Now that's a piece of info I didn't know about. Thanks. Now if the prior owners had just left it there instead of taking it off and stuffing carriage bolts in the holes . . . Steve

That sure isn't a DRMO paint job. I like the lunette set up. Steve

Well, now hear this. The USS Ling's museum has a Bofors and I have an M103 trailer. Before too long, both should be under restoration, then Haze Grey and Underway as a parade float. Any of the guys around here who read this are more than welcome to come 'n play. Veteran's Day will be a...

www.MillerTire.com shows a couple 8.25 x 20s. Worth a phone call so see if I overlooked something. Nice people. Also, Google suggests: http://www.powerkingtires.com/Content/powerking/catalogs/TBC-CommercialCatalog.pdf. I did find some x 15s if you can go smaller. Steve

Great! Wasn't rusted in there too bad, then. Steve

I have exactly the same situation with mine, a '51. Nice to have company. I have a B1 cab, a '51 frame, and a hood from sumppin' or other. And it's all Army-done. You can tell by the consistent condition of all the pieces. We talked to a couple of old-time motor pool guys about it and they...

Or . . . they are rust-welded into the stake pockets on the bed. The tabs don't do anything unless the stakes (posts) are loose. Then the tabs keep them from popping up and out. Ignore the tabs until the stakes are wiggling freely all around. Pressure is fine and it can work but if they're...

I just got some Navy grey mixed at HD this week. Just took the Gillespie number off the Rapco site. The guy didn't think he could do it but he learned something. Steve

I posted in the 116 thread but I'm not so sure my fix for that would be my choice on a 105. I'd go the penetrating oil route for a good long time; I'd use a 2x4 to cushion the impact of banging on the bed sleeves where the racks insert as well as the rack posts, but I'd use a tall Hi-Lift with...

If you look closely at the 5 position part in the PDF above, it looks like it is designed to push straight back on the piston regardless of the lunette position. If I was gonna do something like this and didn't want to change brakes and axle, it looks like a very good choice. If I could do the...

Very nice looking trailer. What's the winch used for & what kind is it? Been looking at several myself for other purposes. Steve

"...I just picked up 2 more complete winch models last week..." I'm wunnerin' if we might have seen them nearby these parts recently . . . If so, I'm glad to know where they ended up. Steve

I like to take a high-Lift jack. That comes in handy for lowering the lunette or any number of other things. Also, check the hubs after a couple of miles. And for cryan'-out-loud, make absolutely certain that the rear stabilizer leg is pinned or wired up REALLY SOLID -- and that the leg...

Prolly the same guy who put grease in the TM. :razz: Steve

I'd think that the bow metal is too thin to get a good push going from underneath, similar to the reason it tore when you jacked it. I also think that you gotta not only soak over time but work it as below. I wouldn't be surprised at over 2 weeks with a bow. Longer might be necessary. My M105...

Very, very nice. Steve

The link to one of the auctions for a lot of 6 should be about # 3 or 4 on the Google search above. You can pick up numbers from that auction. Don't know what the site's search term would be - 'winch'; 'crane'; ??? That one's closed so it might not come up on the site search engine. Steve

If you Google sm-f-974715 you'll find a page with the following pictures. Judging by the lot this one came from, they left GL at $70 - $80 ea. From there . . . The mfr page for the 4022PB is http://www.thernsales.com/hand-winches-spur-gear.html and the manual for it is at...

Keep us up to date on your new truck. Welcome from New Jersey. Steve

Could you reload those pictures? They don't seem to be coming through. Thanks. Steve
