Spare wheels
Hi Cliff,
According to Mike Cecil's Military Equipment Profiles book, the spares mount was designed to carry one of each for the tractor and gun. All photos I have where the spares are visible show one wheel bigger than the other. The pictures I sent you include this one where you can see from the rear between the ammo boxes the 4 bolt heads which hold a bracket on the outside front between the 2 wheels. Offset like it is, I assume that the larger spare tractor wheel must always be on the left.
I hope that's right!
Cheers,
Allan
