As far as I know, the 4.88s for the SUHD axles are very hard to find sets of.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Can Randy's even make a ring gear that big?All the thoughts are greatly appreciated. I will not be hauling hay. Well if I do haul hay its not the only thing I will be hauling. It is honeybees I will be hauling with it. To get a military tractor for a fraction of the cost of a commercial tractor seems to me the way to go. I can put in an air ride seat for me and well whoever wants to ride shotgun can suffer!
I run 5.13s in an FSuperduty I have and it sounds like it wants to grenade at 70. 60MPH is better for that truck. My 5500 does well with it's 4.88 gears in it so I would think 4.88 gearing would be fine in the tractor.
Why are 4.88 hard to find for these axles? Would this be a special order thru Randy's Ring and Pinion?
Is that air ride on the rear or helper bags?I posted in this thread about getting stuck in wet grass and well here we go. Today's little mess.
Hold my beer I got this, lolProbably wouldn't have had that happen if you had some Firestone T831s on there.
Air ride? In my dreams. This girl is bone stock, Hendrickson walking beam rear suspension.Is that air ride on the rear or helper bags?
Must be a filter I'm seeing in the pic.Air ride? In my dreams. This girl is bone stock, Hendrickson walking beam rear suspension.
You're probably looking at the air dryer (black/grey) or the brake chamber. (Green)Must be a filter I'm seeing in the pic.
So this would only be a 20,000 mile a year truck at most. 2 to 3 round trip runs on east coast for long hauls. Other than that, it would be just local putzing around. Do the M931s select in and out of 6*6 mode?I drove line hail 2 1/2 years in the 101st. M915s will get stuck easily on wet grass, never mind mud. The ride bobtail will definitely bruise your kidneys. If offroad is more important I'd consider a m931, they are harder to get stuck and can do 60-65. Otherwise I'd look more at a m916/m920.

Yes they do, on the fly even.So this would only be a 20,000 mile a year truck at most. 2 to 3 round trip runs on east coast for long hauls. Other than that, it would be just local putzing around. Do the M931s select in and out of 6*6 mode?
