Dang rims are rare as hen's teeth. I have 4 and am looking for more. Looks like the only way to get a complete set is to buy a residue truck from GL

I let a 927A1 go last month that had a full set. Final bid was $2550 I think. It had potential. There should be a better supply as more and more of the 939 trucks come out of service.

Whhhhhhhhughhhhhhhhhh.. Chugga! Chugga! Been remodeling a old farm house built in the late 1700's, bailing hay, and trying to get these tires mounted.. Finished up the last two today and mounted one more to the truck.
I think I found my wobble problem too.. I had some bad vibration around 45-50 MPH.. Thought it was either a bent rim or a tire out of round.. But! This truck must have been stuck in, or broken through blacktop at one time??? ..

It had tar/blacktop squished between the backplate and the drum on the rear deul tires.. It was caked on the back side and set up... I took a zero degree tip on the old power washer and removed it.. This must have been the out of balance issue..

OUTSTANDING.............!!!!!

lub and more lub is the ticket........they're not really a big deal once you done a few.....and they seem to go faster with each tire mounting.......

The truck looks super fantastic.......

Yeah, I liked it a whole lot, but some big bidder liked it even more. He bought 3 other 939 trucks in the same auction.

The one I was talking about in the post above was an Army truck in PA. The 927A1 in SC went for $4000+ and it needed a lot of work.

I was already bidding on them when you sent it.

By the way, looking good, Lane!

I found 3 more from a fellow member in FL so I now have a complete set. I am going to sandblast them all and rebuild them with fresh paint, valves and o-rings.

Man someone has there panties a bunch !! I could not do the last one because the dog ate the valve stem...Bahahahahahahahah..

It took me two years to round up all this junk in ways I could afford.. They wont be on the wrecker long though.. They are for the M51A2 but it still has a sick motor.. Talk about "hens teeth"! That would be a good LDS 4651A..
