A friend has recently aquired this wheel and wondered if anyone could identify the type of aircraft it would have been used on?

I have found out some more numbers. AH8013-1X and H5830, the 5 may be an S though! Tyre size is 12.50 – 10 and it’s around 25″ in diameter.

Hi 92fs,
Dave is right, also look on Hub main flange on other side of Wheel, should be a stamp or 3 on there. The number you show is almost certainly the ID(Part Number) of that loose flange that is held in place by air/Nit pressure against that lock ring. (Or corrosion as wheel looks 50-70+ years old. and most likely deflated). Post back with what you find, (Include some more pics, especially of other side and Tyre Part Numbers,etc.) you might have to scrape a bit if extra paint has been slapped on. That wheel looks like it came off a farmers Trolley/Cart.

Your friend needs to clean up the central part of the hub and look for a something that looks like ‘AH1234’ -that will identify it
