Those are LT so they will handle higher weight and pressure. 30-35 normal loads ok and you have wiggle room to pump up when carrying a heavier load. Your limiting factor in my opinion is the tube. Is it a radial tube? Did you put flaps in to protect the tube?

Yes, you can replace the rubber seals. Not sure if those are fmtv or combat wheels. Probably need to check dimensions.

They are out there on ebay and Oshkosh https://www.oshkoshequipment.com/products/detail/281/1783/Combat%2DWheel%2DRim%2DValve%2DStem I have fmtv rims on the front of my 5 ton and combat wheels on the back. I used large bore commercial stems on the back as I do not plan on rotating. My spare is...

I am guessing a field modification for an amber warning beacon light is my guess for the switch. Welcome to Steel Soldiers. As a kid I lived in Rome 1971-1972. Wish I had been older.

You need to post the pics of the base data plates or pics might help. Most hmmwv have as3900 mounts but you can have older or newer harris models?

I use spray foaming kaboom mold and mildew cleaner on vinyl covers here in the sub tropics :sneaky:

Ibis Tek IR/halogen light bars were installed in some MP trucks on the front windshield that also had flashing blues. Some slant backs also had a rear facing 24 inch light bar in the back. I have also seen some gun trucks with light bars on the turrets probably field mods. These were probably...

If you have wet cell batteries, pop the caps and check fluid levels. Batteries could be boiling over needing acid/distilled water mix. There is a simple ball float hydrometer tool to check acid water mix.

Yes. Radio mount on a fender mounting bracket. Also newer style antenna mount tower. Sometimes there is a reinforcement plate underneath the fender for antenna tower. I would be interested in the tower and plate if you have no use.

Can you post pics? Ibis tek light bars were used on some models.

Looking at the pics again, looks like there are other treadplates & frames along the fenders on the inside so I am back to a special purpose support truck. :cool: Would be curious if it has other data plates in the bed. Also has 2 of the fuel/water older can mounts on the back right seat...

Also noticed it came from the European theater with the red/yellow stickers required in Europe and it had the combat ID panels on the back fenders that are removed in demill but the brackets left. Also has the extended tailgate mounts as maybe there was something mounted in it. Shelter carriers...

I viewed 100 trucks in mobile that all came from red River earlier in the year almost all m1097 flavors before they were cleaned up and listed. Most in good shape that were supposed to be recapitalized/rebuilt and were not. Issue is that they sat and got cannibalized and crap thrown in the...

There is 2 flavors of 5 ton combat wheels but they look identical except the studs are either 5/8 or 3/4

My guess would be to put a vacuum gauge & pump on the small hose and see if it holds the low pressure when pumped up. If not, I would assume the diaphragm is broken.

Yes, flap protects tube and minimizes pinching

The 4 hole flange plate on the back with collar has at least 2 variations on height. Since you have the mwo add on plate for extra capacity, it is taking up some the slack. The flange plate is where I would consider removing material safely to shorten

I looked at that post and website and it was very interesting. Only thing my feeble brain could not wrap around was the hmmwv rim half studs and nuts are not beveled seats so if that is now the point of attachment on the new adapter plate how are they "true and centered" Maybe at these speeds...

Is there a spacer or collar on the original one? can you post a pic of the complete pintle assembly?
