Waouuuu! what a beautiful job! It always gladly watch work like that.

I have a question: how did you restore the "power train"? do you have picture of that?

Supertrack

i replaced in the gearbox, the parts that were worn

It's easier to rebuild a gearbox to ward than a jeep.

You just need bigger tools!:rotfl:

The axles seem as good as we just change the oil seal.

We have changed many parts of the clutch to go on a good foundation. We also corrected the flywheel

The radiator was completely redone.

We have not dismantled all the tranfer box but we have done some work

change oil seal

change a ring bronze

we completely dismantled the hand brake and change the trim

the ward have air brake , in case of problems must rely on the handbrake it must be perfect

radiator

the ring bronze down was dead , if you have an ward look at it !

the hand brake systeme

i had repaint all after

ferodo

It's not new but the English viewed as working well, it can become!

Adrian thank you and the new owner to show us pictures of the acquisition and work on this tank

It's a great job! And just as impressive to look at.

A feast for the eyes.:iloveyou:

i live near Brest in "Finistere"

If I had to restore the ward, I will technically be able to restore the sherman. At least the hardware part and local

i paint the frame several time in order to protect it well

We sanded all the pieces of the ward in several campaign blasting.

A long work is hard but a result to match our efforts.:nut:

here are some pictures of the disassembly

we have removed all or almost

The most difficult part was removed was because the portico is a badly balanced:box:

this is the end of winding engine

It was not me. But I went several times to take Beke pieces before it's too late ...

While the engine was disassembled and revised

Yes , it was us in the supermarket "beke"

It was you and jim ?

Markheliops thank you for your proposals, but we usually all it takes to go the ward itself. Including two new tanks

we had change the valve , the valve spring and the ring piston .

the crankshaft is heavy

The chambers of cylinder heads are not beautiful

a valve spring is broken

We have cleaned the engine block

We completely disassembled the engine.

the crankshaft is very good condition

But we had a bad surprise on some of crankshaft bearings

See pictures:wow:

We removed the cab the gear box , the radiator and the engine .

To answer questions , the tanks are dead .

"I can see missing are the siren light and the search light. Both highly expensive unfortunately."

Yes we don't have for the moment . We see after for that .

We had made a lot of work at this time .

To begin,we dismantled the engine for to see his condition

The engine is blocked :-(

after a lot of work , the piston are removed .

Here are many pictures of the restoration of the wrecker.It arrived in may 2008

the truck is in good condition, it is a good basis for restoration because it almost complete.

The mechanics, however, is a complete overhaul. We decided to restore fully the best we can do.

The engine is stuck, we move the ward with a GMC. It's convenient

You can see the team , me on the right, my brother on the left

For the WLF i will show you that i had made at this time .

I live in Britanny (bretagne) near Brest ,in the west of France

Here I present you this project of restoration of sherman.

i Waiting to find a number of parts to start working.

In the meantime I restore a vehicle for a very good friend, in exchange I lend it to restore the sherman.

It's another story I'll tell you

this is the picture of this vehicle an heavy wrecker "ward lafrance"

SUpertrack

The power train was probably used as public works equipment.

it's yellow like public woks equipment

I guess he had a blade Buldozer

the two holes should be closed with hatches

Why do that? i don't know ? maybe for repairing it ?

For hardware, I have access to several moderately interesting machine, carrier truck, crane and other

Thank's for friend help .

We can fly an half track see picture:clap:

this power train is very heavy

first i buy it for the final drive

normally I can exchange the late power train against an early with a friend

The removal was not difficult, you just pay attention to her feet.

It's all for now.

Few parts arrive later.

Thank you for visiting and interest I'll post news when I have
