Rerubber wheels?

[Bob Carriere]

Similar suppliers must exist in the good old USA.....

I attended an antique truck show in Maine some years ago... the major attractions were old Mack trucks..... from the 20s, 30s etc.

They had a multitude of repro companies selling Open C cabs... refurbished dual chain drive system.....some were used until the early fifties instead of differentials...... and they had various suppliers who would reline those huge cast iron wheels with new solid rubber tires...... some must have been cast in a mold has they had replicated the raised letterring on the tire's side walls. They had sample wheels for hand carts.... foundry carts and truck wheels...... some truck wheels where at least 36 inches tall..... 5 to 6 inch wide.... and I would not try to lift one.....

Who from the MLU is located in the new England states...??
