Hi lyn &David
I think what you say is proberly correct, but given the years that the conversion was performed and the fact Australian track was plentiful it was a bugger of a job to pull eight road wheels and set them up in a lath and turn them down to a reduced size I thought that it may have been done to ensure the track stayed on to compensate for the slewing of the tracks when the change of direction was done by using the Marmon Herrington transfer case thanks both of you for your reply, The entire job just looks to complicated to have been done on the place where it was used and was supposed to have been done by the mans fathers from where I got the machine, i was in the workshop on the property where it came from there was no lath or power tools in fact no electricty, all these things make our hobby all the more interesting,if we knew all the answers there would no be much fun in it, Thanks again Regards Ron
