lower50's, thanks for the kind words. With the 2500HD all towing needs will be handled for now. When I get my shop fully going, I'll build an old COE with a 6BT/Detroit/Whatever, and do my baby Roadranger. I was trying to figure out a way to dual up a regular axle without too much trouble....just doesn't seem to be in the cards without a lot of hassle. So my plan is to run a 29/15.00-15 or a 31/16.50-15 on a 12" wide wheel out back...just want the deep look and some extra tire.

Thanks! The MF 8 will be a fun project, I can't even imagine how many hours I have spent on that thing as a kid mowing. I'm not sure why it was parked, but they are pretty simple to work on, and there are still a lot of parts available.
