Bar Nuthin 2,764 #1 Posted 19 hours ago My neighbor bought a C-121 Automatic that had previously been used as a mule at an airport. The hood has several warning stickers regarding safety checks when hooking to the plane. It has been fitted with some massive rear wheel hubs! At first, I thought they were repair hubs, but once removed the axles are in perfect condition. Anyone seen hubs like these before? 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll try to get some pictures of the hood decals - as well as the add-on hydraulics that were installed by a shop in Northern Indiana. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 11,650 #6 Posted 14 hours ago More pictures please. Those hubs remind me of Economy Power King hubs I'll check a PK parts tractor I have. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
