    M200A1 springs strong enough for bobbed deuce?

    Ah well, I just haven't seen the data plates to examine that closely, yet.

    M200A1 springs strong enough for bobbed deuce?

    By the pictures I have seen, they look like they would go on fairly easy. But I haven't seen the best close up pictures to know if they will be an easy swap. Gimp, where did you get that rating from?

    deuce tire questions.. READ PLEASE :)

    Hmm, put batteries under passenger seat. Move fuel tank to where the batteries were. Take off tool rack. Move axles forward until the tires almost hit the cab while articulating. Chop rear frame off for no overhang. You going to run a flat bed? Or cut down a 105 trailer, a lot? Like mentioned...

    M200A1 springs strong enough for bobbed deuce?

    10k total lbs for a bobbed deuce. Give or take. 60%, or so, of the weight rides on the front axle because of the engine and transmission. The 200 trailer weighs around 2400 lbs on it's own, plus the off road capacity of 5,000 lbs. Do the typical military thing and double it for on-road ratings...

    Ah well, my wife loves them. So she is no help in getting me to stop. She just wants to make sure I don't spend ALL our money on these MVs.

    M200A1 springs strong enough for bobbed deuce?

    Looking at the M200A1 trailers that are rated at 2 1/2 tons. Would these springs be good enough to use as the rear springs for a bobbed deuce?

    Actually, on my data plate it says M109 A1-(Multifuel). Never really paid attention to that part before, but it's right there in front of me. 1963 for the year, and mfg serial is 164391

    trailer dolly

    Man, I have only seen a few come across GL in the last few months. Not a common one, and the few I have seen were not close to me. I would also like to get my hands on one to move a few things around when the time/need arises.

    OK then, it's a M109A3. It has the LDT-465-1D with C Whistler turbo.

    Choices are easily made though. The 69 is my wife's truck (will be restored for parades, club meetings, etc.) The 109 will be my dad's radio shack (Ham radios, etc). I will be selling the one without a top soon. And the one with a cab top only is mine. So, I get to drive MY truck when I want ;)

    Started 11 years ago with my first M715. Just a good time lately to get some bigger OD Iron ;) The A/C unit has a space below it. They had duck taped some slats below the unit to block the weather out. Believe it or not, it is in good shape around that. But I haven't given it a FULL inspection...

    No credit cards (I used my bank card, so no credit involved). But I did end up spending the money saved up for doing some work around the place for winter. I sure hope it doesn't get TOO cold this winter :|

    Oh yeah, I DO have a problem. NONE of these trucks have a winch!

    The first step is to admit you have a problem...

    I was figuring it was updated to the A2 status with the exhaust and bigger engine. It still has the electric horn, sprag transfer case though. Not sure what else were considered upgrades that would denote what level this truck is at. Either way, with the newer motor, this truck moves along well...

    Oh it's a problem all right! The problem is I don't have a 5 ton yet. I don't have a wrecker yet. I need some trailers! And the last few times at the lot, I have been drooling over the M900 series trucks just sitting there!!!! Personally I don't think the 12 step program means you have 12 of...

    Well, I just drove the latest truck 360 some odd miles home the other day. M109A1 is the latest to join the herd. The others are; 1969 Kaiser M35A2 - full cargo top 1971 AM General M35A2 - cab top, has cargo top, and I just got the cargo bows! 1971 AM General M35A2 - no tops yet

    Mushroom Clamp Use

    I have clamps on all three of mine. I keep them tight enough to stay on, but loose enough I can grab the thing and wiggle it a bit and slide it off. It also works as a stop to keep it from completely sliding out the hole with the side cover in the up position.

    New "in the can" motor

    RE: Re: RE: New "in the can" motor Yeah, he does seem to 'know' a lot of people huh? No complaints from my corner either. Hmm, For that much I think I would just buy another truck! Not a bad price though, considering it would be NEW.

    running on mil-prf-83282 aviation hyd. fluid

    Yeah, I found it odd that the alcohols and such were having such high numbers like that! But I know that alcohol race cars need higher powered spark ignition sources to run that fuel. I had always thought it was because the air/fuel ratio is around 6:1. But maybe the fuel itself is part of it...
