I would expect that this speed limitation is not relative to the gear itself, but rather the big rear doors in motion, the speed brakes that they are. If the gear were down and welded, and the doors closed (front door removed), I expect you wouldn't have any issues exceeding 140 MPH. Think of a Cessna Caravan...the main gear springs look very similar actually between the Skymaster and the Caravan and with the Caravan they are always out there in the wind. On the Skymaster, however, whether any of this would be legal is another matter, of course.
