Is this an A2 or A3? Advice is good

[93C-fuhl]

The data plate is not readable. GL listed this as an A3. I need to figure out if I can do the axle conversion myself. I am towing it with my lifted FJ Cruiser but of course it's still dego'd quite badly. When i was in the military I had to pack bearings once a year but that is about it as far a my experience goes with wheels and drums and the like.

So any ideas if this is something i can tackle myself or do i let the people that know what they are doing handle it?

Thoughts? Help?

Newbie of course here. Thanks in advance.

Not a A3 for sure. Might be an M105 or M105A1 with only the 1 air line. Whats the data plate say?

Big bike wheel on landing gear unless changed out says it's old, probably A1.

As far as changing the axle out to civy, no problem.

Just order a 5K axle with electric brakes and your life will be easy.

You might think of removing at least half of the leafs while you are doing the axle swap. Those M105 spring packs are enormous.

I am jealous of your view, BTW. I can't wait to get back West in a couple of years.

it's either a slick or an A1, the one air line plus if you look under it no air tank.

Probably -A1. It has the newer style covers over the wheel bearings so we know it's not an XM105E3.

M105 or M105A1!
The single air line is the yellow one and acts on a diaphragm air cylinder which actualtes a master cylinder. This hydraulic master calinder actuates the wheel cylinders and so the brakes. The system is simple, reliable and hopefully not overbraking (Most of the cases if your Deuce or 6-ton is in propper order with tegard to the brakes.
A M105 simply is to massive to be towed behind something smaller than a Deuce.
