Nice! Thanks, I'll see what I can round up. I wasn't sure how much temper, if any they'd have as the shape they have and then rolled into a circle has already bent them once which would make them stronger. I couldn't see the wheel being differently tempered where the ring locks into it so...

Black RTV will do fine on your schedule- No special tools needed- Spindle nut can usually be reached even with the end of a large adjustable- Try to get the spindle nut back to about the same place...

Guys...STOP. I have the back half of a double beadlock wheel similiar to the 'A3 or 5 ton beadlock wheels. I AM NOT MODIFYING A STOCK, TUBE-TYPE, SPLIT RING WHEEL. I am simply looking to build the outer lockring in a similiar fashion to the 'A3 design where it's a round ring with the...

Impact gun man. Whack the axle bolts out, pop out the axle, run out the spindle nut, whack the brake drum bolts out flip hub...reinstall- :)

They will not fit without the hubs flipped, OR you'll have to machine a bevel to match the front side into the rear to put them on 'dished out.'

I know that stuff guys...okay...more detail definately needed. The below pics are of an 'A3 wheel. The 'A3 wheel has the rear half with studs for outer lockring and the wheel center. The outer is simply a ring of steel with bolt holes for the locking studs to bolt the halves together and a valve...

I should search for the three other threads to post on them how much I won't miss the PA Branch of M.E. Virtually always a hassle, new parts -bad-, rock hard seals, one time even not given a price because I was told, "You just can't DO that!" Well, I did and it worked...so they can have fun at...

Very nice rig...I love those tires too!

Flame on boys... I have a thought on an outer beadlock, for one of my projects, and for mega-ease and simplicity sake i was tossing around the idea of simply machining a center plate the diameter of the outer retaining groove on a stock duece wheel then butting a stock lockring behind it...

I'm running actual 'A3 wheels and MPT 80's. No insert, didn't need it as I won't be lowering pressures. I think I'm running 55psi...whatever the tire says to run for the max load rating. I put the 'A3 wheels on specifically for a wider tire, a tire with more load rating yet same height as...

Nice! I just got a waterjet price on something very similiar-

I've had a 427TD BBC in an 8,000 lb M715 for years now. It was road legal early on and did very well power-wise. I was even very happy pulling an M105 trailer with a Bridgeport J-Head Milling machine and a Kent surface grinder in one shot. That load was 12- 13,000 lbs and it did okay. I...

Yep, and that's exactly why I made up a specific thread about it because it should be the rear axle pushing the whole truck-

I'm slowly gathering parts for a 5 ton project and I'd really like to use these if I can round up or make them work. There is still a valve device on the wheel, taken off of mine, but you can see in the link the lockring is relieved for it. This wheel eliminated all the external plumbing...

The one in the Ebay listing isn't set up for the in wheel CTIS like mine. if you look at the pics you'll see mine has an orange O-ring on the rear side and one of the lug holes is much larger. It does all it's CTIS plumbing inside with no external air lines. Let me see if I can find a pic of...

Here are a few pics of my mounted 'A3 wheels with 12.5 R20 MPT80 Continentals. You can see that they're right out to the edge of the fender and you can also see the style of AG stem I used and the adapter. The adapter simply brings the large diameter stem down to standard civvy size valve stem...

I have around 240' on mine which allows some room for a few cable plies to stack up *if* a short side pull is necessary. I need to pull mine out and pull the side off of it and reseal that. I believe that the seal at the side cover may leak and allow water to seep in. Gotta keep an eye on...

So lookie at these wheels I found- 5 ton bolt pattern...crap forgot the size of the center hole. Designed for CTIS. Trying to locate outer rings or back up plan have several A-CAD designs already done. Weight 50#. Hutchinson told me they're prototype wheels for the military and were a bit...

Many people have done the single lockout and double spline axleshaft in the middle rear (front tandem) on the trucks leaving the rear-rear as the drive. The big 1500 series U-joints go from the T-case to the front tandem, then the jackshaft between the two uses 1410's. When the front tandem is...

The A3 wheels are indeed 11" so if you're going to run a beadlock insert...make sure it's the right width. You may also get a surprise if you go to slip in a typical OTR valve stem. The hole in the wheel for the tubeless stem is larger...I went to a very well supplied tire shop and they were...
