Hi Dale, as requested. Front guards fitted and bolted and the old portapower in action to tension the tracks. So much easier than using the crook

Hi one and all, been a bit slow at posting lately. Here's a few shots of how I make the truck gear stick into a carrier one. Of course this may or may not be the correct way if there is one but it works for me.

And the finished product. This is about a 3 hr job for me. After the slot has been welded and reshaped back,there is a taper on the top of the gear stick, then it must be machined down to thread cut dia and of course cut the 3/8/unf thread. The overall length is important as well.

Hi all, I thought I had a spare one of these but I don't. I had the coupling and the diff side of it but not the trans side. One is no good without the other so I had to make one. I started with a piece of 75x16mm plate, cut it over length, made a quick set of press forms and with the aid of some heat I bent it to a 16mm offset. Sorry I never took any early pics

The female spline came off a tailshaft which I put in the lathe and machined all the unwanted material and cut a recess to the end so it fitted perfectly into my plate. I welded a piece of round pipe to the centre of my plate which allowed me to fit it into the lathe, bore a hole in the centre and machine the 2 surfaces parallel to make the 2 pins sit vertical
