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.
