O-ring for wheels

[willy]

I need to find some O-rings for M35A3 20" wheels
Does any one know where to get some O-rings
I know erik has them but 12.95 for 1
I was hoping to find some a little less

Those are less than a tube! I guess you could take your old one to a "seal shop" and find out how much one would cost there.

lol...12.95 isnt that bad...80 bucks for all 6....Just wait till you have to do wheel bearings on that A3

Smokewagon66,
I already have found out about wheel bearings. Erik is asking 930.00 per BRG
I have 4 sets off Timken A2 bearings with me and 2 spindles if some thing goes wrong I am all set.
For now I am using a3 bearings without the seals and no air going true the bearings
It was simpler than changing it all over.
I have bought the change over but they have Toyo Brg I like Timken Toyo are good for a emercency or loaning them out

See...lol. 930$ thats why I prefer old school stuff. Much simpler and cheaper and most the times easier then modernized stuff. If you changed yours then thats good...900 bucks for a BRG is fraud waste and abuse from the govt carried over to the private sector. And I dont mean the people we buy from, obviously they pay alot to get it to supply us, but whoever designed and made them for the govt was ripping somebody off....imho anyways.


for your A2/A3 hybrid lol

Does any one know the size and shape off the O-ring in a M35A3 wheel 20"
There seems to be price difference galore 12.95 to 17.00 dollars for a O-ring
I do not mind paying for stuff but some times it feels like we are being used.
A O-ring should cost no more than 5.00 that size

Smokewagon66,
I talked to Timken (via a timken dealer) makers off this BRG they are out off stock
It takes 4 to 6 months to make a run off 100 brgs and cost you prepaid $450.00 per BRG and a nonrefundeble deposit
So if you want to have a CTIS system running you will have to pay the price.

Must be a different Oring than I'm familiar with. A while back, a SSer found a stock of Orings for the M35A3 for $7 each plus shipping, and tons of people jumped on it where he was able to get a large order in to get that kind of discount. I bought a few myself, just in case, but don't need them anymore after selling my M35A3.

Anyhow, I opened up one of the packages for you to measure, and it looks like its a 60" circumference. Hope that helps.

Sale pending.

The o-ring for the A3 is the same one that is used on the M939 turcks.
It is a 5mm o-ring. I just changed one on my m923A1.
Erik's in CA has them. Or you may try a truck tire shop.
