Re: New Tires and Rims for Dump Truck

This reply is late so not sure you will read it. Nice truck! You mentioned the spacing between the rear wheels, I notice you have 650x20 on rear and 600x20 on front. I thick 650's are wider than the 600 tires and am wondering if you tried the 600's in the rear for the spacing. Or is 650 the correct ...

Re: Towing?????

My 31 157 WB has a hitch that is quite heavy duty mounted inside the frame rails. I'll try to get a picture off tomorrow.

Re: Stumped again!

Russ, What kind of frame is your pictures of?? I must have missed your earlier post so I'm sort of confused. The frame members look wide like a AA but the cross members don't look like a 31. + my cross member has slots where the rod go thru from the front (inside) of the cross member.,,,,Just wonder...

Re: Pics of the latest one to follow me home.

I like the truck, and the price. Does it have metal or wood sign boards on the front side stakes.?

I also would like to see the cab insides.

Re: Windshield removal

Re: 28/29 brake help

The early 29's (may) were much like the Model A except for the length of the rear brake rods. They had a AA-2521 rear rocker arm assy. They had 14" brakes in the rear with seperate parking brake and the drum was AA-1114BR type. The fronts were the same as the car. I think you will have to look ...

Re: how much air 650 x20 firestone

This is my personal opinion about snap rings. If you make sure the the ring and rim is clean and free of rust, lubricate the tire with a solution, soapy water or my preference is wd40, sprinkle the inside of the tire with cornstarch or baby powder to keep the tube and flap from getting stiction (for...

Re: how much air 650 x20 firestone

Good question. Are you saying that you have 30 lbs after sitting and they have flat spots, or did you put 30 in after sitting? If the tires are nylon they will get flat spots sitting overnight in some conditions. I looked everywhere to get information on air pressure for 600x20 tires and never found...
