    Here is another track fix idea that may help. This track repair kit is made by Trond Overvik in Norway. Trond's pictures below tell the story better. I believe that Trond still frequents the Weasel forums and may still make this track fix kit.

    Small job for yesterday. I installed the idler arm lock nuts with my 15 minute spanner. That's how long it took to turn a piece of scrap steel into a spanner on the bandsaw. Crude but effective. The job was again made easier by using @Gszechyexcellent thrust and lockwasher kit. https://www.garysbunker.com/shop/m29-parts/thrust-lock-dust-shield-kit/

    Hi Byron, Outstanding work. You have not lost your touch with weasels🙂. Attached a some photos showing a NOS Weasel marker lamp. I hope that it will help you to identify what you have got fitted to your weasel. Take particular note of the mounting base, it is unique to a weasel.

    Hi Bryon, The following photos show how I replaced my engine cover seal. I have used a rubber extrusion in lieu of the original webbing piping. Also I believe that the seal is positioned on the higher side of the engine cover. If it was placed on the low side, it would not seal against the hull side due to a channel running fore and aft in the hull side. Sorry about the dust on the engine cover.

    Hi Byron, I can't answer your question asking if the shift lever and steering tiller arm support should have one or two bronze bushings. In my case I erred on the side of caution and fitted two bushings. BTW my high/low range selector has bronze bushings as well. While you have the assembly apart, can I suggest that you add some grease ways to the tiller and shift selector shafts.

    The front float tank is now resplendent inOD. The tank is now ready to be attached to the hull.

    An economical fix for your tracks would be to adopt a system similar to what Tom at Snake River 4x4 developed; http://snakeriver4x4.com/weasel-parts I do know that nowadays Tom does not offer the track belt kits for sale however his website shows what can be done with your tracks.

    M114 Tracks

    OZM29C posted a topic in Headquarters

    Just going through some of my old archived weasel photos and came across these photos showing M114 tracks being retrofitted to a Weasel. The photos date back to 2001. You will see in the photos a reversed control weasel. I would hope that the owners of these weasels do visit this forum and could tell us more about their modifications.

    @Patrick TiptonAnother piece of Weasel 'Unobtanium'🙂 Well done! I note that this set of tracks has the standard sized (high) track guides.

    The Radio Power Outlet is now installed
  20. OZM29C
    Yes @Patrick Tipton The weasel is finally starting to come together. What I forgot to mention was that the accelerator pedal in my photo has been modified IAW MWO ORD G179-W9. I have also added a grease fitting to the accelerator pedal bushing. Maybe an over kill but nice to be able to lubricate the pedal shaft if needs be.
  21. OZM29C
    Pedal assembly installed. Last job of the day.

    @Kevin Vogel I have posted these photos and info here on the forum in a separate thread but I will post again to help you out. More that likely when you get your pump apart, the mechanical seal surface will be either worn or corroded. In my case as you can see in the photos, my seal surface was beyond redemption. I chose to machine and fit a replacement 316 stainless steel collar. Any competent machine shop could do this job. I used a generic Chinese water pump bearing and also machined it to size. I have had my engine running on a test stand and so far so good. The photos will better show what I am describing. Good luck with your repair.

    I had a very productive day on the weasel today. Internal hull painting is finally done. I then managed to fit some weasel Jewellery bringing this successful day to an end.

    This is how I got my pulley off. I have made a strong back adaptor that bolts to the pulley flange. At the centre of the flange/adaptor I have added a hole which allows a drift to be positioned against the water pump shaft which in turn allows the pulley to be pressed off using a hydraulic press. The picture below better shows what I am describing.

    @Patrick TiptonPatrick, again your attention to detail is commendable. Once the side is in, where to next? Can I make a suggestion for a practical mod while you have the hull repairs under way. I believe that a final drive oil drainage system would be of benefit to you further down the track. Below are photos of the two different styles of Final drive drain. The first is for a T24 final drive that I believe was not fitted with a drain plug. I have had to drill and tap a plug into the final drive housing. In the latter photo I have fitted a removable hull plate to access the later style M29C final drive drain plug. Hope this makes sense. Cheers
