M-135 engine / trans weight

[Tony]

I have just aquired a I beam hoist. The existing wheels on iit are shot and I'm planning to replace them with 6" swivel lock wheels. What I would like to know is the engine weight / tranmision wight so I could attach the proper weight rating wheels, I know the approx weight of the cargo body, so I have that figure. Would like to out on adequate wheels if I have to remove the engine.

Hey Tony, what model of ring mount is that?

 

[Tony]

J Land,

I think it is a M-36, was talking to BMG parts in Anaheim, Taken detail photos, will show to them and confirm, no data on the ring nor the trolly that holds the M23 Cradle. When talking to BMG parts , Steve told me that the trolly was a difficult thing to find, guess I was lucky..The trolly and its bearings were frozen when I received the unit , its working pretty well now.

I've seen some trucks with the ring mount and posts, but no trolly or MG on them.

Is your M-135 operational? Is it fully restored?

Tony
