    i have a set of what seem to be Warn M1 hubs, but they are marked with the IH logo as opposed to any warn markings. why were they marked for Ih when jeep only got plain ones?

    this is very likely the wrong forum. feel free to move it.

    Here is a little insight copied from>>> A Brief History Of Early Warn Hubs For Jeeps

    The M-series Warn hubs are distinguishable by the presence of a small raised boss in the upper finger groove with the model number stamped into it. The start of the M-series model numbering was evidently tied to the use of Warn's hubs by International Harvester as optional OEM factory-installed equipment. This may have occurred as early as 1960, with the introduction of the IH Scout 80 in the 1961 model year.

    From an IH Scout forum:

    "Enter IH. In sizing up their competitor, the Jeep Universal, they obviously paid attention to its customers, how they used and MODIFIED their rigs. Warn's locking hubs caught their attention, and (IH) included the M1 on their option list making (IH) Warn's first OEM sale, and in the process started Warn's use of model number designations."

    The 3-ring manual Warn M1 hubs were apparently available only as OEM on the IH Scout, or through their dealerships, and were evidently all IH marked. Though the 10-spline M1 and WL-2 hubs were internally identical, it makes sense that IH wanted its OEM, factory-installed Warn hubs to be IH-specific in appearance.

    IH hubs are the same as the CJ's. You just have to make sure the spline count is right, 10 or 27.

    The 27 spline hubs on my 3B:

    International liked their logo on the Warn lockouts. Other than the logo, exactly the same hubs as those with Warn's logo. If the IH offends you, find the outer caps with the Warn logo. I have IH caps on at least one of my Jeeps.
