Ok thanks!

Been a while since my last post. I'm finding it hard to have time to work on this project as much as I would like to. I put a new angle grinder with a sanding flap disk to good use yesterday on a small section of the frame. (Safety goggles and a Dust mask are definitely a must when using this...

Oh I'm sure I'll need those parts too by the time I'm done with the thing haha!

Sweet! I think the part you are talking about is for the rear but I do see that they have a greasable designed bolt for the front that looks like the one I broke. Part #384228. Thanks for link to the site and for all your help!

Well guys I think I might have screwed up big time. Tuesday night I was attempting to remove the shackle from the front of the leaf spring. It's the 7/8" Hex head bolt with an alemite fitting on the end. I removed the cotter pin and the nut. I was un aware that the bolt had splines and put an...

Ok thanks! The bands aren't really in that bad of shape. My main concern was just cleaning all the gunk and rust from in between the leafs themselves. I'll check with a shop and see what they say about replacing the bands. Thanks for the advice!

Question about the leaf springs I have a few questions. I would like to break down the leaf springs so that I can sand blast, prime and assemble them before the final coat of paint. I am worried about the bands (circled in the attached pic). Has anybody had any experience tearing down leaf...

Well I have managed to break down the trailer frame after a few busted knuckles due to rusty bolts. I've cataloged all the bolts in ziploc bags so that I can replace them with new hardware when it comes time to assemble again. Funny thing, the nuts on the u bolts for the trailer toungue...

Update: I've managed to get the tub removed from the frame. Frame is in great shape. I plan on breaking down the frame this week and I'm going to try to sandblast it this weekend. I sprayed some pb down the cables for the parking brake and found that it still works after all these years. Thought...

This past holiday weekend I was able to get alot of the dirt and crud out of the tub. I might not be able to salvage the floor. It has very heavy pitting. In fact, the metal strip that covers the front drain plug broke off when I hit it with the shop vac. I'm actually affraid to use my pressure...

Thanks guys! I appreciate the help. I'll check out Jeep Panels Plus. Don't think they have a site anymore but I did see a number on here while searching earlier today. Thanks maddawg for attaching my pics! Can't wait to start working on it! :grin: Thanks JB for the info on the diamond plate...

After alot of searching and placing calls today it seems nobody makes a replacement floor for the M416. Hope I can salvage the one that's on the tub now. If not I'll just install a new floor. No worries

Hey guys, Got a steal of a deal on this 64 M416 trailer. A guy was going to turn it into a cattle trough and I just couldn't let that happen. My goal is to completely restore the trailer to it's former glory. Gonna be a long road but I think with the info I can get from this site and some long...

Haha yea no kiddin! She seemed to think this was a good deal on the trailer. Maybe she will think all of the finds are good deals!! Your right down the road from my grandparents. They live just south of Opp in the Blue Springs community.

Hey all, Just thought I would introduce myself. I'm new to the forum and this looks like the place for me. Looks like I can get alot of questions answered on the purchase I am making later on this afternoon. I've found a M416 trailer that I'm saving from certain doom. The guy was going to make a...
