Thanks for your responce, Mike I have spoken to the son of the man who did the conversion, the father and his and his brother did the conversion they obtained a complete tank and pulled it apart, where it came from is anyones guess I not only have the transmission, I have all of the running gear,As an aside the late Jaques Littlefield wanted to re import it into the us, but was not allowed also so did someone from Fred Ropkes also tried to get it back to the states,if no success, things did happen behind the scenes, I once met a man 45 or 50 years ago who had a tracked truck that he used to plough his potato fields with, and as he lived at the rear of the Momageeta camp things had a habit of going missing when they had been parked for a long time,I knew the man and his son and they simply said that they had found it at the back of their farm, this was most deffently a comple tank when these Russian,migrants pulled it to pieces, regards Ron As an aside I am well aware of the fact that there are some Marmon Herrington surplus parts in Victoria, and that some have been used for movie converions on various vehicles,but this is certainly not the case with these parts, Oh by the way the son told me that is father and uncle said that the tank that they had was from a shipment that was suppsed to go New Guieny, but was off loaded in Australia as one ship had been sunk and the other turned around and dropped them off here, they always thought that it was a Japanese tank
