T-16 S/N 5399 T.D. 97377 Restoration

[horsa]

Hey Jim, looking forward to seeing updated shots of your jeep project as well when you get a chance. I know its tough to find time to work on it with the kids and the day job keeping you busy. My youngest figures my carrier project is just a third job for me except she can help out now and then.

Hey Jordan, I've got the exhaust system parts and mufflers to finish assembly but have put it off while working out other issues on the fuel system which is now complete. Should be posting photos of the two fuel tanks and associated parts this week. For now, I've got two shots showing the gunner position with the seat and lower bins finally installed. Plus a pair of really nice 1942 dated reproduction rubber grips





Not sure on the tracks being too tight Pablo. I'm still a novice at this but each side has a sag between the track return rollers which matches the specifications in the T-16 manuals. If you were comparing some of the older photos, they were taken when everything was still tight and had not fully freed up yet. Think the links are still loosening up and will end up with even more slack by the time I can get it out into a field for some real drive time. Attached shot below is from today when I was cutting tracks into the front yard and side lot which is all hilly. No problems with the tracks so far doing spins or going up and down hill.
