Well I hadn't intended on leaving that but when the wheel cylinders failed,(which I honed out and rebuilt by the way) I wonder if the kit was old and the rubber was bad. Not sure why? Had to get it fixed. but it allowed me to up grade some track componets. Learning more as I drive the machine.
As far as hours yikes I can tell you how many years in October will be 5 years since the halftrack arrived at my place. It was hard to keep track of a 1/2 there 20 min's there. I know I got home alot of nights at 10 or 10:30 as my track was at a friends shop. There were some times I'd take a break and wouldn't be out there for 1 to 2 weeks. Seams like the boss thought I should spend some time with the family, go figure! It was like costs, I have a rough idea but I just resigned my self to the fact I just didn't want to know, sometimes ignorence is bliss! It was a passion from the start and I built it to drive and use this will NOT be a trailer queen, (untill the tracks give out)
