We took the Sexton to another steam show last weekend. We got a lot of driving in. It's a real crowd pleaser.

Hi Jesse,
Great work on the Sexton gun, I would love to see one of these shows some day. It's funny, you mention these experts saying about replacing the cam or adjusting the choke or what not. I once had a guy, try to tell me, that there were no Canadian Regiments, that used this tank in Normandy. As you know, my grandfather's 23rd Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery, used this tank for their duration of service from Normandy to Germany. Hope all is well ! cheers ! |

We've been busy working on the aux. generator, and the electric. All the boxes are rebuilt, and installed, and wire pulled.
Rebuilding the generator and box was like restoring a whole vehicle. Last edited by Jesse Browning; 06-08-17 at 02:37. Reason: Add pictures. |

Still making progress. Not much to make headlines, but alot getting done. The electric is complete exept for some gauges. We had a small leak in a fuel tank, so the engine had to come out to repair the leak. It was so much easier to work on the electric with it out. Took care of a few small problems on the engine. Rebuilt the dial sight carrier, oil dilution tank, data plates. We're looking forward to a great year next year. Thanks to all who posted positive comments, supplied information, parts, etc. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year. Jesse

The Broad Arrow marking by itself is British military///The addition of the "C" around it,"C" Broad Arrow is Canadian Military.. Not sure if you knew it but thought I would throw it in..It would be really nice to see it marked in Canadian war time markings..The big white star is called the Invasion Star,for aircraft recognition.. and was added for the invasion in Normandy.."D"day.. Great job you are doing..a thing of beauty.. With the Canadian markings I'm sure you would draw a bigger ..more questions crowd..
