Tires have approximately 80% tread, but have external cracks in side wall 3 of them have no cracks inside and hold air 1 has hole in sidewalk at a crack Free, but you arrange and pay for shipping. I can deliver free to western Montana or drop at shipping depot in Missoula

Agree with GeneralDosorder, ditch the Michelins. The sidewalls crack and leak. Good videos out there on changing the tires. Welcome, and good luck.

Could also discard the rim valve stem and make a new line that goes from the rim directly to the CTIS wheel valve.

I was thinking along these same lines. It just needs to fit the valve stem threads, make a right angle, and connect to the CTIS wheel valve. Making one might be easier than finding one. Thinking about wandering around Afghanistan with an adjustable wrench...

Thanks Colt! I'm working on this right now. Do you have a source for the brass right angle and the adapter on the short hose? I can find the part numbers in the TM's, but I can't seem to find the actual parts for sale on-line.

My understanding is that automatic tire chains are useful on regular roads while traveling at speed. Not sure how well they would perform off-road, on driveways, plowing, start/stop/reverse, and other ranch tasks.

Tractor stuck for 3 days 150 feet off a gravel road, down an embankment, at the edge of a pond. M1078 self-recovery winch easily pulled the tractor up the hill and out.

This is how:

Driveway is 1 1/2 miles long and I'm about 4 miles from the nearest paved road.

Here's a 30 sec video of my M1078 plowing part of my driveway. Remember to turn on the audio. https://youtube.com/shorts/fpMD8YIFZJ8?feature=share

I thought it was 1 picture and that's it. Kinda assumed it was cheating to lobby for votes.

Thanks! I'm learning so much working on this truck. Lucky to have such a responsive and knowledgable crowd here, and on youtube, to help.

I'll put mine in the competition! 1998 M1078 Cold weather modified for winter with tire chains, block heater, battery tender, and battery warmers. Nearly 4 miles to a paved road, so a good plow is essential. Hat tip to @NEILSWORLD Endless Adventures for the videos on plowing and tire chains.

I've only had mine for 6 months, but it has been a good experience. I bought mine from a friend, so I knew its history and maintenance. He had it for 3 years and bought it from a high end truck enthusiast that restored it from auction and got everything working well. I'm an engineer, not a...

Had a good experience with CSM Army Tires. Bought 4 Goodyear 395/85R20's. Talked to Phillip and asked for newest tires with no cracks in sidewalls. He understood what I was concerned about. Very happy with what was delivered.

3 weeks ago it was -30F here in Montana. Luckily I installed a Zerostart block heater and a ruggedized Battery Tender over Thanksgiving. It started no problem.
