Title: Drive Sprockets
Post by: PeteG on February 27, 2012, 08:51:42 PM

I haven't been able to work on mine for a while but I found a use for my parts frame.
It makes a handy egg holder while I finish the rest of my chores.

Steve,
Sure, I've got two if you need 'em. Maybe we can work up a trade, I could use some stuff.
I'll PM you my contact info.

Hi guys, Just looking at the picture of the egg holder halftrack when I noticed the holes in the frame. I believe these holes are used to mount the mud scraper brackets to the frame. I had another vehicle with the same holes, but could never figure out what they were for. If you compare the pictures, the bracket and holes seem to match. They were welded onto the frame on mine but that is probably because it was easier than drilling the holes.  Henry
