Oops... forgot for a moment that the M939 hubs can't be flipped... So in order to run these wheels "dished-out" you would have to 1) make sure the wheel hub flange fits into the recessed area, 2) drill and tap a hole for the valve stem, on the opposite (inner)side, 3) plug the original valve...

That's a Michelin 14.00R20 XZL, mounted on a 20x10", 2-pc/20 bolt aluminum wheel, having a 10-on-11.25" bolt pattern and (estimated) backspace of 10.5 to 11". So, YES, this should fit perfectly on a M923. G.

Those wheels (and axles) pictured are from the FMTV's. They have a 10-on-11.25" bolt pattern and will fit on any of the 5ton-series trucks. G.

Had those somewhere, but couldn't find that info, so I needed to take some measurements first... I just edited my drawing above. Let me know if you need any other dimensions. G.

Me ? Yes ?, What, where... ?? :-) See if this helps, Joaquín. G.

Was that question ever asked before, here...?:-? I just googled for "1/4" Brass Compression Sleeves Ferrules, For 1/4" O.D. Tube, online" .... One possible source would be this place... They have the inserts, too. G.

:ditto:

You HAVE to leave them out if you want to go the one-piece-wheel route! There is no way you could mount a tire on such a wheel, if it still had a beadlock- or runflat insert inside. G.

Don't know about Marsh but Longs only has (or used to have ) 20x11 shells which they use(d) to build their one-piece wheels. As for backspace I would recommend anything between 8-9 inches. (Front-back tracking would not be an issue since you flipped the hubs.) Basic dimensions for such a...

Recommend using gloves... (they are HOT!) :-P G.

I'm sure you will feel- more then see- the difference. Been there; done it, more than once... ;-) FWIW, I pulled the valve covers off today and measured the actual cam lobe heights, 1) on one 0-hours, rebuilt 5ton-LDS465-1A; 2) one very low-hours LDT465-1D; 3) one LDS427-2 with less than 2...

No preload there!! Should be 0.1-0.3 mm endplay, vertically. Read again on page 10-40, steps 1 to 3. G.

May I recommend some good reading of this excellent thread? Start with post #94, down to post#121. G.

I've had good luck with Hansen Shipping Agency in Marietta,GA. Contact: Ana Villanueva. G.

Glad you found by yourself where the leak originates. Now, to replace that small seal... and don't forget to post results. G.

I finally had the opportunity to visit 59apache's AO and check out this great build, in person: excellent design and workmanship, really; better than what the pics are showing. My compliments, Jürgen!!! Please don't forget to post pics of the jack mechanism you built, which enable this shelter...

It should be a 1:0.79 (O.D.) ratio. Easiest to confirm: put in 5th gear and count 1 eng. revolution to 1.266 prop. shaft revolutions. Most accurate: remove top cover and count the teeth... G.

Gimpy, I hope you put a return spring on the IP's accelerator lever, before starting it? Without it, some engines will run wide open! That happened to me the first time I ever started a new (rebuilt) Multifuel, still in the crate. G.

I'm deeply saddened. We lost one of our best... and way too soon! Rest in peace, Tigger! G.
