Deputy Dog Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Hi C-130 Forum, Can anyone tell me the difference between a Nose Wheel Assembly Part No: 339242-13 and 339242-31. I assume that the dash number references the manufacture of the tire fitted, but I am uncertain. Please could somebody give me some clarification. Many Thanks.

P3_Super_Bee Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 A quick google search reveals that the -31 is for "J" models. Might be the same wheel(specs) (legacy / "J" model) just that the "J" model wheel is made by someone different than who made the legacy wheels... What type(manufacturer) Rubber on the wheel has nothing to do with the part number. < At least in the Navy world... A P-3 Nose Wheel/tire assembly is 3-1284 weather its wearing Good Year or Goodrich rubber... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3_Super_Bee Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 In thinking about this some more, it probably is a tire issue. Though not a manufacturer thing but a spec thing. The J has around a 20,000 lb higher take off weight. Would also guess takeoff/ landing speeds are different, requiring a different tire.

gmac Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 H and Js actually use the same nose wheel assy. P/N - 219A967-1 Nose wheel/tire assy. P/Ns differ between B, E, H and Js due to bias ply vs. radial vs. tubeless etc. J has 4 different tire P/Ns listed. All tires are MIL-T©-5041 spec Type III spec. 12.5 X 16 See 1C-130J-4-32-1, 32-40-00 and 1C-130H-4-32-1, 32-20-00 Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
