Kenneth -- Yeah buddy, that's what I'm talking about
Wish I had one of them some times ... The 177's I'm needing are for my M817 5-ton dumper. She doesn't see much highway time, but riding around the county picking up manure from several horsefarms for our compost project has been rapidly grinding off the tread from my soft rubber NDT's (T-Hawks that weren't designed for paved roads ...) St. Mary's County. MD isn't exactly uptown, but it's not the Fulda Gap, either. As John says, the perfect tires for me are lightly used 177's off an M-923 that someone is switching to super singles.
John -- Oshkosh truck has a lot of stuff, but they seem a little proud of what they've got, too. I'd like to try and find them closer, anyway. Ever dealt with that guy up in PA? or the dude in Annapolis with the Huey? There's a set on SS right now in FLorida. If only I had a way to get them ...
Of course, the air brake repair on the 9500 has set me back a bit, too, so the 817's new shoes may have to wait a bit.
