I'm sure the mechs had plenty of specialized tools and jigs to make their job better as I have already made a few things to make my job easier. I am really happy that they are going back together as well as they are.

Just completed fitting the other final drive. After putting it on I found it was too tight for some reason, so I removed it and disassembled tha one as well. I am glad I did as I found I never machined the bearing cup quite deep enough so back on the lathe it went and 3.2mm came out. I also countersunk the bolts that hold the planetary gear hub as a precautionary measure.

They are now both up to speed and ready for the tracks. I will probably wait and have them running to test the drive train and steering brakes. That light is getting quite bright at the tunnels end now.🤗

It's a tax man with a torch !
Great work though and it is so good that these very rare tanks found the right guy to rescue them. David

 David, one would hope it's not the tax man with a torch but hopefully his batteries will go flat. Thanks for your comments.😊

I have made and fitted an engine mount to suit the GMH Red motor that I will install and also made a mounting bracket for the twin hydraulic spool valve that will ultimately be connected to and controlled by the original tillers via rods and clevis's. By the time I install the engine, hyd pump, oil tank, radiator and any other part, it will still be quite busy in there. Still quite a bit of thought to go into it yet.

I have been busy making the valve control set up via linkage, making sure it won't interfere with the engine or hyd pump.
