Re: 1944 M-29 C Weasel Restoration.
So that includes the T-15 track as the very first type, is that right? Where could I find that information, I sure would like to read about the development of the track types.
I am looking for a front vent cover with operating lever, support arm and a muffler screen. Anyone have any leads?

Re: 1944 M-29 C Weasel Restoration.
This is my third weasel. I had two back in '04 - '06. 1 was a T-24 and the other an M-29. They both had the same style track I'm working on now. I can't tell you the grouzer count as I never knew the difference then. The track I am working on now both have 55 grouzers with wide outer bands, must be Type 4 then. Right? I also know about the the Type 3 with the single Vulcanized Wire Rope for the outer band, and I know of the 15 inch type, but didn't know there were two models of them. Do I have this correct now, or no?
I was told back then that there were three types of track. I can't say whether or not the few guys who told me this knew what they were talking about. It seems that there is always more to learn about the machines we love to wrench on...
Oh yeah, thanks for info update.

Hello. Congratulations on a beautiful copy of the weasel, mine was just an idea for ..... weasel I can see that you are reaming the rivets so I started but I think that cutting rivets with an angle grinder is much faster. Good luck in the reconstruction of Tomek

Re: 1944 M-29 C Weasel Restoration.
Hi Tomek!! Yes, an angle grinder is much faster, but I have a specific reason for drilling the rivets out. More will be revealed soon.

Re: 1944 M-29 C Weasel Restoration.
So, a lot of time has passed since the first photos of the track rebuild. But here is my 20" track all back together. Thanks for looking.
