    M105A trailer

    Hi Jim, What all is left? Is the axle included? I need a second for future tandem project. Is the jack there? I expect it will be after you return, for PU. Thanks,

    Title or SF97 Form for HMMWV

    It sure would not be hard to expand that to all military vehicles. Thanks, I had not seen that.

    Title or SF97 Form for HMMWV

    I completely agree each state is different and some much more complex, and some methods to get around them sound a lot like fraud. I'll take it you have answered that California does require an SF97 and that the method of BOS with police vin check is not a legal alternative.

    Title or SF97 Form for HMMWV

    How many of you have went in with a BOS and a police inspection form filled out? The only truck I got an SF97 was my dump because it came from GSA and sales tax was due. There is no info on an SF97 that is not on a BOS (including tax paid).

    Title or SF97 Form for HMMWV

    You don't need an SF97. Get your title off the bill of sale. I've done that with all that I bought and resold.

    M35A3 wheel beadlocks

    Im glad they work for you. I think the Michelins start off rounder and more in balance but don't have any GY to compare. My point about the bead locks is theoretical ....why so much compressive force when some people run quite successful without them. Sure, no airing down for sand without...

    Funky steering

    That space allows some flex of the primary spring and is normal. What doesn't seem to be right is the wheel back spacing. Also, running 395, did they change the castor angle on the spring to axle block? It should look flat. If there is an angle....needs changed/milled. Give us some side...

    1971 Bob build

    Use an M931(A2). It's the short frame length, so no frame cuts needed. Study the rear suspension, use springs on the outside of the frame and put air bags for a load. You can vastly improve the ride and when you hall a load on a trailer, have the air already in place for trailer air brakes...

    Those with A3 rims that don't leak... Clamp ring tightness

    I think we are using too tight of a bead-lock.

    M35A3 Owners unite

    I replaced the valve stem with Haltec big bore system and can change the stem from the outside for dish out on the rear and dish in on the front. It won't hang up on the inside and they seal fine.

    New Member, New M 817 Owner

    I was having fuel problems too (929). Not only changed fuel filter but the fuel filter can gasket and o-ring on top of bolt. Seems to have solved a long problem of losing prime. Fingers crossed. I loved my 817 and it looks like someone made yours a work truck with sides and cover. Good...

    M105A trailer

    Doubt it. Use barrels and some long boards to hold it up while pulling out from under and pulling the deuce under it.

    Super single or duals?

    Not a budd, you need a Combat rim that is 10" and a beadlock. Wes has some and he's not too far. He probably has the Michelin XZL , which has 12,300# rating...higher than some same size. Edit....check for heavy version of the wheel, I'm blank on name

    M353 Welding Trailer

    The 105 spring is also the same as the front of most deuces. Will be interested to see if it's the same.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    When you have just the right block, find a handy place to keep it where it cannot get away when you hit a bump.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    No CTIS and tires are about 65. The XZL loaded up like a set of 177 (pun intended). At least with the trailer unhooked, I came out forward under my own power, once going. This was intended to be a joy ride through the field for my wife and her women friends. They probably took some to remind...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Found a wet spot from all the rain (5-7") in my field and stuck it (929a2) pulling the 1061 trailer. Looked solid. Low range reverse...had to use it but very gentle. Since the truck was about a foot lower than the empty trailer, I could not get the jack down to unhook. I went for the...

    M353 Welding Trailer

    The spring pack on a 105 has 11 leafs plus overloads. Weld trailer, with the size welders we have, could loose a few. I'm lucky with the 1101 to have torsion and shocks.

    Are there M35A2's around that were repowered with M35A3 drivetrain.
