supertrack Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 thank you for your encouragement. I'm not pretentious, this project is difficult and is the only sherman in my hand. I love it in better condition. Lack of finance is an obstacle to my research, but in France there are some parts that are hidden and I have friends who help me. Here are some finds. some wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveo578 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Supertrack The one piece differential housing is a bit odd- the two neat holes above the calipers, do you know what it was off, was it used as some sort of plant equipment.

supertrack Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 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 ?

Jack Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 yes but i'd imagine that the authorities would make money on the sale of 2 vehicles they have never maintainedas opposed to spending money on vehicles they have to Fox - do not even consider asking if you can have a ride................:coffee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Fabulous photos! Having friends with heavy lifting equipment is better than money! Having good luck is better than having friends with heavy lifting equipment. I think you have both! I look forward to seeing this restoration develop.

kpu121265 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) Great news on your engine mon ami. Our engine is finally on it's way to us after about 6 months - just need the firewall and the rest of the interior now... If you have a spare final drive flange - the one which bolts on to the gearbox end of the prop shaft, and a spare first motion shaft let me know. Progress is progress..... Amities.

Amphibi boy Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Will be great when its finished, good to see another piece of history saved, keep up the good work, and enthusiasm.
