Thanks. Kenny and I were in touch yesterday. As you said, he has rims only. I'm fishing around now for info on what other tires can be safely mounted on them, and then trying to figure out if there is any savings in height or $ to make it worthwhile. Gunzy, it is an odd look due to the...

Wow! I looked at that thread and completely missed the wheel type. For some reason I took them as civvy replacements. Didn't note the bolt pattern. Now to find out about alternative tires, tubes, etc. Thanks. Steve

I've seen a lot of the posts on making this swap but I can't seem to locate any photos. Could someone post some or point me in the right direction to find them? And if someone knows the 1061 rim width for tire mounting, that would be great. Wondering about downsizing tires to something like...

Dug around and re-found this thread. I'm wondering if there are any updates, esp. a permanent mounting. Thanks. This is great. Steve

That's the info I was looking for! Thanks a lot. Steve

I can't seem to determine from the TMs how the axle section between backing plates is constructed. Illustrations suggest that it's a hollow tube with pretty much nothing inside. Can anyone tell me if that's correct or if not, describe the innards or post a few photos? I'm thinking of reusing...

In one of the links I found, it said that 'M56' referred to the base chassis, and that was sent to various manufacturers for the purpose-built boxes on top. That would account for the variations in appearance that I saw in images. I got the distinct impression that much of it was basic...

Well, I'm a geek for a living and have absolutely no qualfications, so there. My point wasn't who makes them. Half of mine are HF. My point was and always is - use a safety or backup of some type. :deadhorse: There's lots of room for spare cribbing or jack stands in...

I know it's really none of my business but after seeing the photo and guessing what those grey jack stands might be, you might wanna peruse this recent thread. www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?143564-HF-Jack-Stands Steve

Welcome from NNJ. I hope you'll bring it to the Gilbert show. Steve

I really wasn't trying to go after HF. My repair shop bought a couple of the steel floor jacks some months back and like them a lot despite beating the crap out of them. I think it's fair to say that performance is uneven at that price. Honestly, I'd safety anything if I could afford it. I...

Don't wanna start a HF bash up, but . . . I went to pick up an air compressor last night and while we were loading it, the seller noticed a HF jack stand in the van. He cautioned me and recalled using a set of Chinese-made stands some years ago. Apparently due to a bubble in the casting, one...

Is this the place you're thinking of? http://www.google.com/maps/@42.1374979,-73.9215479,5095m/data=!3m1!1e3 Steve

Drop Art a note. Last I heard, he had some. Steve

Perfect excuse to buy an M818. Proceed. Steve

A couple of us were going through this thread this week and we wondered how the plywood has held up in the weather over a few years. Steve
