If you think a M416 is over priced wait to you see what those are bringing at auction.

Its not necessary. It can be bolted, or you can use lift blocks between the axle and springs.

I believe NDT answered your question. If you can get them cheap (or even better, free) save them. Someone may need them for a restore job someday.

Welcome from another USAF guy. (seems to be more and more of us around lately)

Loosen the bolts close to the springs a bit. You may have to use a prybar at the front of the trailer between the box and frame to get it started. Where those two long bolts hold the box down on the frame, its a pretty tight fit there, after you get losse the first time you may have to grind...

I believe the cabs are the same for deuce, multi powered 5tons and the 800 series 5tons. the doors/glass and tops will interchange. From the cowl forward the 800 series stuff is longer.

I paid $100 for this one out of a salvage yard but Im missing the outer frame extensions and one of the L shaped side mounts.

Theres a big, big difference between mud/snow and rocks. Like is said above, you get a wheel airborn then drop it down in the rocks you'll snap that axle like a twig. In the mud and snow it just keeps spinning.

Looks like a bobber with a cut down stock bed. And yes there have been several of them built. Like this one: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/363430-post19.html Or: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/363443-post21.html Or Just start at the beginning of this thread and reas the whole thing...

If you're in rocks the size of ice chests, if you're the type that likes to use the throttle, that 10b wont last long with heavy 37" tires.

If you like the look of the A1, go for it. Buy a spare, they are not to hard to find. There are trailers being surplused out all the time with spares on them.

:shock: Dont let him cut up anymore of the sherman til I can verify what tank this farmer has hidden in his barn.

I know of another "tank" (model unkown at this time) That Im trying to save from the scrapyard. If the owner ever gets around to e-mailing me back with pics and what he wants for it. If he wants only scrap price for it I'll be all over it. It may cause me a divorce (or a few years in the...

Did he Chop (torch it) off or un-bolt it? I need some brackets. If he wont part with the winch maybe he'll let go of some brackets.

If you want to build your own adapter............

You might be right. (I dont know for a fact) but I have heard of guys getting these and haveing the rubber rotted out and the side come loose. It could be that the rubber covers the hinge and if its rotted and leaks maybe the hinges get rusted out and loose.

If its pretty ratty make sure you get ontop of the back and check out the rubber hinges befor you open it up (raise the wings) like the picture above. If the rubber has rotted out the sides will fall off when you try to open it. You cant go wrong with a 5T for $1500

:ditto:or save the pics and wait till the auction ends, then bring it up.

If you highlight the area you want and hit copy, then go to MS paint (I assume you have that) open MS paint and go to edit, then click on paste. Then save it from there. Thats how I do it

Whew... Thank God. (not that theres anything wrong with that:roll:) Sorry it didnt turn out to be anything simple. With the money you got back from the seller I'd say you got a pretty good start.
