75mm pack howitzer hub & wheel

Post by mbatvburg » Mon Jul 28, 2014 6:01 pm

Helping a local vfw get its pack howitzer back "on its feet" it was hit by a car and knocked away from its pad. Unfortunately, this happened years ago and I believe the hub and wheel are now reborn into harbor freight tools...

Could someone give me a run down of parts I will need and availability of those parts? I don't have a parts manual handy. Obviously the screw portion of the traverse will need some major repair.
Thanks

Does that hub include the hub liner?

Also looks like the left axle arm is missing. How are they attached?

You need an axle stud too - think this screws in - the one the other end does... but not had that end apart on mine.

Got any other pictures of the howitzer - any of the data plates would be great too.

The threads on the wheel studs are handed - ie Left and Right threads... make sure you get the right one.
