Clev. # 40-28D 6 inch wheels

[skyboltone]

Do these fit on a BC12D from '46? Would $500 be a good deal or just a so so deal? You still need the hydraulic puck masher assembly correct? Isn't there something about the tapered axel too? Can a guy put 8:50s on the Shinns or would the Clevelands just be a better upgrade for the bigger tires.

I ran 850's on shins for 500 hours, not enough brake to stop or do a runup. I went to c-150 mccauley single pucks and Cleveland master cylinders and I have another 500 hours on them. best money is a hydraulic brake conversion you will need an axle adapter from grove. Tim

Another opinion.....I ran 850's on my properly adjusted Shinns for over nearly 50 hours. I could do a full run-up and stop as needed. No issues.
