That reminds me , I found a contruction company here in NC last week that has 10 of them that run they use to pull graders at contruction sites. They have a couple more as parts trucks . Man id like to have one lol

What would be a good replacement for the 14.00-24 NDCC tires on the M123?

 

[maddawg308]

14.00-24 motor grader tires. Very aggressive tread, but high price.

Might want to see if there is a commercial 24" rim size replacement of a similar size. 14.00-24 NDCCs haven't been available in good shape for YEARS.

I have seen a M123 and M911s with Michelin Radials. XGC tread IIRC.

Grader Tires

We got some for free from the county when they got new ones . They were happy to get rid of the old ones !

I really like the look of the Michelins. I bet they would damn near last the life of the truck no more than you would drive a 10 ton, lol.

These possibilities give me something to start on. Wonder if off road truck tires would work since the max speed on my M123 gasser is 42mph? There is a place in Anniston that has the off road tires occasionally. Would the radials be 14.00R24?

I got a call back from the contruction company , the owner said they would sell. Whats the width of a M123 with stock NDCC's?

 

[123mack]

114"

Got the trailer moved today. It took some doing to get the fuel system working. I had all new fuel lines made, drained out the 9 year old fuel and put new in, I flushed the tanks as well I could, but I'm still going through the primary filter about every 40 minutes of running. I'm sure I will have to pull the tanks and clean them properly. It was a pretty good challenge to move the trailer with no clutch. I had my brother who is a Jacksonville cop help with traffic and my friend Jimmy who has a CUCV Blazer with a light bar on top. It went over with out a hitch.


P.S. Like my tank?

 

[USMC6062]

I thought that thing could hall a bigger tank than that. That's government waste for you.

Great deal.............................have you ever come across a non-turbo deuce that is semi-gloss???? My 1st one went there to jacksonville and he told me 6 months later that he had to move to Hawaii to help his dad and that the truck was forsale.

 

[sodslinger]

Truck looks cool i wish i saw you heading down Beach when u picked up the trailer.

 

[KaiserM109]

Old memories!! I drove one of those in '67 - '68 while on my SE Asian vacation.

 

[M1075]

Those are really great pics. Love that truck and trailer combo!

 

[Elwenil]

Looks like an Israeli Merkava Main Battle Tank wth the turret spun around backwards, lol. Cool rig for sure. How many 10 tons does that make for you Dirt?
