    MUtt Wheel??

    I thought all of them had this reinforcement ring for the center plate?:? I just did some work on a stock, Stevens-built '67 M416, and the wheels look exactly as in the pictures posted by the OP. Same as all the other MUTT steel wheels I have seen so far. G.

    What kind of wheel is this?

    Most likely for one of the few MRAP-variants using 16.00R20's. It is not a HET wheel, for sure. Read this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?117394-Need-help-identifying-this-rim G.

    Brake Pedal Travel and Warm Hubs

    If your pedal doesn't feel soft/spongy at all then you may want to check your brake shoe's adjustment again: Lift both sides of each axle so the wheels can spin freely. Then get a 11/16th box wrench, choose either one of the top adjusters and little by little "open-up" (the shoe) until you start...

    MUtt Wheel??

    Yes, that is a 16x4.5" steel wheel. Could be from a M151 MUTT or M416 trailer.

    M105 axle spindle size

    Well, I didn't say that fast...:smile: BTW, a Multifuel crankshaft @ 2800 rpm has a similar linear (tangential) speed, where the seal goes!

    M105 axle spindle size

    The "shaft diameter" - or sleeve in our case, where the seal rides on - is said to be 3.25 inches (to be confirmed), so the circumference there is 0.85 ft. That means that the hub (with its seal in place) is allowed to spin up to 4,235 rpm. Which is equivalent to towing that trailer at "only" a...

    Time for new super singles. Need some wisdom.

    Wish I could answer that one... but I don't have any of these near me, right now, to closer inspect them. This may be a question directly for the Michelin people in Greenville, SC (1-888-622-2306). There should be some kind of distinctive code or number, I guess. If ordering new I would...

    That is correct: NSN 2610-01-552-5577; 395/85R20 Michelin XZL L/R "J" (Catalog #54331) shows 33/32nds tread depht. (appl.: Cougar FPII; RG33; RG31-A3) NSN 2619-01-572-6017; 395/85R20 Michelin XZL L/R "J" (Catalog #94675) shows 26/32nds tread depht. (appl.: MaxxProDash MATV MRAP) G.

    Flatbed HMMWV Trailer?

    The M116A3 is basically a "small flatbed trailer", not considering the fenders. The bed is 8 ft long x 7 ft wide, and if necessary it could easily be extended a bit, front and rear. G.

    Mating transmission to engine - rant

    Forgot one thing: be very careful with putting too much grease inside the pilot bushing cavity!

    M35A3 rim and tire weight.

    Yes, for most custom built wheels, using a 20x11" 1-pc rim. Not the stock M35A3 wheels, though; these are made by Titan, typical military heavy-duty, tubeless 2-pc, bolt-together wheels. Very heavy!

    Mating transmission to engine - rant

    1) Calm down and finish your cold beverage...:) 2) Your transmission seems to be in NEUTRAL; put it in 4th or 5th gear, so the input shaft will turn.;-) 3) What did you do to exactly center the clutch disc?:???: G.

    Wheel Cylinder Rebuild Issues, Re-use Outer Seals

    Can agree with that - after having (with the lathe) turned/cut down/modified so many cups and cones to desired shape and size. G.
