The inside is as far as I can go with the carrier on its side. I have installed the fuel tank brackets and refurbed and fitted the rear gearbox mount as well. With the aid of my very good helper Andrew we turned the carrier on its wheels and he took it outside so we can give the workshop a good clean.

Yes Graeme, he's definitely a keeper and I need to teach this grasshopper well
Here's where the carrier is at the moment. I'm ready for the rear wiring, airscoop then the engine but that will be next week.

I don't know how everyone else puts their tracks on but this is how I do mine.
I lay my tracks out (176 links if new), push the carrier on top until the idler wheel is about 1/2 mtr in from the end. As you can see in the Pic, I use a chain and thread a link pin through and secure the chain over the idler andall the way back to my fork,(car, truck, bus, tractor, train, or whatever you have) then simply tow back until the carrier in in the correct position for the track winch to be put on.

Two dogs and a seven year old boy. And here was I thinking you did all the work Mr Jones. No wonder you get so much done.

Jack, you've made a mistake. The animal in the second photo is a Clydesdale!
