900-20 to 11-20's on a m34

[wilco]

I would like to change from 900-20's to 11-20's and single rear wheels. Do I need new rims and rear wheel spacers?

RE: 900-20 to 11-20

Do a search for flipping the rear hubs. You take apart the rear hubs and put them back together backwards and the wheels will then all track on a single track. The hubs are one way for duals and the other for singles. you can run the same tires but I think the original M34 had bolt together combat wheels instead of split rims. You can just use the dual split rims for single operation. All you really need is new seals, grease, and elbow grease. I would replace the seals for good measure but you could probably get by without them if yours do not leak now.

I (and many others) have converted to 11-20 singles. Here's one of many threads, just search flipping hubs.

I Ment to say M35 a2 !!!!!!!!!

It a M35 NOT a m34, sorry.
Will the 11.00-20 fit on the 9.00-20 rims?
How much interferance with the bed?
Afriend of mine was a field mechanic in Vietnam, He told me that the first thing they did with the 2 1/2 ton was to turn up the govener, so they would run 70!
( sounds scarry, but if you getting shot at o well !!)
He has since passed away and I never asked if it was the gas of diesel Duces he "tuned"
Any one have any communts?

An M34 has a different bed that is lower but it has wheel wells in the bed for clearance. The M35s bed is mounted higher so that there are no wheel wells. Either one can be dualed or singled. The deuce above has an M34 bed the one in my avatar is an M35 bed.

11.00-20 tires will fit on the stock M35 rims just fine and the tires will fit under the stock M35 bed just fine too. Make sure your tubes are ok for 11.00 tires.
