Neil, I totally agree about the thrashing thing! I've just been down for another look at mine. I still don't think a permanent mounting on the track guard can work though. The chore Horse is about 14" wide, were as the track guard is only about 11 1/2" wide. Also some pictures show it stowed over the tank filler. I wonder if some improvised lashing was required from the crew, after all, various amounts of other loose equipment was carried, such as ammo and fuel etc. Ron

PS. These high definition digital photos clearly show that 'er in doors is not performing her duties correctly with the feather duster. Ron
