I was looking at different ways to mount a full size 9.00 x 20 NDT spare tire on an M105A2.
I saw the one field mod where it was mounted over the tongue and said forget that!
Then I saw several trailers where the tire was mounted under a corner of the trailer used an M35A2 bracket but it kind of stuck out a little and definitely hurt the trailer's approach angle. I was looking at mounting it this way when I realized I could fit the tire and M35A2 mount under the middle of the trailers on one of the main center cross-members.
Some drill bits and nuts and bolts and curse words later it was done! It actually was pretty quick and easy.
My trailer only has a service air line. I'm not sure, but I don't think this would work on a trailer with the extra air line for the emergency air because there is some other equipment mounted in this location.
