Wondering about making an M105 into a gooseneck. Have you seen one? My under bed hitch on the A3 4x4 is about 10" behind the center of the axle. How about some ideas for using the space in front of the bed as part of the A.
I'm using the M105 bed on my A3 4x4 project and want a strong frame and canvas cover. I salvaged the uprights from the sides in the picture, but they are not strong and a couple are bent where the corners attach. All in all, it seems rather flimsy and going down the road at 50, might not be...
I'm thinking about 16.00's on my M929A2 which would free up the 395's on it for my M35A3 4x4. I've read plenty of threads on using 16.00 but none specific on the M929A2.
First, my 929 is turned way down on fuel and rpm...in fact it's a dog. Governor seems to be set at about 1950 and down...
I'm putting together a camper using a Geithner S-788 box and Dexter axle. For now I have no brakes but I will add hyd disk and a surge actuator later. Box weighs about 600 but steel frame is heavy. Truck brakes have to do for now.
I have an electric enclosure 2x2x6 for front storage and want...
DUST SEAL, INTERMEDIATE DRIVESHAFT
I need to replace the dust seal for the spline (slip yoke) on the TC to first axle driveshaft. It appears to be a hard felt material, has a washer and screw on cap. I can get by with just the seal. It is split on the side because it won't go over the spline...
Have you ever seen a welder/generator running from the output of the transfer case PTO on a Deuce (mine is A3)? One would think the diesel running at about 1200 rpm would be reasonably efficient if you can use the power.
I've been posting on other threads like U-bolt and pinion angle so will bring the rear suspension to this thread, not piggyback on others.
The deuce frame is not cut (bobbed), but I am using an M105 bed (and springs) that will overhang the frame by 3". To center the wheel wells, the center of...
I'm looking for comments about the difference in frame height from the front to rear on an M35A3 4x4 project. How much higher is the rear axle from the frame (desired) than the front axle? I've read bobber threads but can't seem to find a comparison. I'm not cutting my frame shorter. I'm...
I took the headlights off the M35A3 and started to convert (make) a wider housing that has the turn lights on the outside of the headlights AND to limit the amount of debris that can get behind them with a walk plate (diamond plate) that is substantially reinforced and attaches at the fender...
I'm changing the headlight and turn signal lights on my A3 because the side engine panel hits the turn light. I was going to make an entirely new one that would have both inside, but I decided to adapt the ones that were on it. It requires moving them inward on the fender to mount the turn...
Is anyone coming my way with a PU or flatbed that could bring an 809 series hood from Saint Louis? I'm in North Indiana but could meet you at Indy or ?
Has anyone made their soft top? I need one on the deuce and M929.
I'm looking at duck canvas in 12oz and thinking of using black inside and OD outside with closed cell foam to insulate and cut noise. Joints/seams will be glued and have large overlaps. I may have a center seam done by the...
I'm in the middle of a long term project building my 4x4 M35A3 and am planning axle modifications. First of course is removing one and mounting the suspension, I'm using M105 springs and frame mounts and not shortening the frame. With the 105 bed, I have a large area in front of the bed and...
The transfer case on the back of my M35A3, has the 6 bolt cover over the rear of the input shaft, driven by the transmission. Bearings are under the cover, but is there a splined coupling? Is there a PTO that comes off of the TC on a deuce, off the back of that primary input shaft?
I...
Where should an M105 bed be in relation to the back of the frame and pintle hitch on a deuce? My frame is not shortened. Should the rear gate be able to fold clear down and not hit the pintle? That would require that the bed stick 9" minimum past the frame. Should the bed be even with the...
Adding frame reinforcement that will be 3" below the existing plate for using m105 spring and mount. It's 10' so will go to just behind the cab and tie into ROPS/top/winch mount frame. New piece laps to top of frame and is 11x3x1/4"x10'.
