more
Some more detailed shots showing serial numbers and such.
Centre suspension unit has the cut off remains of what looks like a dozer attachment. And another shows two different roadwheels. Can someone shed some light on the background of these wheels? At the moment I am unsure if my tank is infact a M3 Grant or a M3 Lee as it has no upper hull. I have only been told it was a Grant. Is there any way to tell from the lower hull? ryan

Upper armour
Hi Ryan,
It looks like you might need some armour off the scrap M3 Hulls we have at the back of the museum.  We also have other parts you might need. Our M3 is now complete, though unrestored.Good luck with the restoration ! Cheers Phill

Dear Ryan,
loading or unloading tracked kit to or from transport often has a few ring twitter moments. I recently loaded 2 tracked AFVs onto transport, decks were frozen and I had very little leeway either side before I would drop off the trailer. Skating in a 12 ton vehicle you have only had mere seconds of previous driving experience with is daunting, but over time becomes part of the overall experience of ownership of tracked MVs. Needless to say, after reversing the first one onto a detachable gooseneck trailer and the hand signals from the numpty truckie were too little too late and my nerves starting to fray, I called it quits for the second one and drove it on front first but that put the vehicle back to front on the trailer. You should have some handy spares after you gas axe all the timber winch kit. Good luck Robin

Hi phill, it's a bit naked isn't it. A good starting point though. Great fun to drive too. The chap I bought it from said it originally had a petrol radial in it. The MAN diesel sure sounds nice though. I'm hoping I may be able to buy some armour in victoria soon. Your offer is generous and if I'm unable to locally I may have to take you up on your offer. Thank you.
Hi Robin, it's not a way I wanted my first drive to be but now that I have done it I'm pretty pleased with myself. Now that my nerves have calmed I may be able to find the other gears! Looking forward to giving it a bit of the right foot.

tank
Had to do some repairs on the weekend to get her running again. Nothing major, just a broken belt. Felt good working on it though.
She needs to be running and ready for a soon to be happening border raid.
