Sexton # 130

According to Chrysler's book "Tanks Are Mighty Fine Things", published just after the war, that transmission, controlled differential and final drives represented more than 50% of mechanical work and 40% of the cost of the tank.

Hi Perry

Interesting little book isn't it, a number of interesting photos of tank production. There is another in this series,of corporate publicity, entitled The Great Detective about the manufacture of the SCR-584 radar units.

Hi All!
Just wanted to give you all an update. It has been rough getting work done on the Sexton lately as a frame up restoration of a M2A1 Half Track has taken priority. We are over the Hump on this little side project and expect to be back full force on the Sexton sometime this fall. It is pretty amazing when one thinks about it, there are probably 4 times as many pieces to a Half Track than the Sexton! We can't wait to get it done and focused on the main event!

Cheers!!
Sean

Boy you guys have just brought back a lot of good memories
Keep up the good work!

My first radial layed on the shop floor in pieces for almost 7months before we found the parts to rebuild it

JUST REMEMBER! crank it first before you use the starter

ps:
: they are known for their hydraulic lock

Since all of the old Sexton threads seem to be popping unto the top, I thought I'd give ours a little update. I had planned on getting some sandblasting done by now, however, a FV432 found its way into the que! sneaky Bastard!!!

I have acquired another Air Cleaner though thanks to JDMCM.

I am still looking for the guts and bottom for another early type round one.

Cheers

Sean
