T16 Wheel Questions

[G166UC]

Dave,
Obviously, all of the T-16s were made during the war. They probably stopped production before the war actually ended, as they did for a lot of different vehicles. but as was noted earlier, by the time the dish wheels got into the hands of the troops, the war was over. I have seen pictures of T-16s in action with curved spoke wheels, but not very many. It would not be incorrect for a mid production vehicle to have dish wheels on it, as the military would have upgraded the vehicle as it came in for service. But most vehicles have so few actual miles on them, that in most cases the wheels are probably original to the vehicle.
The Swiss did not produce wheels or tracks for the T-16s they had. All the tracks were modified US tracks. Rod
