If you watch the video you will see the half track and a strange other smaller tank which was actually a Clark airport mule down under the movie body. I also had a Ford universal carrier on that series that may be in this episode. It was dressed up to look like a covered wagon looking fighting vehicle. This was all filmed in the pit at a Brampton, Ontario brick works.
It is strange that the Captain Power series failed because parents felt it too violent for their kids. It seems pretty tame compared to today's video games.

Now that is a unique bit of vehicle history
Interesting bit of vehicle history, that it was used in one TV or Movie is there any indication that it was used in others? How did you come to find the video?
Cheers Phil

Most of the post war frame mods are gone. Just need to clean up. Tracks are off, and everything pivots,rotates,roll etc so that's a bonus. Also after removing a lot of the post war stuff, it turns out she was an M4A1 Mortar carrier not and M2A1. I will be converting her to the M2A1 configuration.

Got all the drums off and got the brakes done. The front Diff was NOS so i just changed out the wheel cylinders as there was brake fluid crud sticking the pistons. The rears were a different story, everything was rusted. Pulled the rear pumpkin and found rust had taken its toll on half the assembly. I sent it out to my drive train guy who didn't think it was that bad. In the end it only needed one side bearing as it was starting to turn black and pit. I am told the rear floor is done at the fabricators and will be on its way to me soon.
