Hayes Induustries rims

[IBC]

Can someone please help me to identify this rim?

I believe that's a B-25 nose wheel. I presume the reverse side is not set up for a brake?

Thanks for your answer, it looks like it is some kind of a brake

That is the Hayes H-3-44A 30" Smooth Contour Light Duty Landing Wheel, that was used on the AT-9A and UC-64A: while it looked very similar to it's close cousin, the H-3-124 series, that was used as the nosewheel for B-25s, it also had provision for 12 x 2¼" hydraulic brakes.

The associated brake assembly was the Hayes H-2-99 12 x 2¼"

Have I already said this Forum is amazing?

NZ: By any chance, has the full version of that T.O. been uploaded here?

I don't know whether it has been uploaded to here, because my copy was downloaded from Avialogs (now a free service) . When I have some spare time, I'll look at uploading it to WW2 Aircraft.net if it hasn't already been done.

Is not to worry, I'll grab it from over there.

Thank you very much, these rims have never been used and came from Reykjavík RAF airport. I got 2 of them, they where going to be thrown in the trash, so you saved them with this info!

Glad to be able to help. As you can see, the wheels were specified for the Curtiss-Wright AT-9A 'Jeep' advanced trainer:

and the Canadian built Noorduyn Norseman UC-64A light transport, but were likely to have been used on other aircraft as well.

I love the looks of the AT-9. I've read it was treacherous to fly.
