    M105 axle assembly to accommodate dish-out combat wheels

    Yes, in fact. It's actually the M105-A1 vs. M105-A2 brakes. (not what I first wrote in post #19, which I have just edited) TM 9-2330-213-14&P / OCT-1990 shows the differences quite clearly...

    Equipment trailer for m1070mo

    Gents, this is NOT a WTB ad. Let's discuss the technical aspects and possible solutions, here. No offering - no selling, please! Thank you.

    M105 axle assembly to accommodate dish-out combat wheels

    New, corrected info: the wheels on my trailer actually are 16" x 5.5" lockring-TT and have a backspace of 7.8". Clearance between the inner rim and the (Deuce) brake drum is about ½". And the total width measured between outer tire sidewalls is 97-½". Again, these wheels/tires are mounted on...

    Front Axle Spiders Failing?

    Just to clarify: there is only one such sleeve, and it is located in the spindle.

    M105 axle assembly to accommodate dish-out combat wheels

    FWIW, this... is the wheel you want (not at that price, of course...!), if/when you choose to go for dual configuration. I have an old equipment trailer here (farm-use only; made out of a Deuce frame with stock rear suspension & axles) which has eight of those wheels, running on 7.00R16 "Ë"...

    M105 axle assembly to accommodate dish-out combat wheels

    No, that would be almost 93". Because on a Deuce axle, the difference is only 9.75", hub flanges out vs. hub flanges in.

    M105 axle assembly to accommodate dish-out combat wheels

    Yes, that can be done... Just keep in mind that your lug nut holes are chamfered on the outside, only - so there's some more work involved. The original M105 flange-to-flange distance of 79" would then be reduced to 68". But, with 14.5s on A3 wheels - dished out, the resulting overall width...

    M923 Transfer Case upgrade to Oshkosh 55000

    If you still needed any HEMTT driveshaft parts (U-joint; slip yoke, etc...) I would gladly donate them, for the cause of this interesting project.

    Stock tire size

    Loaded radius of a BFG size 9.50R16.5 tire: 14.5" Loaded radius of most any brand size 265/75R16 tire: 15.0" So, what else was done, besides swapping tires/wheels?

    Original seat belts M35 Series Trucks?

    That's correct. Maybe I should have said "late 80's stock seat belt kit - upgrade"... Covered in TM 9-2320-361-20P & -34P, from 1993, LISTED under SPECIAL PURPOSE KITS.

    Original seat belts M35 Series Trucks?

    Just be aware of the fact that most of the seat belt kits to be found online aren't exactly the original kit #12301438 for the M35A2. See it described in TM 9-2320-361-34P, Fig. 296 and then compare with the pictures in the ads.

    Cracked Bolthole on Block for Starter

    I'm not saying that it is normal for a starter Bendix to stay stuck in the ring gear; quite the opposite... But these cheap starters just seem to have that bad habit. Easy to confirm (if you have a problem or not): barely hit the starter button and if it remained stuck, then just move the...

    Cracked Bolthole on Block for Starter

    I tend to believe that your main issue is that after just cranking the engine - but no start. the Bendix gear stays engaged...?? But not, after the engine actually started and ran??? From playing with these engines for a while... I'd say that on most of these 100-Dollar gear reduction starters...
