Time to think creatively

Thanks for that info Tony, I hadn't considered the offset.

re the wheel-nuts, the M151 does not use tapered (conical) wheel-nuts like just about every other normal vehicle in existence, but rather flat faced nuts. But the threads will be correct for the cone type nuts. Then again, you are just putting wheels on to move it short distances. It's not like you are going to try and do something crazy like a-framing it home.

If, when the time comes, you were to repack the wheel-bearings, and remove the 4 axle prop shafts, (and install 4 good and proper tires and rims) you could theoretical pull it home with a towbar and a set of lights, but that is out here on the prairies. Between the QPP and the OPP, I am not so sure they would agree. Much easier to just use a trailer.

Interesting details about the studs and nuts. My other M151A2 might need some replacements, and that flea-bay link is good to see.

I've heard back from a fellow in New Brunswick who commented on the original FB posting. I've asked if he could take possession soon so the seller doesn't back out on me. That will give me (literal) breathing room to work the provincial regulations. As more Canadians get their shots, the provinces will have to allow some normality to resume.

Rob, my current thoughts are to push, pull, drag, winch the carcass onto a flat trailer so wheel bearings and axle shafts won't be a highway issue. Then get pointed down the road at a leisurely 55 mph causing as long a traffic back up as my conscience can manage!

The deal was agreed and the money transfer sent, but the seller decided I hadn't been fast enough so he sold it to someone else. Bad faith negotiating is not cool!
