I have 8 hole wheels on my Kramer, the 20mm studs are 275 mm across and the hub is 220 mm. Does anyone know or have the specs on the unimog 8 hole wheels. These axles were used on 80 hp tractors and front end loaders. Its a massively heavy portal assembly, the axle turns a small gear that turns the hub through the bull gear which is supported on either side with multiple bearings. If I could get it on my scales I would but its heavy enough to be dangerous. The crazy part is the amount of disassembly to access the brakes. the PO torched a bracket to change wheel cylinders and the guy from germany scorched me for circumcising the part (his words). The goal is 24" wheels that I will most likely have custom centers made, and some treads like sold by superior traction.

Here is the info on the Mog 8 bolt. Same numbers as your Kramer

I have verified these numbers on my u1700l, as I am making new wheel centre for my truck right now.

Note hub is 220 mm Center but wheel is 221 mm

Thanks, interesting bit I did see that my drum has the 221 mm opening. Searching had not yielded that post. thanks again!

Thanks sdo. I had struck out using the search function. Food for thought maybe I need to find a set of mil bead locks and put new centers in. Please share pics of your endeavor.

Here a two quick pics of the progress. I am doing the work at friends machine shop, Glacial Pace Machine.

First pic is machining the Center out of the MRAP wheels with the CNC mill, second pic is of the new centres, centres still need to be turned down to 15.5" od and have a shoulder cut in them.

Ditto, thanks for sharing. LPG I do look occasionally for stuff being sold up here, I haven't seen any wheels yet. I know we have a few SEE units up here that should be due for sale.

So this unit your working on is basicly a planetary axle hub? But is sound diffrent with only one bull gear. Instresting!

Dose it change the center line of the wheel like a unimog portal axle or dose it stay in line like a planetary axle?

 

[ALASKAT]

The axle enters the top of case and drives the large gear. Here is a pic of the housing apart (not mine). These units are very heavy duty. Tow rating of 40 tons and a 4 cyl deutz with about 40 hp to drive it.

Nice pics sdo. Apple is great isn't it?

 

[myunimog]

Maybe it's not just your Apple product sdo. Alaskat's pics didn't show up either.

On some non PC unit when you upload pics they are all labelled "picture 1" or similar. That's why only one upload per post works. Includes all my apple devices

Somethings up. I edited several post in here cause the pic would not show up. Had to manually embed the attachment. Still they only show up as a link to the attachment though

I did a test on the housings one, and now they all show up for me. Something funny with the board, few threads like this in the last few days.

I posted more pics in the 20x10" wheel tread but it did not get bumped to the front page, not sure why.

If they don't show up I'll post again tomorrow with some in this tread.
