So I actually had a T-case I had forgotten about buried under some junk, so added that to the list of trailer stuffers .
So three Diesel engines
Three manual transmissions
Two T-cases
5th wheel ramp
Misc. engine mounts etc.
Got everything stuffed in there, it was pretty tight, didn't have...
So far, the Nissan w/ trans up front, along with two multi-fuel Deuce engines tucked in behind, everything stuffed in there as tight as I can get it .
Not sure I have room for two transmissions and a T-case with less than two feet in between back engine and tailgate .
It looks like plenty of...
If it is bump steer turning into death wobble you more than likely have some well worn steering components trying to deal with old hard out of round tires .
Have someone move the steering wheel back and forth just taking up the play in the steering while you stare at all the moving parts...
Assuming I'm understanding this correctly that it is a bouncy bounce (up and down) problem, and not a death wobble (steering left right left instantaneously) problem, I am going to say it could use some shocks ?
Thanks for all the info, I was probably going to do it anyway out of necessity and because I figured it would take the weight ok, but I do appreciate the reassurance, and wanted to see some numbers .
Off topic, one odd thing I noticed about this trailer when I towed it home less than two years...
M105 Trailer Questions etc.
I am buying back my M105 Trailer that I sold last year, and I am seeking some SS wisdom .
I have (2) Deuce engines, (2) Deuce transmissions and (1) Deuce T-case AND (1) Nissan UD 6 cylinder diesel engine w/trans that I want to store inside the trailer under it's...
So, I didn't actually do anything to it, other than drive it to move my new to me 40' dry van that I bought to store spare Deuce parts in etc.
Does that count ?
It was fun, even if only for a short time ...
Oh indeed it will get fenders, new ones are crazy expensive so I will be hammering out a set of big rig semi truck fenders I have lying around that are kind of rough at the moment, and hide them with green or black paint .
You shouldn't need a puller, just tap it with a hammer and pull it off, if you have to tap a little harder than normal that's ok since you say it's junk anyway .
60 and 70 use the same yoke, both 29 spline .
Go with the U-bolt style yoke as mentioned previous, don't attempt to convert a non...
Adapter for 465 to 208 or 241 is the same
I have a 4wd 465 laying out behind my shop, but it's in So OR and has the 205 adapter, 205s are cheap and strong .
I think I put an insurance card in the glovebox last Sunday and rinsed off the back of it with a water hose today .
Been working out of town for weeks, over it
By converting to shorty 32 spline you now have a 4wd trans so just need the correct adapter, the NP round pattern circle end is the same, just redrill holes for desired clocking .
Should look like this
