found in scrap yard

[John Genereux]

hello everyone. This is the first time I post something so if I am in the wrong section, I apologize.

Yesterday while roaming around in a local scrapper, I came upon a tire and rim of military heritage. It is a two piece combat rim bolted together with 10 bolts and the tire size is 9 - 16 inches. It also has a 5 bolt hole pattern.

Could this have been used on an M37 or something earlier?

(I tried posting a picture of it but I was not able to do so. Any suggestions?)

Thanks in advance

John

Hello Hanno,

Thanks for the link for posting pictures. Well, here is what I found in the scrap yard:

That is the bolt together rim for either the WW2 Dodges, or very early M37 Dodges, although by production time they were using he locking ring type split rim.

That rim is suitable for Dodge APT I believe.

I did a bit or looking in the net and I believe I found what this tire/rim goes on. It appears to go on a WW2 era WC 52
