I went out for a joyride and it started on first push. When I stopped and restarted still no issue so it's definitely an intermittent slipping/sticking thing. I'll try to take some time to disassemble in the next week or two.

My deuce has been getting worse over time when I start it. As long as the batteries have been sitting on the maintainer, it does it way less, but is becoming more frequent. For a while it would not do it after running for a while or if it was fresh off the maintainer. So... here's what it's...

Mine would not drop and I had to remove a couple of bolts from sides of the master so it would slide into the rearward hole to get it loose. Instructions are in the TM and are solid but I didn't see any part about the bolts on the side in the TM but with those off it came right out. Read here...

Well... I have a little envelope with studs I found that are super-close to the original and grade 8. One day, I'll get this little task done. Order of operations currently is: singles, intermediate axle brakes, driveshaft swap, battery tray and driver tool box repairs, turbo manifold bolts...

I REALLY like the 12.00R20 Michelins on there! I'm still planning to do this but with the new job, I've been buried!

Yeah, I can't seem to find 90%+ tread in xzl that are more recent date codes. A lot of sites are listing but don't actually have them or only have a couple.

Ok, since I seem to be all over the place in this thread, let me make it more clear. I like the 12.00R20s and since I can run those on the stock split ring wheels, I am going to go that direction. As I have 11 wheels, I'll pick the 7 best, clean them up and paint them, then mount the 12s after...

Thanks again for the answers. I'm assuming I still need tubes and belts given the OEM wheel? If so where is the best place to buy those?

I searched youtube and on here but I'm not finding a good how-to for a rear hub flip. Anyone have a link?

Thanks! So let's assume I want to go with 12.00-20s in XML/XZL singled. Or is the goodyear 272 still made? From the picture above it appears these have been singled on stock wheels. I guess I could go that route and save the money on the wheels? Flip the rear hubs, mount them using a cage...

Did Feltz tire go under? Their site for feltz tire south here in texas has been down for a while and I just noticed their main site is now in some kind of "default" mode by their web host service. They haven't returned either of my emails from the last two weeks...

I guess the michelin XML/XZL in a 12.00R20 would also work on the 20x8.5 beadlocks and be just a little beefier. Given the width I'm sure these would be fine as well singled. I see some 2013+ date code floating around in 90%+ tread...

Thanks! I'll keep looking for the correct wheels in stock. I thought the same thing -- i.e. the width but then a user asked the same question in the comments and they say 20x11 which is why I was confused... Q M35a3 wheels are 11 inches wide. Is 8.5 a typo? A nope, its not typo, we talking...

These are m35a3 wheels that bolt right up -- I believe. There's only one of these types of wheels, correct? I am wanting 395 85 20 or 14.5R20, whichever I can get newer, cheaper, and most tread for. I'll need 7 so I have a spare plus the tires, of course...

I'm going to try one from tramec sloan as they are USA made it seems. They are a little bit more expensive but I'll try just one. I really feel like the ones I got are just a bit slow even for just getting the water out. I can see the mist when I pull it but I feel like it needs a faster...
