Today at the beginning of the new year.
Had my faithful Postman make his first delivery to me. Two boxes of 19kg each.
With Steel tracks to my Late Tiger One.
I am so happy and satisfied, they are so perfectly made.
Have a nice day.

My old Tiger, needed some love.
I noticed that my left track wasn't going straight.
so I checked this with a steel ruler, and I then saw that the idler wheel was not aligned.

After taking off the idler wheels, I see that they also need some TLC.

I'm lucky that no shaft is bent, they just need a cleaning and new grease.

I manage to pull the side plates together into the correct position.

After this I take a 10mm steel shaft and thread it to M5 on both ends. I make the thread 40mm deep so that the M5 screw from the outside has extra deep thread.

I also put the grease nipples on the axle holders.

Have a nice day to you all

That Tiger looks like it has driven some miles!

We have several Tigers in our Kampfgruppe so it will be interesting to see if any of them have opened up at that point in the hull.

Hi Robert,
What caused the hull to pull apart like this? Did you drop it? :o
Good to fix now before the steel tracks do more damage.

No I have not drop it.
To be completely honest, I'm not 100% sure what caused this.

Have a nice day

Robert, did the steel tracks cause additional sag on the suspension.
The tracks look beautiful.

Also removed the snakenest of cables from the Tiger.
