Don't forget about backing up in low TC on a 939 series. Most of the site work can be in low and not worry with the 809s TC. That's one reason to stay with the 809 series. Have you looked into locking differentials?

I was always impressed with the pulling power of my 817. Have you looked into air locking differentials, maybe build a truck. Is deuce out of consideration?

This is an old thread. My M35A3 is mechanical and I think the FMTV is electronic.

They got back but gave no answer.....just a government circular answer .....which was based upon their interpretation of the question as me wanting to sell one to someone in NY, not the same as from the exclusive contractor GovPlanet. Sorry, I didn't go to step 2 as it appeared the person...

Hauling twelve loads of the road milling for top of the driveway. They let me chose the pile I'm being loaded from so I chose the clean, no dirt, few chunks and heavy on the tar, pile. Cost $30 a load....can't beat that. The drive is 1/4 mile. It has 60 tri-axles of ones and twos but not...

Bolt pattern is 8 x 6.5"bc, same as most trailers and old trucks. You can go lower with an axle mod. Myself, I also change to a 2 5/16" ball. Caution....the newer 180mm bc will not fit without an adaptor. If your plan is to keep the surge brake, take the actuator apart and check for bent...

I use a tig torch cover to keep the cables together. It's much nicer than tape.

With your hinge so far forward the gate may drag the ground if in the straight position. Of course you can shorten the chains for making an angle, but stuff can get caught.

It's not the gate, it's the part that folds around and holds the gate , providing a steel surface to keep limbs, or anything from catching the chain. Google m929 and look at the fold around piece.

You obviously don't mind putting some steel in it.....looks heavy duty. I don't like my dump trailer because it only goes to about 45* and it puts the back too close to the ground. Looks like height may not be an issue for you. You may want to make a box that keeps the materials from being...

I wrote a question to DMV in New York. It said, " can a military vehicle bought from the exclusive contractor "GovPlanet" be titled from the bill of sale?"

The A3 makes a good 4x4 and if you have the money, gears (I think 4.90) can change everything on that 1-1 final drive Alison. Add in air lock differentials and front hub locks. From what I read, they can back up in low range any not explode the TC like my 5 ton will. Brakes are a 50/50...

Yes. When I got the number above my memory was that it was (obviously incorrectly) that it was 17. Your post made me go look and it was 13 not 17. I don't know if any state searching titles for HMMWVs will look at 13 or not. Question.....how many digits does the HMMWV normally have?

Yes, you are completely right, mine is only 13 with IND in it. Learned that new today, I always had 17 in m head. I have the county Sheriff office do it. Here is one of mine on a trailer. Still, are there 13 digits on a normal hummer nameplate?

I'm going to chime in on Indiana title. Do you all remember (that read it) a states instruction to use the short vin number to locate hummer titles/owners for making them "off road only" ? In Indiana we can apply for a 17 digit after a police vin check. They assign a new number, most...

I know this is not winch talk but when you mention dependability, I question the use of an A3. The oddball transmission makes service on the 1545 an issue. The 1/1 trans final ratio makes them the slowest vehicle on the road. Hydraulics off the back of an air compressor....really. It takes...

Are you building air pressure? Without it, the air engaging PTO on the back of the air compressor will not engage the pump. Or is the PTO manual? Edit.....is this pump engaging while the engine is running....turning? Engaging a PTO on Allison requires stopping while in gear. How does this...

Air operated hydraulic valve....more proof the A3 was designed by committee. I don't have a hyd front winch, so have some bias.

The power source is a hydraulic pump that is piggybacked onto the air compressor. Myself...I don't like that setup. I don't like the stress that puts on the crank and gear of the air compressor. My solution is a PTO on the Allison. And to fit in the space available, a direct mounted pump...

I have an F600 4x4 boom truck with the 6 lug, like you have. I bought 3 of the m105 trailers with 9.00x20 non directional...which were exactly what came on my truck..... and that were like new. Those times are gone but the tires and tubes are common. I set my m35a3 wheels and 365 tires up...
