Now that is a beaut'! You have work to do, but not nearly as much as my initial thoughts. (We've all seen the sad photos of logging skidders and farm implement-conversions ... sniff and cry a tear.)

VERY nice machine, John!

Is the production information stamped into the top edge of the armour plate directly in front of the driver still readable?

Lots of potential there...nice find.


I would far rather start with a gutted uncut hull than have a running cut hull. Good luck with the restoration.

Nice start to our fetish!!
Welcome and we do NEED our daily dose (for medicinal purposes you understand!!) of pictures.

Welcome, and a nice complete hull you have there, makes all the difference !

[John Stickney]

Ya, just like the rest of you I'm pumped to get started. All numbers are legible and seems to be mostly complete, as far as options goes. All gun brackets and antenna mounts are still on it, and storage boxes too. Un fortunately someone helped themselves to the missing parts i mentioned and thus left the engine open to the elements for about 50years. I'm still hoping to rebuild it if it's not too badly cracked. I will post more pics once i begin hope fully in March. like everything else, life gets in the way of progress sometimes.
