Good tip. I have been using some black goo by the same company to dress beeds and )O Ring with soap + Mussel to break apart/ lube rim 1/2.

Got it! You all also have the best pictures too. Thanks.

Cool and will do. Thought that there could be a Trick, like those pre cell phone kids puzzles. I recall the one where you have a steel ring trapped between 2 horse-shoe shaped pieces and you have to get the ring out. I am getting faster at tire mounting otherwise. A young man's sport... thanks.

Full rubber bead lock. Middle photo. 1 piece Super Single "rubber Ring", with an "air Groove" only. I wondered if I squish it flat-ish if it would bounce back to round, or if I do something silly I may mess up a bead on an expensive tire. Cool photos, thanks.

Thanks! Figure I'd stand on old Bead Lock, bind it with twine or wire, and work it in. Just common Bead Lock "donuts"- bead size, not Run Flats...

Hi all. I'm gonna sound like a bonehead here- Other tires I bought (Super Singles) had bead locks inside. For "bare tires" , do I squeeze bead locks inward , then install- pry ,tire beads wide to put in bead lock, or both? Lastly- can I reuse bead locks "almost forever" if they look OK? thanks!

Got it now. Those sand tires looked interesting, but unsuitable. Glad I asked though. Looks like original 14.00 20's now a crap-shoot. Bought 2 last year. Probably should have bought 4. Live and learn. ...

Have a 925A2 5 Ton. Can I sub the above tire size for the 14.00 r 20's? 14's are getting older, but I don't want to buy 7 now as only 1 or 2 are in need of upgrades. Thanks!

Nice tip as to PSI. Was 42,XXX Lbs gross. Carry tools, chains + full tank. Sounds like tossing treads, like a re-cap, IS the failure mode if I am reading the other comments correct. I do that $25.50/ ton Lime Stone run once or twice a year. First run on this tire, and first Blow Out. Put on...

Official- 9.83 short ton. 60 PSI x 6. Mine looked/ looks bit better than yours, but basic idea . Remain surprised as basically "thru a retread" look. My bolts Did Not come out of axle cap. Touched axle center and estimate 130 deg, above warm tarmac. Lastly- looked much like your aft one pre...

Hard to read any codes as neighbor used saws-all to cut tread so it could be pulled out of way . Maybe 2007-8-or 9? Tread was about 1/2 and no visible cracks. This is my only truck with this scale of tires. Thought "tread-skin" delamination a very odd failure when not a re-cap! Tire spent...

Hi al , have An A2, M25. Hauling some limestone and blew rearmost Goodyear Super single. Dislike changing them road-side, loaded. Anyway, Heard air loss Hiss- no "pop". In 100 or so yards tread completely separated, like tossing a recap, only tread stayed in a ring. Is this normal...

Lot of good info here. PLAN- Have 9 Volts now out of 2 panels, in series-part sun day. Ordered # Xh-m411 Dc-Dc adjustable booster. Will try to set it at 29-30 V to feed my 12V-24V "controller" I have- attached at 24 V via an inline fuse. Don't expect to "light Manhatten", but may get a solid...

Thanks again guys. I failed to consider the BOOST controller thing. Think I bought a 12/24V "Charge controller " instead, and assumed it needs a feed over 24 (26??) volts. Will look for the thin "hand book". New to "solar" and "solar terminology".

Very cool! Glad I did not toss my Panels. I tried mine with an aftermarket "box" as my truck came with 2 panels and no "box-brains". Didn't work. Think I just need to now find a good OEM "box" or 2. Thanks.

Thanks for replies. I checked, and both combined do not put out over 14V before converter thing on a bright day, so I pulled my fuse so as not to be a drain. If they are a gimmick, I'll just forget it. I thought they may be a good idea as batteries are now pricy. Good to get insight...

Hi all. My 5 ton A2 was USAF, had 2 cowl solar panels- about 5 1/2" X 4 1/2"each . Would like to change them- low volt output now. Were they a local- base thing, or a regular part that may be available surplus? Bought truck at local auction, so no history. I bought aftermarket "inverter" to...

Thanks All. Truck has about 6,400 miles- 360 hrs. Changed big one with oil. Think I'll leave the little one for now, drain + enjoy.

My GUESS is that the little one was general spec by engine maker. Military may have said - "not good enough", and kept proven bigger.

I have the little 8.3. After servicing the large filter, I thought the little guy is getting a "free ride".
