M416 Help Needed

[amnt]

I am new to this forum and glad to have found it. I just purchased a 1967 M416 trailer to convert. I have it torn apart except for the axle and need to know what size the wheel nut is. Does anyone have that information, I have not been able to find it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Off the top of my head I am thinking the same size as an old CJ3 axle so any of the sites that sell those parts will have the size. There are plenty of the sites. I will try and look it up later.

Have fun and let the building and the photos begin.

Thank you for the feedback. I have reviewed your build. Your trailer looks great. How do you like the powder coated frame? I have not decided if I am going to powder coat or simply spray on bed liner. Hope to have pics up soon.

If I were doing it again, I would still sandblast but probably just spray it myself as it would be easier to touch up.

There are several excellent threads on 416's going right now. A ton of innovative and creative ideas that are free for the stealing. I would read as many as you can so that you can save yourself from pitfalls that you may be thinking about that others have already tried.

•To remove the hubs, you'll need a 2- 1/16" bearing locknut socket (also called a spindle nut socket).

Figured you would get it before me. Thanks.
