M2A1 Halftrack Resto dialup beware

[vettes]

Thanks dark Alley Dan, thats why i couldnt figure it out, was too simple.
As for editing, it all went smooth. At first i tried to fire it with alittle gas down the carb to see if it would catch, nothing. After doing some tests i found the coil was not acting right. After testing the coil it was good i moved onto the points in distributor. Turns out they were barely opening. 10sec later it was all good. Ran into house to get wife (who was in her jamjams) and she came out to vid it (still in her jamjams) I guess this was around 1 pm lol

Fantastic stuff. This has been probably my favorite thread to follow. Major milestone accomplished here and like everyone else, i am very anxious to see it completed and running around your yard.

And finally after years of being trackless

That should get her on her feet again! Way to go!

 

[Silverback]

How do you adjust the track tension on it?

gotta tag this thread. nice work vettes.

Just ahead of the rear idler there will be a huge spring installed to put tension on track

Not the best shot but

Have you thought of mounting live non restricted semi auto TNW M1919's and M2HB's?

Greatest CGN thread ever.

Nice work vettes! I cant even imagine the amount effort you must have poured into this project.

It would be sweet, but I'm pretty sure one would have to sell a majority of his organs to afford that setup!

 

[vettes]

Like hawk said. Although all the mounts are correct and would accommodate live fire mgs, I am still looking for a tank so adding another 20gs for a live 1919 and 50 isnt feasible.
Yesterday I got around to installing the tension springs on the one side for the idler, i cant believe how long it took and hard it was to get in.

That track looks brand new, is someone still making them?

 

[Cavs42]

Well, I just went through 30 pages of this, and am very impressed. This may be my new favorite thread on here.

 

[vettes]

And finally the other side is done. This time I didnt bother bugging the wife to help and did it alone. Really wasnt as hard the second time around

 

[SRSA311]

Still here watching and loving it.
Great job!
Bravo!

They are leftover from when Israel had half-tracks in their inventory back pre '95. Since they no longer used them they sold off all there newly made tracks. these are dated 1993

That track looks brand new, is someone still making them?

 

[Dark Alley Dan]

On her feet again. Well done, sir.

 

[BernDawg]
