Just had a look at some photos I have of the MCP Ford half track and the hubs are only 5 stud not 8 as per the drums shown, so therefore the axle and drums could not have come off the one and only (to our knowledge) Ford prototype half track.
Do we know for sure that only one Chevrolet CMP half track was made?
Do we know for sure that a Ford CMP was not converted as well?
Was the axle pictured used under the International prototype half track? (AWM Photo shown below)
There was another MCP Chevrolet (1940 WB model I think) that was converted to a half track and the AWM photo shows a Chevrolet type drive Axle as well.
So could the axle and hub shown have been made up by someone post war to fix something that broke on a piece of modified equipment in some farming or industry situation?
