Title: WWII videos with halftrack
Post by: steve1973 on February 01, 2014, 08:17:32 AM

Surfing Youtube I have found these videos over time. I will add other as I find them. The first one I found the other day on tracking and de-tracking a halftrack. Unfortunately the video quality is poor. If you notice it is an early hafltrack with set idelers, no springs.

Great videos!!
In the one video that is on changing tracks. They jack the halftrack up and stick a block between the boogie assemblies. What size is that block?
