when I bought my halftrack, I also purchased the guys stash of halftrack parts. About 3 pickup loads of parts, to include a crated French rebuilt halftrack motor.
My problem, I am clueless on what to ask for the parts. so for now they are all in a shipping container.
I have George Hiltons catalog from the 1980s...when I had my first halftrack, but I am sure prices have gone up since then.

You could easily hook up a Voltmeter under the dash to get you by! If you are running off your battery your Voltage will be below 12V where if your charging system is working correctly it will read 13-14V. It is also a simple hookup, 1 wire to + (usually Ign. Switch) 1 wire to Ground!

Hi All,
Just picked up a new Scout Car project. 1st for me. Anyone in the north east PA area with one? Could use some advice and one to look at up close. Is the vin number stamped on the frame somewhere?

Hi,
Where are you located? I'm in NE PA. Just picked up an M3A1 Scout Car project. Do you have a picture of what the steering wheel should look like.

Just do a search on some of it. The pinion seal just square o ring stock that you will have to make up. Axle gaskets just make up. Haven’t had to change any of my cones on the axle flares but Steve recommends going to a truck or forklift shop for parts. Kevin should have the correct wheel cylinders. Good luck with everything.

The amp meter on my French gauge cluster I think is broke, needle is stuck all the way on the negative side. Checked to see if it was charging and I’m up at around 13.6-13.7. Have you guys run your tracks for any length of time with a bad amp meter guage.Its gonna be a pain to replace seeing how most of the electrical system goes through it. Thanks
