Unhappy Track direction.

oh Geezuus!!

Don't start that again!!

If Bob Moseley see's this...there'll be blood drawn.

There are two ( 2 ) different Australian Workshop manuals.

The early one, entitled "Workshop Repair and Maintenance, Carriers M.G. No.2 and 2A Mechanisation Pamphlet No. 7A ", contradicts what the later manual "Carriers, M.G., 2pdr. and 3" Mortar ( Aust. ), Workshop Manual" states.

As a result there is a great deal of disagreement about proper track fitment.

I have always felt that the sprocket should entirely mesh with the track link as the carrier travels forward. My father is a Mechanical Engineer with 40 years experience, he agree's with me. The track should be fitted so that the short side of the track is forward when incontact with the ground.
