Gestern wäre mir beinahe das Sdkfz aus dem Krahn gefallen. Hatte eine Heiß Vorrichtung gebaut, Stropps angeschlagen und dann angehoben. Leider war der Schwerpunkt deutlich weiter hinten, als vermutet. Konnte das Scheißding gerade noch abfangen, sonst……..
Dann habe ich die Ketten aufgeschnallt. So weit so gut…
Heute der 2.Scheißtag. Ketten laufen nicht so , wie sie sollen. Rückwärts rattern sie durch. Rückwärts laufen sie auf. Spiel zu gering. Also Fett und Öl als Zaubermittel. Rückwärts marsch!!!
Vorwärts läuft erst eine Kette, dann nach Androhung von Gewalt auch die Zweite. Mach jedoch einen Höllenradau.
__________________
Experiment with the translator:
Yesterday almost the Sdkfz from the crane I would have fallen. Had a hot device built, chipped slings and then raised. Unfortunately, the focus was much further back than expected. Could the damn thing just to catch yet, otherwise ........
Then I strapped on the chains. So far so good ...
Today, the 2.Sch..XX day. Chains do not work out as they should. Reverse rattle through it. Reverse run it on. Game too low. So fat and oil as a charm. Backward march!
Forward only runs a chain, then the threat of violence and the Second. Mach but a hell of a racket.
Die Laufwerke sind total mit Öl und Fett eingesaut. Nützt nichts. Werde wohl noch eine Weil zum Einlaufen brauchen.
---------------------
The drives are like mud with oil and grease. Does not help. Will probably still a need to shrink because

Thank you for your good words. Waiting for good wether.Will then the landing gear use in the garden. Chain rotates. Tolerances are very small, so the chain is still very hard. Hope it is still supple ....
Now I have already started with the 8.8. To get the tires to the rims was very difficult. Only after I have the rubbers "cooked" in hot water, it went.

Wir haben schönes Wetter gehabt. Also raus mit dem Zossen. Probefahrt und einmal mit Der Videokamera draufgehalten.
Kurvenfahrt im Gras ist ein bisschen schwierig. Drängt dann schon mal über den Reifen. Kette scheint mehr Laufruhe zu bekommen. Abwarten.
Nun warte ich auf mein Personal. Dann kann das Finish beginnen. Feinheiten wie Kette im Einstieg, Nummernschilder usw.

Great video Rolf.
It looks as though it is running fine and will get better still after some
use.
Looks really good on your lawn and your garden looks very nice.
Cheers
Phil
