Had to do some repairs on the weekend to get her running again. Nothing major, just a broken belt. Felt good working on it though.
She needs to be running and ready for a soon to be happening border raid.

Hi Anthony, hope to have pics and more info in about a week.
Recce has already been done. I'll need the pulling power of my tank for what's coming.

Hi Ryan, did you get an answer on the different road wheels? I have been told the solid wheels are Sherman. When the bearings fail, its easier to cut the old wheel off and replace the whole wheel supposedly. And Sherman wheels are the easiest to find and a common swap.

Hi Justin, the answer to your question would be " yep". I'm chewing my fingernails a bit waiting for it. I'm hopeful it will be here within the week, but in saying that, it's only a hope at the moment.

Hi Tony, no I never did get that answer. But that's sounds reasonable. Justin also put me onto a couple of NOS spoked roadwheels too.

Hey robert, I wouldn't throw any mud at mokes, those buggers are a little goldmine nowadays.

The solid disc wheels are just the later pattern and are correct for late Grant and Sherman.
