Canadian winter track
 

Documented reference to the Canadian winter track is readily found for the spudded variant, less so for the ‘bar’ style.

Although the carrier in the image appears to have been built between February and May, 1942, it looks as though the series “F” sprockets are installed. Domestic WD numbering system.

Wonderful to share rare information such as this. I'm already impressed with the content on this MLU Forum. Brilliant stuff.

It's interesting to see that this Mk1* has been converted for the WS19 in place of the WS11. I've not seen an actual picture of this conversion before.

So, the lumps on the tracks are normal for my MK1? on mine its about every 5th link has this, I thought it wasnt normal and was going to grind them off.

There is enough welded-on bar ‘bush’ track to be found in Canada. How to determine if that track was factory production, or a home made product might start with a picture or two?

As another UK based carrier owner with modified track said, “(insert labourer name here) on a 9 inch grinder” resolves the modifications.

I'm interested to know, Do you notice them at all, when driving on a hard surface?

Took a look today, and its welded on lumps.
