Hi all,

Conveniently, I lost my rear wheel on my T-34/76 model. I was wondering if T34's would ever replace their broken/damaged wheels with German road wheels from like a Panzer IV or a Stug. Also, could the tank even move without a rear wheel and if it could would they still use it in service? Thanks for any and all help.

I've seen pics of T34's using Panther road wheels.

Some T-34-85s with Panther roadwheels :







According to this drawing, this could be done with T-34-76s as well...

In my opinion T-34 could work without a wheel anyway
