2 more part's weasels add to the collection


Recommended Posts

So, I picked up 2 more part's weasels to add to my collection. They are in rough shape but worth it for the tracks that are there.

The one with the hull appeared to have a 114 track conversion, but on closer look they are from something else. A 114 has 16.5 inch tracks and these are 18 inch, also the grousers are different along with how the track pads are attached to the belting.DSCF6060.JPG.00461788e8327ea29ac6d61488a6ea03.JPG

If anyone has an idea what these came from, please let me know.

The other set of original tracks have been worked on at one time and look like they will last for a while if not used too hard.

The engine that came with, unfortunately was missing 1 sparkplug and is locked up except for a little play so will need to be totally tore down to see if it is salvageable. On the good side there appears to only be oil in the pan.

here are a few more pics of them along with the extra parts that came with.

These appear to be French replacement tracks.

Note the weasel in the photo has wheels like the return rollers on the red one.

Can you post a photo of the rebuild tag on the motor on the yellow one?
