Deuces are great but the 5 ton 939A2 series is way more user friendly. Cummins 8.3 turbo is a modern engine and the allisons in them are reliable. If you want to haul wet seaweed, put a lift on the bed. A 923A2 cargo in great shape can be found. 929A2 is good but the beds are small (and...

Need bolster wheel(s) and hummer tires for trailer....maybe take off from a parade truck 50% . Need 2 hummer Goodrich tires and wheel 24 bolt for trailer.

If I can dump the air on a front axle while turning, it would help some. I'm going with 3 since I have 2 axles and all of the wheels, even a couple spares. Nice 395 or 15.5 should work great. Ebay (Rod) has 90% GY tires for 150. I'm not so fond of the layout with materials offloaded in...

Here is the bed/trailer project.

This thread will have my new trailer project tagged on for now. I dug two air ride axles out that fit the above wheels. They are rated at 23,000 lbs each, so two axles can easily hold it up, probably one. The Michelin 15.5 m1076 PLS tires would seem perfect for either the 10" rim or expanded...

I'm tagging this picture on for Wes of a wheel that may work on the salvage trailer. The black one has the 11.25 bolt pattern and the yellow is from sand trail 450 wheels. With a little work at the oring, the yellow ring will fit with the black wheel body and make a rim that is 12" wide...

No x2

Take a look at the bead thickness difference of the 16.00 and 14.5. That much extra may be toooooo much for the A3 rim....not enough bolt clamping force.

Jbulach, I'm in sand. For floatation in my field, you couldn't beat those 450s. How do you find they do on the road? My trip is 30 miles one way. I don't really want to get into oversized load (wide) but could. Above is 31" tall tire vs the 450 at what, 46" ? Maybe using the above...

Thanks Tim. Yesterday it hit me, why take all of the frame off the new bed off and mount the chain on the 1061 when there is a full frame in place and in addition to fixing damage, I could add 2 axles and have a complete second trailer. Luckily I had not mounted the engine or done anything...

Yesterday looked at a wrecked truck, nearly new, with a 20' bed that self unloads to the middle for hauling animal bedding (wood shavings like I have to move). This was a near $200k truck but has extensive damage at several spots, especially the left rear corner of this fancy bed. Luckily...

Mine is not military but I'm quite happy with my 5 hp single stage Ingersol rand with 60 gal upright tank. I usually install a two stage IR in jails with pneumatic locks, but they sent a single stage. I kept it and ordered them a two stage. I didn't think I would like it but with the...

I like the 105 because they mount outside of the frame and give a wider position on the axle. It's the same spring....and trailers have nearly no wear unlike springs from a deuce front. Deuce front is under the frame, maybe 8" narrower. The angle of the rear shackle matters for quality of...

I'm not sure who you are asking. Here is mine. The block has about 5* angle and a drain hole in the middle so water will drain from the bolt nut/washer.

A tire buyer told me yesterday that the Goodyear MV/T tires are holding up (not cracking) a lot longer than the Michelins.

Cracks progress at a faster rate if mud is not cleaned off, especially in the early stages. I'm using waste synthetic oil on mine to help keep the rubber hydrated. Seems to help. I had a set of GY AT2 that had become egg shap too...still had great treadbut suffered the CTIS disease.

Has anybody seen these big Sand Trail 450 tires used on a vehicle? I know they will not fit on a double axle rear deuce due to front hitting back (like the 14.00). My 4x4 has room in the rear but a big worry is front rubbing. They are very close to the diameter of a 14.00, so any info on...

For road use, go for the thinner. Front on a rock crawler mud bogger .... would use the thick ones. I'm assuming thicker results in more pressure against the rubber bead to hold it in place. G....are there thick and thin beadlocks used with combat and other 10" wide wheels. I have some in...

One weighs 37# and the other 29#.

If you don't want to ruin a perfectly good spline hub, consider making a blank to cover the bearings. Use the dished head to an air tank, readily available, and weld on a flange.
