Default Ground clearance

Hi
Can anyone give me data on the ground clearance on the UC, please. I have modified a pair of metal skies for the recovery of my UC but I think I might have made the sides to high.

It looks like you are O.K. The manual says 8 3/4" so you shuld be fine. You better hurry as spring is comming fast. and we want to see photo's of it in your yard.

Thanks! For my own safety Iīll bring some wood to put under the tracks if the ground clearance is not enough.

If the tracks turn free you can probably tow it out easier with out the skis.

Well everything depends on the condition of the ice and if itīs snow on top. Will also try to recover a Studebaker Weasel as well and a Fordson 1934 and a Volvo BM10 from around 1950 from the same spot.
