    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the 676745 on one of mine and called the regional rep for Spicer to see if they are still available or if they have a superceded number and I believe there is a rebuild kit for them.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.

    Might be the same ctis valve. Is there a Spicer embossment on the valve? Part number?

    Sure does, where did you find I called and emailed Hutchinson today. The lady the answered the call in the military division said she would have someone get back to me about the o-ring and capped nut. Crossing my fingers.

    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.

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...

    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...
