There are after action reports I've seen where recommendations suggest each tank formation have a Weasel assigned to them so that the officers can get to their O-group meetings. Jeeps and even some of the tanks had issues with the Feb/Mar ’45 mud.
And one problem in researching their use is the vehicle is just another "carrier" in many of the war records. Sometimes it is also called a continuous track carrier on account of the grousers being connected to continuous belting as compared to other tracked vehicles with links and pins. Something you hopefully won't need to deal with on your vehicle.
My brother abused our M29C and broke a track. I have it patched together enough to move it around but am in the process of rebuilding our spare set of tracks with new belting and will use bolts to connect the grousers to facilitate easier repairs in the future. You'll notice on your tracks that each grouser has 16 rivets holding it to the bands. Lots of fun when it comes to removing them if you are unfortunate like me. Shot attached shows a pile of grousers representing the first track being completely broken down as of noon today. The other shot shows the other track that needs to be broken down. Then I can start cleaning them all up for painting prior to rebanding them.
