Great work so far...how long have you been working on it?
Title: Re: Halftrack M15 Thomas and Andrea work in progress
Post by: steve-0 on September 11, 2011, 05:17:02 PM
i think you are doing it the right way, with lots of help  ;D
so are you going to build it as an m15 halftrack?
thanks for posting those pics, its very motivational to get me off my ass and start working on mine.

hey

we work maybe from oktober 2010. the problem is we have to rebuilt to whole back.
when we are finished we have all the tools to built new halftracks   ;)

do you have an idea where I can get the support and lamps for international ht?
liberty engineering don´t have them any more.

this week we are working on the rear fender.

Did you mean M5? International didn't build the M15. Great workmanship!

The motor looks like a white. I didn't think the IH engines were flatheads? Am I wrong on that? Anyway looks like your trucking along. Lots of hands make the work go fast.

Post by: Thomas on September 14, 2011, 08:03:01 AM
hi guys,

it´s right, the engine is a white. was changed against the international red.
the original engine will be installed later.

and it´s a M15, because it´s stamped at the frame
all the holes at the rear floor were the same like a M15
at the platform a crane was installed and used after the war.

Post by: WayOffTrack on September 08, 2013, 04:21:26 PM
Nice work. Are you going to put the quad mount in the back? If you are it should sit on a large box that bolts to the frame and it appears you are constructing the rear troop seats for a personel carrier rather than a multiple gun motor carriage. Here is a picture of the box on mine. You can see the front and top of it in this picture after I have removed the rusty large ammo box mounted in the floor in front of the quad. The top of the quad box is level with the top of the horizontal track armor and the side track armor bolts to the side of the box. The support ring(s) then bolt to the box. I realize International may be different just wanted to mention this so you were aware. If you look closely at the top of the box you can see the outline for the curve where the ring was in the bottom right corner.
