The square angled piece on the sheet metal deck is the bracket to hold the jack block. The exhuast covers are supposed to be like that. One is solid since the tarp sits on it a bit. Underneath the sheet metal is asbestos. The other is just open mesh style since no tarp.

We are all waiting patiently, but ...
... they always look better in the pictures, they do, really.
I haven't been home to see my K-38 yet either, but I know it is at the farm in one piece. Gordon

right job done !! i feel drained with the stress, we had a drop of 12" between the container and the recovery truck so we had to relocate...... managed to pull her out what a S*** Heap was mentioned by many, they just cant see what i can, found some bits more worse than i expected but also found 99% of the linkages in workable condition so happy days ! the cover off the cam plate has disintergrated and is knackered so i will try my best to peice the bits back together and make a pattern for those that want them. managed to free up 90% of the seized track with a couple of "Wollops" with the hammer, going to strip them into sections and stack them up.
a few pics to follow in due course, but a cup of tea is in order about now Rich

some pics of it in the UK, got to unload into my garage (the easy part really) ian comes back later after work with the truck.
   started to break the track into section, these two sections were from the bottom of the track (against the ground) which has not been moved for seven years !! one broke up really easy but the other one....nearest to the wall looks to be in a bad way.  seem pretty straight though

Richard, Good luck with your project. I'm sure you will find the parts you need with the MLU network. What you have is a great start.
Regards. Colin.

Soak your track in oil, while your working on other parts of it. go back to it later, and with a pair of pry bars poked into consecutive tooth holes, try working the links on the pins. Once you have them all moving, put the track away to drain. I used hydraulic oil, and it worked a treat for me.
P.S. You look very young.
