I was looking at some pics of M35s with single rear wheels, it appears that the rear hub offset is different more like the front. What's up with this, can the front hubs be mounted to the rear axle? I did a search with no answer.

Rear hubs can be flipped. Simple, easy and effective.
PS front and rear hubs are the same.

Once the rear hubs are flipped, the front and back axles are the same overall length. Some 4x4 guys run two front axles to have 4 wheel steering.

Hi Craig - good to see you here. You going to single out the deuce? Easy to do....

Maybe it's time to get a built deuce into something like the top truck challenge, like the mog, eh?

I still remember that tranny blowing on the hill......sheesh.

My M715 with Rockwells and that jazz is on page 40 of the current issue of Four Wheeler Magazine in the Editor's top 60 to have the readers vote on to make the field of 10 for Top Truck Challenge.

Oh come on man...when you see a third winch on the deuce mounted on the side where the spare tire originally was, THEN...I'll be showing off. [^]

Hmm..I have single 11.00's, not really "super singles". I think the original deuces were designed for singles.
The bed is narrowed (home made) to 89 inches on mine to better match the track width. And the new M756 deck is only 85 inches wide plus all the goodies giving it an overall width of 96 inches. Curious to see what it will look like.

It's interesting you bring up the part about the bed width. I was quite pleased to see that when I swapped the dropside on I could actuall see the sides of the NDT's under it. ?? I measured the be to find that it's outside measure, not counting hinges, and found it to be 1" per side narrower than a std bed. I'm hoping to better match the trackwidth when I get the big XL singles on. Good eye Bjorn.
