    I could make out the 676745 on one of mine and called the regional rep for Spicer to see if they are still available or if they have a superceded number and I believe there is a rebuild kit for them. I will post info when I here back.

    Aluminum wheels

    I looked through the information you found and it's pretty interesting. I didn't see any actual part numbers or NSN numbers that would help us chase down the special nut for the hollow threaded CTIS stem. I can machine it from scratch but it would be a lot of work to make a few.

    Aluminum wheels

    I think you hit the nail on the head. I worry about the flat seal...I wonder if the military version of the nut has a flange with an o-ring groove? One of my wheels had the back o-ring still in it. I grew up in my dad's machine and Welding shop. My brother runs it now but I still have access and...

    Aluminum wheels

    The hole next to the ctis valve has a o-ring groove around it on the back side that seals against the hub. The threaded ctis stem that comes through that holes gets the cap nut that must have another o-ring or some type of seal at it's base. The stem has to have a hole drilled into the side of...

    Aluminum wheels

    I picked up a set of wheels for my 2001 M1078. The fit is perfect..... I heard they are from a Himars rocket launcher. Oshkosh made the chassis from what I can figure out. Has anybody figured out where to get the o-ring and the cap for the CTIS that looks like a big acorn nut. The wheel and the...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Nice setup! If you need another battery maintainer in the future......you might check out the Noco G7200. It has a 24V setting in wet acid battery or AGM for your Hawkers, plus a host of other great features. Spendy but good'ol Epay has some at a fair offering.

    What to drive on a 18,000 mile trip?

    I think I will look at the unimogs as well, I have commited to buying a 2001 1078A1. I am fly out to drive it back this Saturday. I like the thought of the American Made! I have never looked for a Unimog, what can one expect to pay for something in good dependable condition?
