Identification required
I have a couple of items that I'm hoping to get identified.
First is a 10 stud 20 inch Dunlop rim. It has an odd construction in that the tyre bead rings on both sides of the rim are removable... weird. The second is a Chrysler motors water pump which, based on the packaging, seems to date to 1970. Anyone got any ideas? Russell |

Russell: The water pump is for the M113 APC: has a Chrysler 75M V-8 engine.

Quite possibly
Thanks for the water pump ID Brian. I bought these at a Defence disposal Auction many years ago and NZ definitely had M113's... except, as far as I know, they were fitted with Detroit V6 engines. So, what I now need to figure out is what else did NZ have that were fitted with the Chrysler engine you described.

M113A1 had 6v53 Detroit Diesel. By far the bulk of vehicles were diesel A1 variants, incl all the NZ fleet. The 75M was an industrial/militarised version of the 361 Dodge V8. Same water pump would fit the block. Did the NZ Army use any Dodge trucks as "C" line vehicles?

Further info regarding the water pump: The Chrysler number is 2469431 which may help with a broader civilian application. Other military uses for this water pump in the 75M engine were the V100 Commando and a late version of the ONTOS (M50A1).

Or maybe not.
The NZ army never really had much of a variety in vehicles. The only things that were running around in the 60's and 70's that spring to mind were RL Bedfords, Landrovers, Ferret's, Scorpions, M113's, M41's and M816/818's. It's possible that some engine driven plant or the odd one off vehicle used the engine types mentioned (they also had some Lees rough terrain forklifts as an example). I guess it's also possible that they received some incorrect spares for the M113's which simply sat on a shelf for years.
