you have me interested with your comments that its possable that the gear box maybe from a Marmon Herrington two man tank, this fits in with what the late owners son told me, is there any chance that you or some of the armor boys might have some pics of the drive train of the Marmon Herrington incidently the motor that is still in the carrier was described as a large six cylinder petrol motor

Ron,

I have no extensive specs of the drive train of the Marmon Herrington two man tank. I do know the Marmon Herrington Company used commercially available components and that the engine was a Hercules 6 cylinder petrol engine developing 118 bhp at 3500 rpm. The gearbox must have been sourced from a company who´s main business was gearboxes, but I have no idea which company this was. Maybe the same one who manufactured gearboxes for other light tanks?

Here´s hoping you will save, or at least record, what is left of these elusive tanks: http://www.geocities.com/marmonherrington/tank.html
