Prc148 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Since I have one track off as I plug weld the floor in, should I pull the rear end and replace the steering bands? It hasn’t been driven more that 50m before I started restoring the floor. Should I do any seals on the bogies? I have a spare set NOS. I plan on rerubbering (cold vulcanize glue and strip rubber) the drive and idler wheel also. any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Browning Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I would see how it steers before you tear down the diff. That a lot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Browning Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 You might check a set of bogey seals And bearings to see how they are. Unless you drive it in sand or water every day the seals aren’t that important. Just keeps them greased up. I wouldn’t spend any time resurfacing the idler wheels when they are available on ebay for $45 NOS. That cheaper than I paid 6 years ago to have a set resurfaced.

M29 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Idler wheels on ebay are now 95 each times 2 per idler. Dan Edited February 24, 2020 by M29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Tipton Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Do you have any pictures of your floor? I am knee deep in it...love to see them. Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Browning Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 They’re still there. $45 per wheel. I thought about buying a few but have no use for them now. It always happens that way. A halftrack pedestal, cradle, and can holder fell into my lap now that I dont have anything to put it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M25 pedestal? I have some NOS idlers and may throw those in but if I’m using Oscsr’s bands, no rubber on the drive wheels from what I’m told.

Jesse Browning Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Not sure of the number. It’s the one that goes in the M-3 halftrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
