MEP 804A lug nut size?

[zebedee]

Just won this 804A genny on a 2.5tdual wheel trailer. Picking it up Wed with a car trailer but will have to pull the outside duals to get it between the fenders of the car trailer. Anyone know off hand, what the socket size for the lug nuts?

Thanks.

If you still need this info I have one of those trailers at home and can check tonight.
Also need to check if they are RH or LH threads on it, I don't recall.

Should be 1-1/2 and yes on left and right hand

Thanks guys, but I kinda sorted it... almost a disaster...
Fortunately I took an 1 1/2" socket, finally got RH side off, but split the socket trying to do ANY of LH ones on left side.



They (Richie Bro's minions) almost wouldn't let me pull outer wheels off, on the property, but saw that fenders would have collapsed with out. As I could only get off one wheel and didn't bring enough dunnage, I improvised...


Even though this looks a little suspect, it was well stable and secure. Didn't get harassed on the 5 1/2 hr trip home, nor any odd jesdiculations from passing flatbedders!


1500 Ram didn't complain too much.


Only got 1 click on rear ratchet straps when I checked after first 10 miles.

Trailer TM. Its a very robust trailer.

You want to see sketchy! Imagine 2 power plant units ( 4 generators ) mounted on 2 M10A3 trailers, landing gear dangling off the ends of a 21' tag along, 9 hours, PA through NY to RI!
You wouldn't believe the looks I got!
Your setup looks perfectly Legit!

What brand of socket split?
Was it an impact?

Just letting you know I live 1 hour away from Letterkenny and have picked up many items. I have even picked up items for others for a delayed pickup.
I also "flat towed" several gen trailers without an issue. Those military trailers are heavy duty.
