Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
So all you had to do was put the correct taper on the bolt holes and it lined up?These are Hutchinson wheels and after a few emails I was able to get a copy of the drawings along with the specific information to cut the lug nut seats on the back side of the wheels. The seats are ball and not tapered. I got lucky and found the bit on ebay and borrowed a magnetic drill and started cutting away. Thanks for the likes!
Yes Sir, its different any way and a lot of work to get the wheels to work.
Anyone know if those wheels are still 10" wide? They look at little wider to me. I'm looking for a wheel around 11" to get me to the 34,000 legal max on my rear tandems. Indiana gives you 800 lb per inch of wheel.Pretty sure they are off of Early Caimans, which was on FMTV axles. So the pattern is the same but they are only tapered for the lug nuts on one side
I thought the same thing then figured bolting a base in the span of plate steel to lock on after centering would be the way to do it. that way you don't get drift or chatter from the bitThe aluminum wheel + magnetic drill part doesn't make sense to me, but it looks like you got it to work.
I didn't know that. Here is my 12" wheel project.Anyone know if those wheels are still 10" wide? They look at little wider to me. I'm looking for a wheel around 11" to get me to the 34,000 legal max on my rear tandems. Indiana gives you 800 lb per inch of wheel.

No, not yet. And you're right about the tire pressure issue. 26# is not very high. I was going to use them on an M51A2 but that fell through.Did you ever get to try them out? I've been curious how the Sand tails would handle weight, due to the low air pressure. I have a strictly off road job in the future that I once considered them for, until I saw the max tire pressure...
