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.

Thanks Andrew. Yes after I posted the photos I thought it looked wrong will change to the underside . Dale

I test fitted the engine cover today , looks real cool .Dale

[Dale Jordan]

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

Pulled brake drums off yesterday . The left stem and spring Assy frozen solid , so I could not adjust the brakes have fixed that now , can some one show me a close up photo of the small pin that goes through the splined washer into the inside large nut that holds the drums and bearings onto the shaft my one was broken so not sure what the head looks like ? I can make new ones on my lathe , also the inside seal is no good . Is there a modern seal to suit if so does any one have the part number , I'm going to order some new bearing tomorrow ..
