How do you go from the 8 lug HMMWV to the 6 lug M105/deuce/1061 ?

Thanks Wes....very cool. How does it pull with a pickup? I almost bought 6x6 and 5x5 for this same mod up front on mine. Another possibility is to make the bed tilt on the trunion and bring the back down to the stops, making it about 12" off the ground and about a 30 degree angle when up...

I'm building a structure that has room for a 395 and will have a hydraulic winch up high for an A frame rear crane. It gets rotated up and has a steel roof box that will attach and go about one foot in front of the windshield. I plated the frame and made a weld saddle under the structure for...

You did say for a goose-neck, didn't you? What are you going to do with the boom? Sure a ball could be tucked under for a normal ball hitch tounge but gooseneck needs vertical room. Myself, I would consider making an A arm that has an end of boom attachment point, probably using the cable...

No sorry, can't give a comparison. But what I noticed on my M35A3 is that they are nearly flat and look worn. A3's were made from the parts of earlier trucks...which may have included the springs on my truck (so mine may be same vintage as yours, even on a 93). When I have the rear totally...

A great looking truck. Sounds like you enjoyed the build and for sure enjoy the ride. Thanks for sharing....you do quality work! I'm getting to about the half-way mark on my M35A3 4x4 but get distracted way too easy.

I'm with the majority about keeping brakes. To go lower, I use 16" trailerwheels and made this modification to the hitch portion. I put a bolt so I have a lockout. I know they are free backing but the internals of my brake unit were bent, indicating a really hard stop. You can barely seethe...

There are a lot of write-ups on people doing this. Have you searched the archives? Do you have a shop to do the work in? Moving cabs and shortening beds is a lot of heavy work, but you are starting with a good looking 923a2.

Not pushing, just wondered if you had seen them. I came across what appears to be a complete list of hummer models on a vendor tire ad. Wonder what the differences are ? M1025 M1025A1 M1025A2 M1026 M1026A1 M1035 M1035A1 M1035A2 M1037 M1038 M1038A1 M1042 M1043 M1043A1 M1043A2 M1044 M1044A1...

there are some beauties at GP right now." I thought so too. You spend enough can probably get one that runs. Have you ever looked at bobbed deuce's? They are considerably different than a 6x6

So is there any title issues in Alabama on HWWMV. That would make a difference to me if I lived there. I suggested they go for "assembled" since they only seem to sell part of it at the auction.

You seem to have a certain one that you are looking at. Some of the guys here are expert on HMMWV, so they could give you information like years, models, engine and tranny like or not. I do think it's worth spending some time researching. I noticed there are a lot on the auction near...

01Grander....what is your joy? Do you like to work on things a lot.....you have the right hobby. Is riding around and everyone waving your joy? Parades? Car shows? Impressing the zoning people? If they manage to force major inflation, they will maybe one day seem like a good investment for...

I'm a little confused on what Glennengineer used for the pump. I thought it is the Muncie that has a 15 tooth spline but his post says it's 13 tooth spline. My Muncie pump I mounted was a 15 tooth spline so it is possible his pump is a little smaller. I have both the 13 and 15 tooth spline...

First picture appears to be the smaller ones used on the M35A3 that has air assist. Others look bigger. Cracking....I hear that epoxy can make a rather good crack filler or even be used to build large areas back up, but I am not there on my project that needs serious work....probably $20-30 of...

It's not the 6 bolt like the 5 ton uses is it? EDIT....SORRY, THEY ARE NOT THE SAME....DISREGARD.

Don't let grass grow under your feet. They won't throw out the mud as well, but at 95% that is a great deal. I would like them for my M35A3 4x4, but I don't have clay mud, I have sand.

For other deuce owners....the A2 uses a 1 3/8" diameter wheel cylinder all the way around. The A3 uses a 1 1/2" on the front and they are interchangeable (with a slight mod to the push arm length) to the A2 In fact, the 1 1/2 can be put on all wheel cylinders.

sorry, duplicate

Use a copper line bigger than what you need coming from the compressor...it dissipates heat and could go several feet. Most don't use very much air volume, but slowing the hot air down from a large diameter will help to cool it. Those are nice looking tires on the rear. I would keep them for...
