Well I was in North Missouri this weekend hunting and ran across this on the farm my daughter and I hunted. Can anyone name the axle and rims? They look to be two different rims. One has 8.5X20 and the other 9.0X20







While I was taking pictures, my daughter was having a conversation with the cattle. We saw a few deer, nothing for us to shoot at. Although my son and nephew each got a doe on opening day.

 

I think some of the military stuff, Rockwell axles, used square tubes on the housings. The OD green suggests that as well. Perhaps?

Does it look anything like this...?

Well, I think you nailed it.
I need to ask my wife's uncle about them. I'm sure there is some interesting story around them.

 

Agree it's a Rockwell, with the 6 x 8.75" pattern as would have been used under an F-600 or similar Dodge or IHC. The first wheel is a widow maker while the second has a Goodyear split ring outer rim. Nothing there worth making a rescue attempt. Stu
