My co-worker and myself (both High school "Welding Instructors") are going to convert my M-105 into a dump trailer.
We are planing on removing the axle, wheels and springs and replacing it with a tandem heavy duty axle system & leaf springs to go with it.
I am also getting rid of the landing gear and replacing it with a 3"x 3" vertical manual crank.
I am planing on selling the axle, wheels, tires and springs.
Can anyone tell me what those items would sell for?
Does anyone have any suggestions, ideas, thoughts on what we are going to do.
I am new to army trailer information/spec's and what is out there.
Are there wheels that I can swap out with the ones that are current on the M-105 that are smaller in Dia. and will still fit the bolt pattern?
If so, I would consider just doing that and using the current axle.
I would also remove some of the leaf spring as I would not need all of them for the loads I would be carring.
This would also lower the height of the trailer which is one of the things we want to meet.
We can figure out the load cap. on them as needed.
I will be towing it with a 1/2 ton and do not plan to load the trailer with anymore than approx. 3,000 lbs.
Thanks
