After seeing some of the recent tool discussions, I was curious about what other carrier owners had and used for working with their vehicles compared to the wartime tool issues.
Shot attached are modern track jacks. The one I prefer is the smaller and lighter type that is cranked with a large wrench in the center to tighten or loosen the tracks. The wartime originals are rare lever operated types and I don't know if I would want to use one since the modern pattern are safer and certainly cheaper in the event that something broke.
