Here were a couple more pics of the rim setup.

So I never did post the results on the t case swap in case anyone was wondering. I did get the old style case in the 900 series tractor with minimum effort. Not perfect but it works. For the input shaft I used half of the original and slid part of another shaft on it that matched the t case...

Yes. I’m referring to the center of the wheel. I will try to post pics when I have a minute

For the outside I used a regular 14r20 rim, and cut the spider out. On the opposite side of the same rim I welded the spider and lip from a 22.5 stud piloted trailer wheel. Then took the spider I cut from the 14r20 and using it as a 1/4" spacer, put it on the hub first, then a regular 14r20...

The last 3 have split pulling a load straight ahead. I’ve been looking for a 55000 but haven’t been able to find a reasonably priced one with a known history. I’m planning on picking up an m916 Monday. It has 98 miles on it. I’ll see if that holds up. In the mean time Im just trying to get the 5...

I can do all the bracket and drive line modifications, but what about the sprags? I know nothing other than what I can find on google and SS. I’m gonna open this thing up and see what I can figure out. What I read was that in a nutshell, I have to put air to one side or the other depending on...

Just for the record, I know NOTHING about the 809 series t case. I just bought one today. Would like to drop it in one of my 900 series trucks tomorrow, but started reading about sprags..... this is the first one I have seen. I assumed it would be pretty straight forward but now I’m not so sure...

I just bought an 800 series t case. Trying to figure it out. There are 2 air lines going into what I think are the sprags?? How do I modify them?

Here’s what we do for duals. Works well. No spacers or longer studs. Constantly pull 30+ tons of wood not including trailer. Only ever broke one “modified” rim.

So inch difference In diameter does not put unnecessary strain on the u-joints and transfer case? We currently are dualling up the stock super singles that come on the 5 tons. It takes a little fabrication but it can be done. Problem is, the 5 tons don’t hold up to what we use them for. I’ve...

I’m looking at getting an m916a3. I use these trucks for logging. Plan to fit it with some 28” wide floatation tires. The original tires are 425/65r22.5 and the rears are 315/80r22.5. That works out to a 2” diameter difference larger in the front. It’s a 6x6 truck. Always thought the tires had...
