I have everything but the piston part. I have body, rubber, springs, some the tapered kind and some straight.
You know why the straight ones fail don't you? It's because they try and use them with no steel cup on the end, and instead put the spring directly against the rubber. The new...
I've never heard of them (having not looked). Someone with HEMTT and 16.00 could estimate the outer travel. Since it's a 10" (assuming) the offset would be 5" (50/50). What is the HEMTT and combat? I would like a set of the HEMTT myself for the front of a future 809 bob.
Perhaps you could get a small arch built in. The flat tends to pond bad. A rib down the middle might help. It can't be too high but about anything would help.
I have a couple that I was going to put on a 105, not now. Pmransey pulled his but has dual 11.00 rear (looks nice and wide) above. The 14.5 and 11.00 are the same rev/mile.
Here is the repurposed jack. I kike the heavy spring loaded pin that they use to keep it up going down the road, but don't entirely trust it. So I made a support for its up position.
Either one will work on the back as shown but the front probably needs the HEMTT rims. I would like the HEMTT rims if you decide to sell/trade for 2 more combats.
I guess there is no reason you can't run a mixed set in the rear with what you have.
A search brings this thread up, now. I have to do one side myself to stop a leaker but will do a rebuild in the future. Please post details and parts lists.
Tire size makes a difference in my opinion, because the torque is so much greater. On a dump, I don't know about you, but I back up on my load and use the gate to push new materials I dump. I got that habit with my 817 but the 929 has an intermediate (t-1138) shaft that wants to climb the...
you will have a slightly narrower stance with the HEMTT rims on the rear, thus I like to keep the combat with dish out on the rear. With 16.00, better use them on front. Sent a pm about a trade.
I really like the older style body with the 16.00. And if people here are right, there is not...
My $.02 is to put dual 11.00 on the rear and get 2 A3 wheels to put 14.5 on, on the front. Will work the way you have it but the cl of the tire is not close to centered on the wheel bearings.
I think the 1061 is the largest a deuce can/should pull. The 1073 being too heavy.
Here is my 1061 getting 6' longer tongue and jack relocated and a bunch of other changes. I hope the m35a3 4x4 is just right. Most pulling my trailer will be by m929a2 dumper.
The HEMTT is closer to the center line of the rim by a noticeable amount. That means the dish out will be several inches narrower track on the rear than using combats with large offset and dish out. On the front with dish in, the HEMTT is a couple inches wider track.....looks good but I don't...
That is going to put less dish out on the rear and be setting narrower on the front than if the HEMTT wheels were in the front. Can you get 2 more combat wheels to have the combat with dish out on the rear?
Yes and it's been on here before. They look huge but fit. I had discussion about running them dish out too and hub modifications to get the load on the bearings right with dish out. Someone did that, but I don't recall who.
My fav on a 105 is bolster or 1061 rim with a 37" HMMWV Goodrich...
You'll probably need quite a bit of reinforcement of the bed. But there seems to be room for a scissor lift. Plan for at least a 50* dump angle or more.
I'm about decided to use chain sweep in the bottom, 30" wide. Unfortunately the material could form a bridge inside that I must deal with. I ve thought about auger or some moving arm or steep angle funnel sides, and most seem to place more mechanism in the way, while taking space that could be...
It certainly makes a difference if you haul a load. Buy the tires if their condition is good as an "investment" that you can probably resell at profit if you don't use them. Be sure to store correctly, out of sun and relatively cool, if you don't put them on right away.
