I did a couple of small jobs too. Took the front idlers off. Nice 1938 dated wheel, the axle goes to show how well the soldiers in the field looked after their kit! the wheel came straight off after unbolting the wheel and there was no rust with grease still on the shaft.
A couple of shots showing some of the early makers stamps, dates (1937) and part numbers. These are from the upper engine cover. I'd be interested in hearing from anybody who has any early dated British wheels for sale or swap. I have some British and Canadian ones to swap. Ben

wheels.
Ben, If these wheels near you turn out to be usesable, then i might have some early dated wheels to pass on, so you looking for early british wheels dated 1938 to 1939?, what about 1940?, I will check what I have on Tuesday morning.
