Thank You!!Yes I'm sure, 89 turns up nada I checked it both ways, fella that helped me said 88208 was a valid number, cleaned the old bearing a little more, easier to see now.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

Just a disconnect/shutoff.This quick disconnect on the brake line between tractor and carrier, does it serve as like a proportioning valve? Or does it just shut off the flow of brake juice when disconnected?
Today I painted my rims for the new recap tires I bought a while back, got 3 of them swapped out on the truck. I checked the rims and all 6 were marked Sankey England, 5 of them an A/71 stamp, 1 with a G/69 stamp.A couple of my wheels are stamped inside Sankey England, never noticed it before , also most of the wheels in my pile have no stamping at all. Were these early goat wheels? Later wheels made for the Army in Europe?
I got the other 3 on the Goat today, while working on the rear end I noticed the shocks were made in Canada.....may as well be since the rims are from England.....guess I didn't realize we did that much out sourcing on US built in the 70's.Today I painted my rims for the new recap tires I bought a while back, got 3 of them swapped out on the truck.

I wouldn't know about who made what parts, betcha GamGoat1 might know...he's the only "Goat Whisperer" I know. I have however given a few parts I was working on my own personal pet name as I busted knuckles or couldn't reach something, thought they were all made in HE double toothpicks.I didn't know that either, I googled Sankey, still making wheels but owned by another company. They were the first company to produce a one piece steel wheel, prior to 1910, can't remember the exact date.
Wasn't the t case produced by an English company as well?
From memory the LVT history page at sgaama tells of a change from US to UK transfer case, heard a rumour it was Bedford sourced but never been able to confirm. Sounds semi legit as Bedford were GM owned.I wouldn't know about who made what parts, betcha GamGoat1 might know...he's the only "Goat Whisperer" I know.

I have multiple strikes against me for working / operating these beasts. I'm tall, uncoordinated anyway, fatter than I should be, old and broken up: I have considered charging for admission for people to watch me ass-in and un-ass the vehicle. Watching and listening to me work on it would have to be rated R minimum and not for small children and those with weak hearts.Ain’t gonna lie; I absolutely HATED working on those things. You need to be a acrobatic university trained contortionist just to climb in. The brake hydraulic system; flippin nightmare.
You are a gluten for punishment. God Bless you Sir!
