Comment on bone-yards. I saw a man take auto's apart, inventory them and put them in old semi trailers set up to make any part retrievable and protected from the weather. I could see doing that with a military bone-yard. Setting outside with trees growing up through is probably not going to...

Not sure what you are asking, but the deuce axle gearing is very high, like 6.72, so it's difficult to get safe highway speeds.

I have a friend that has an M1089 that has the crane removed but winches and boxes are still in place. It runs and drives, they say. The owner has health issues. I would make into dump truck but finances are not available. Long frame and very well reinforced. North Indiana.

The Allison 1545 used in the M35A3 has a lot of issues with clutch destruction, I think comes from locking the converter. They should have stuck with the 545 and no locking converter. A3 is doomed to be slow with 1:1 final...so now I want Eaton 6 gears and sell the rebuilt 1545. This is a...

It would be nice to get this and wiring diagram to a printer for larger prints. Like 18 x 24".

Had person on FB that seemed to know, said the M105A3 wheel is 10" wide. Is this the same rim? As the tires they have are 10R22.5 and the tread appeared about even, I believed him. Is this the M105A3 wheel? edit. The link has one with ruler and it's width is about 7.5". It link does not...

Dave...there is now way for me to buy new rims at those prices. If I cannot find salvage, it simply would not work. I'll stick to the M35A3 wheels and put 395's all the way around or stick to tube rim for the back.

I cannot find the Isuzu 22.5" wheels. Have you found them or any other Budd that fits the 6x8.75"? Someone mentioned the M105A3 wheels for the front, so I'm looking for some. I can get a tire with some "float" for steer then. They are supposed to be 10" wide.

I'm quite happy with my 1101 welding trailer mod. And the rig was repurposed too.

Brakes, height and ring limit their (A1 and A2) usefulness. Might bring more for the parts if you're patient. The A3 with surge has solved one issue, brakes, and the height is not quite as bad. I have the Isuzu 19.5 duals that lowers to 30" and just stays under the 8'6". My last purchase was...

I would not go full air bag. I'd use springs (lighter and different mounting) and air bags for load adjustment.

We have a company that makes roll off containers using a lot of steel seconds but has hit a wall for orders (none). I have the idea of making a conversion for a 931 or 923 that looks like the bed of a 929 and is a complete unit that is ready to set on the frame, a lot like the existing bed...

Maybe the 22.5 are 8 1/2, the 19.5 are 6 " and only like 31" tall with 6.0 tires. Anyway...try Isuzu

What did you find when you dropped the pan and filter? Was there a gritty feeling to the fluid or little aluminum balls in the old fluid? The clutches in these tranny's, particular 4th/reverse have old seals that leak and won't hold pressure on the clutch, then the slippage causes heat and can...

Somebody made the comment on FB that the FS 5306 a could be made overdrive with gear changes. Anyone confirm that ?

Boneyard has a C6500 with a Cat 3116 and FS 5306A but not FSO 6406a (overdrive) Eaton-Fuller. So I will try to buy the flywheel, clutch, housing and continue search for the FSO (overdrive).

Looking for information about mounting a Fuller FSO 6406a or 8406a to the Cat ?

I'm bringing this up to see the current thoughts on going to a Spicer 3053 in my 4x4 M35A3 project for it's high final gear. All 4 brake cylinders are 1 1/2" on the 50/50 system, so brakes are not an issue. 395 GY rated to 65 mph. Anyone have low mile Spicer?

Use a sheet of plastic or good foam. I had one that had arced a lot. But it won't go through plastic. Bed spray for the coating.

Thanks. It happened about the time I stopped in this thread, so has had some recovery. I refuse not to use it. Arthritis is bad. I did get the A3 on the axle as the above photo shows.
