for that tire. Secondly, my flap. The flap I used only over lapped by an inch on each side at most. While getting the stuff...

Thank you SIR. That manual is the ticket. I think I have it figured out. I just need to determine what the accessory point needs to go to as well as determine if the 28 volt point needs to be tired to a regulator. Joe Trapp

I have a hummer generator I want to install on my deuce but need help wiring it in. I would imagine I am not the only one that would like to do such a thing, so if we could all pool our brains here I think we can come up with a plan. First off if this has been cover here already please post a...

Well I wasn't going to post much about the rim I just fabbed up but after reading about everybody else's, I figure it can't hurt to share. I have made one rim so far, 11" wide, for my 14.5 tires. I did it differently so I figure I should post what I did. I cut a civilian Dayton wheel 4.5"...

I have used socket extensions in the past with an adjustable wrench on the male end. If you have one that is not a perfect fit, cut two pieces of a flat stock to make up the difference. If you have a 1/2" drive extension and a 7/16 head, two 1/16" shims will reduce the 1/2"opening in the...

Throw away engine is a good one. We used to have a lot of them and as long as they worked they worked fine but they are not long term engines. When you ware them out, throw them away. Not good for rebuilding. We are Cummins people with more Volvo stuff now than anything else. Joe Trapp

Does any one have a source for inner tubes for the 14.5 tires. I have modified a rim and the inner tube I bought is definitely the wrong size. I am uncomfortable enough with the rim modification, I don't care to use the wrong tube too. Joe Trapp

If I can pull off going, I assume you guys will be taking I-85 all the way to Petersburge? I can see two choices for myself and others in the SC area. We could meet you guys in Charlotte NC or we can go I-20 to I-95 and meet everybody in Petersburge or somewhere between there and Doswell. If...

You can cut with a torch an inch or so from the surface, if you start cutting near the surface. In other words if you start to cut the corrugated metal where you can reach it with the tip, you might be able to cut the lower parts if you don't loose your cut. You will never be able to start a...

If you decide to use deuce front springs you don't need any more pictures. That's the beauty of it, all you have to do is look at the front of your truck. Official opinion alert: If you have front spring available I think it is the easiest way to do it because it will be identical to the...

Thanks Jeff for that link. It answered all my questions about how all this works. To say any more would be redundant. Joe Trapp

I have seen these type of "isolators" used in many commercial vehicle as well as HVAC applications. Most will have a bolt sticking out of each side. They are used a lot on electrical panels on equipment that has a high vibration factor. These same type of connectors hold the control panel on...

I will have one of Ted's alternators in a few days. I plan to use a 12 pump for my dump (I have one sitting here at the house for free). I have always wanted a good source for 12 volt stuff and I plan to put another 6TL in a box with the pump and wire all that to the 2nd point on the...

I have been thinking of some way to make a set of rims for my truck and thought to myself if there were any tractor rims out there that might be modified to fit these tires. And behold today I was a ditch witch with what would appear to be workable rims. What say the group on the use of off...

Well here's a close up of the springs and holders on my truck. These are from a parts truck and I like the way they worked out. Joe Trapp

I picked up 11.00's, 14.5's, and a 14.00 for $50 each. Some of the 14.5's where very wore and he didn't have many more 11.00's. All of these where radials, xl's I think. If he had plenty I'm sure almost new ones would have been available. He said the new looking 14.00's would have been $100...

OK, you guys got me fired up. I think I will make a "test" rim this week. The only thing holding me up would be an inner tube and flap. That is if you can use a tube in the 14.5. I noticed the 11.00 by 20 tires have stamped on the side that you can use an inner tube. This is not on the 14.5...
