M123 1400x24 tires needed

[CanadaDeuce]

hi Guys im on a search for a few good 1400x24 NDT tires for a M123 10 ton tractor, yup read posts seems hard to find, if ANYONE out there has a few good ones with or without rims pls contact me , maybe its time to contact China and get some new ones made and do a bulk purchase, I know there not made in USA but at the size of them Chinese would be the only way to afford them HAHA

I also need a handful of other parts for the truck if anyone is parting any out .

tks Terry

Memphis equipment may have some. They still have a few 123s laying around.

We have 1400-24s but they are offroad only.

What is the brake drum diameter? Maybe make a 20in bridge truck wheel work. Then use 1600s with tubes.

Red River Parts has a few so so ones on rims. They are all so so as they were last made in the 70's.

I don't think that will work but cant measure it right now, plus I do believe that the inner hub hole is larger to go over hub. Ill find some just gotta shake the bushes
tks for the help .

I remember reading on here that the 20" wheels can be made to work with some grinding on the axle for clearance.

Looks like finding tires has been a problem for over a decade on these.


Edit: (correction, lug pattern issues apparently)

or some 21in x 15 inch wheel that they are using with the 24R21 tires is a possibility.

I just recently sold my M123 and for the 5 or 6 years that I owned and restored it, I searched for extra tires constantly. Checked Winers, Adelmanns, etc.. to no avail. The tires they did have were beyond serviceable, and would have probably fell apart after a few miles. I found 4 NDs on EBay that came off a scrapped military grader, good rears, but marginal at best....Good luck on your search

Try cariboo6x6, he might have a few odds/ends kicking around.

20" PLS wheels (large bolt pattern) will match the bolt circle, but will hit the air cans.
385/95R24 Michelin or Bridgestone tires (OEM on M911 trucks) will fit perfectly, an exact replacement that is 25+ years newer and radial construction. TNJ Murray used to have them, you will need radial tubes and flaps as well as the tires.
