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...
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...
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"...
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...
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?
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.
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.
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...
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...
