Yes. G.

Not the other one he mentioned.... (and should not...!) G.

Cab tub, doors, seats, WS, dash W/ instruments & switches, lights and wiring harness, steering wheel and upper column, complete engines, PTO (parts), winch DS, etc, etc.... I could use all that to nicely fix and upgrade any old M35!:) G.

Don't rely on catalog specs. For reference, the actual O.D. of a 395/85R20 XML with 75% tread left is approx. 45.5". G.

Nice! But.... where's the HEMTT wheel? :p G.

See the XZL specs chart below... only two sizes are MPT type. 16.00R20's are not. G.

:shock: just noticed that blue part..... must be some kind of a photo-shop trick, OR...... ???? (No more such photos please!) G.

New kingpin bushing, what does that do....???? No, install helicoil or go to 5/8"-18 thread/ bolt. Or replace the whole steering knuckle. G.

Could have been worse... G.

I'm sure you mean less backspace for the HEMTT's... The A3 wheel/tire centerline runs over 2" inward compared to the same for a HEMTT wheel recentered with a 1/2" plate, mounted inside. G.

Just saw this last weekend at the Unimog museum in Gaggenau... :drool: G.

Got to love those Contis... a very good option when it comes to replacing original, overaged A3 rubber. The size actually is 365/80R20. G.

Possibly a broken tooth. Remove the top and take a look at the 5th gear set. See this post here https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?14128-transmission-noise.html#post192673 G.

W_S, lots of info here... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?15916-power-steering-deuce-3.html#post488815 G.

Nice work! [thumbzup] Column from a Gama-goat: that was m35tom's suggestion. Air bleeding the system should be completed after only a few times steering full right/left. Best if front axle is jacked up while doing so. The system will not develop its full power if you still got air trapped...

If still in doubt..... (pic) G.

YES, everyone doing what you did... See this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-up/62093-stud-length-rear-axles.html which has this link: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-up/51124-m813-wheel-studs.html G.

I suppose you already saw my post here?: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/32924-14-5-xl-rear-tire-harmonics-2.html#post354685 Same over here, for anything over 35"/150lb !! - which implied doing it in my own shop... and with very good results so far! G.

Poly-urethane adhesive (search for Sikaflex 221 or equivalents). X-many uses like car/ truck body repair as well as marine applications, sea containers and therelike. G.

It may not be that heavy but yes, much more than a stock 20x7.5"wheel + 9.00-20 tire which comes close to 220lb. In addition to it, if you decided to retrofit an A2 with 14.5 tires/11"wide wheels you better do balance them, before. Even if you are not planning to go faster than 45mph.... G.
