    Believed Tire Problems

    IMO the 1600's will be harder to balance than 1400's. The 1600's will need 20 ozs. of beads. to get to the some point as the 1400's with out beads. Just my 2 cents.

    Will these wheels fit a M920? (i think HET wheels)

    You may want to look for a pair of MK48 21" wheels for the front. With 16.00 tires they will have the same outside diameter & they will track better with the 5 ton wheels on the rear.

    Will these wheels fit a M920? (i think HET wheels)

    Yes, they will the 5 ton rim, But the 5 ton rim does not fit the m920 front brake drum with modifications to drum.

    M928A1....to scrap or not to scrap...that is the question.

    Bring it home, check it out, then decide. As noted 928's are worth a second chance.

    M915A1 cost

    M915 a1 is a fine tractor, you will have to judge the of the individual truck, There have not been any on GL of late. And some are better than others, see if you can try the truck out, at the price it does not seem unreasonable.

    M916 and Allison HT4070

    Transfer case location is the same, drive shaft from transmission to transfer is shorter. Oil cooler in fender well looks easy, but requires rad. hook up.

    M916 and Allison HT4070

    I was referring to my M916 with a Allison push button 7 speed. The M915A1 with 11.00R24 will exceed 70 mph. Both trucks speeds were gps checked. The M915 with Allison HD 4500 I have not verified with gps but will exceed 80 mph on the speedo on 10.00r20, and it is move'n on

    M916 and Allison HT4070

    Mine would run about 70 mph before the 53" tires, now it will do a it +. I believe the cost of the HD 4070 SP would make it cheaper to trade trucks. I'll look tomorrow to see if there is any thing moved (transfer case, etc.)
