mack mhe9 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 On my 87 MH it's ball and seat. I would like to know if I can change it over to hub piloted. Specifically from a 2006 mack ch frame. If not what would work if any. Came across all new alum wheels 11-22-5. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33668-hub-pilot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
b61mack Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I have a 96 CH cut off on my B model that had spokes, took the budd hubs off of a 77 Cruiseliner everything was the same. the Cruiseliner had #34000 and the Ch had the #40000 airride with S38000 axles Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33668-hub-pilot/#findComment-218795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack mhe9 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Thanks I was wondering about the steer axle? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33668-hub-pilot/#findComment-218804 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb502 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 The hub on the steer may be the same, just swap studs that's how Staxx truck is working out. I doubt it because of the year but it could be, get the front hub part number from Watts and cross reference it. If the MH and CH have the same weight rating front axle it should swap over.

gearhead204 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 does the hub have tangs or fingers to center the wheel? I've also heard of remilling the wheel for ball and seat studs Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33668-hub-pilot/#findComment-218811 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 The hubs from one to the other that is on the swap over.

storkmack Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Intresting. I asked this question a week ago and didn't get much response. But thats how it goes. Depends on whos on, what they know, and if they have time to post. Switched my 85' R from ball and seat to hub pilots from a 95' CH. The 85' had big front brakes so I had to get different drums to fit it, which I expected. Did the rears at the same time.
