The hub bolt pattern & circle looks like that on my IH 1310, but your stub axle has more splines than I remember having on mine, which looks to ruin any chance of using IH locking hubs. That’s 5-lug, BTW.

I did the exact same fix on mine, and hoped it would quit being the worst-shifting gearbox I’ve ever used. It didn’t.

Those are the ones I have and I think I MIGHT have bought them at FSJ. Been a while, though…

I replaced those slotted screws with some hex-recess ones I got at McMaster, and used a bit of anti-seize on the threads in hopes I can avoid fighting them in the future.

Daytona Parts has rebuild kits for the stock M715 carb. I'm using one now, works great.

An M125 is my bucket-list military truck. Too big to be believed, to me it's the B-36 of trucks. That quality, and the fact that any red light-running idiot (this place is full of 'em) would be a stain somewhere on the front of truck really makes me want one. Someday.

It sounds like your MC bore is too large, and doesn't provide enough force to the wheel cylinders.

The mechanics & implications weren't, and still aren't, my concern; I had some information I thought would be of interest around here & wanted to share it out of a spirit of community. I'll know better next time. It's a ranch auction, BTW-- if you're not there in person, you can't bid. No...

Fair enough, not my loss.

I have learned of a ranch auction being held nearby with several MV's that would be of interest to SS members, but I'm not sure what forum to post in. I have no stake in, or affiliation with, the property owners, or the auctioneers, I just thought it might be of interest.

Being used to that sound, and being able to endure it are two very different things, I found when I put a Hercules DT3.7 in my M43. It was head-splitting loud in there at 65 mph. Earplugs were MANDATORY, even after retrofitting several different types of sound deadener. Never again.
