Hope you guys can help me throughout the restoration process. sorry about the shadows in the pics...... oh yeah, I do have the rear doors, but not the top doors.

I have seen worse projects to start with. You might try Sam Winer in Ohio for parts.

Kinda looks like one of those 100 or so that went through the Mt. St. Helens flood. They sat in a field and well . . . a LOT of water and silt got into things. Many headed south and the story goes, they weren't properly paid for from the proper owner.

Can we ask where you got it? As for parts, contact Red River Parts and Equipment in New Boston, TX, they may have various items.

SECO in Augusta has 1 or 2 left for parts. I would not wait though, I am guessing they will be scrapped soon.

Rapco in Bowie. he had two of them, thanks for the info.

I just got one also, so let us know what you find for parts. I'm missing the top troop hatches also and would like to find a set before I have to fab them.

Any of you guys get a lead on track pads for that thing let me know. I've been looking for some for a Walker Bulldog tank (same chassis) and have not been unable to find any.

I will look on Ft. Chaffee here in Arkansas for you guys, I remember some target hulks being out there, will see if anything is left.I would love to have one myself I just don't have the facilities to do it right, glad to see some others trying to save some old armor.

They can be hard to find, I managed to find a basically new set of tracks but they came with final drives, road wheels, sprockets and support rollers. All I wanted was pads but I ended up having to buy the whole lot, about 10,000 lbs., for my M42A1 Duster.

As of about a 1 year ago Seco also had brand new rubber pads available for the M75 and M41.

Anyone have a website or contact info for Seco?

Man!!!!!!!!!! you guys are a lot of help!!!!!!!!! I haven't got to start on it yet. Ive gotta 4x4 project in my shop right now. I need to finish it. its a 79 chevy long bed with 2 1/2 ton axles and 26" lift. 454 w/ a turbo 400 and 205 NP transfer case. lots of fab work.

 

[msehring]

I have an engine in the can for a M 75, not a M 41 or 42 motor.

 

[deuceman51]

I'm also looking for parts, but mainly the 2 rear troop hatches and 2 floor plates. Tried SECO, but Roy has been busy and hasn't got back to me yet on it. Anybody have some other sources besides SECO? Thanks.
