Great Job ,Just a technical issue , are the choke and throttle cables should be under side of the air cleaners by any chance, as when the engine cover comes down and seals with the felt on top of the radiator, I think the cables imprint themselves into the felt, Cheers Andrew.

Not much room inside with the engine cover on ! I can see way you need to have everything working well before the cover goes on otherwise it's a pain to work on the motor

I started on the tracks today . lots of elbow grease on the wire brush , replaced three links . I now have 174 links each side 98% of the track links , look like they have not been on a carrier as where the sprocket would run , still has the casting lungs on them . They should match up well with my NOS sprockets . some of the links have some pitting after 70 years of sitting around . otherwise they look OK . Dale
