Let me know if you can't find a pulley, I'll try to remember where I ordered mine, believe it or not it was from an aircraft parts supply place out of new York, I searched it out by nsn online, showed in stock, it was not cheap, of course I later got one for free. If you can't find one I can...

That Detroit don't take a lot of juice to roll over, I also just run standard car batteries. My flavor is Duracell cause they were on sale at Sam's club. Any standard m series alternator will work, deuce, humvee, 5ton, but the pulley is hard to come by. It is unique to the goat, I have a spare...

Thanks for the advice, I'll give that a try

I don't think DUKW was tubeless, should be same size, just having a hard time finding 1100.18 tubes, seem to be extinct, would a 900.20 do for a while I wonder?

I have had tubes in these tires for 2 years, they really took a set, when I take the tube out they go right back.

Problem is getting my nos tires expanded enough to seal on the rim. Even though they are new the sidewalls are collapsed down from being stacked for decades. Maybe after I run them for a while they will resume their former shape and I could go back tubeless

Can anyone recommend a source for tubes that would fit goat tires? And size? Not having much luck searching, thanks

I'm away from my tm's at the moment, so don't have access to the p/n.

Check with seller m35a2hippityhop on the evil bay, He sells for red river, I thought he had some listed before

I didn't know that either, I googled Sankey, still making wheels but owned by another company. They were the first company to produce a one piece steel wheel, prior to 1910, can't remember the exact date. Wasn't the t case produced by an English company as well?

Some wheel prep here, gonna try to get at least 2 mounted today

Have you got any tires mounted yet SGM Harper?

A couple of my wheels are stamped inside Sankey England, never noticed it before , also most of the wheels in my pile have no stamping at all. Were these early goat wheels? Later wheels made for the Army in Europe?

Tires are home, loooong trip to Austin and back to my house but made a small weekend vacation out of the deal, got 5 decent used tires, good to go on the back of the goat or for spare tire. Big thanks the G744 for letting me have them.
