They use 6 lugs but what is the bolt circle diameter? Will M35 wheels bolt right on or is it a different pattern? A friend is moving one and wants to put substitute wheels on it for the move.

Also, it is probably a good move to remove the front driveline I'm guessing? Check fluid level in the front differential and maybe pack the bearings? Anything else?

Thanks.

Same 6 hole Budd pattern Deuce/Halftrack. Deuce wheel will go right on. Really should put the thing on a trailer to move around on public roads.

ndt is right, move by trailer if possible. if drive any distance, all the bogie need grease, idelers, it would need a complete servicing of oil and grease, also ever thing under the hood, gen. dist. i ruined the tran. on my first halftrack, i ran the engine , but did not check the tran. oil, also the throw out berring need grease too. if you crank it, just to load do motor and tran.

There are 2 sizes of half track tires ! Depends what make you have. If it is a International harvester, they use the 9.00 x 20 size tire. If it is white, autocar, diamond T then the tire size is 8.25 x20. If you have the wrong size tire, you will do damage to your front differential, as the IH vs the rest used a differant front axle.

I am talking about tire size here , not the rim's bolt pattern...

Cheers,

Thanks for all the help. Turns out that it will be hauled on a trailer, the way it should be!
