Title: Re: Neil's tracks [TANKS]

Just a thought for those using a T34 etc type of drive sprocket.
The pins had a bushing on them so the track teeth didn’t wear on the drive pins and this also helped when they engaged because it reduced grinding.
Have also seen this method on some small german half track vehicles.
Some of you might consider putting a bush (tube) over the pins to protect them and the threads if exposed.

Here is a view of the same contraption, I call it a cog, for lack of a better name.


 
This image is from a BT-5 recovered from the Neva river in St. Petersburg (used to be Stalingrad), Russia this year.  I have more pictures coming I hope.  A very kind lady who works at the museum where this tank is located has volunteered to snap a few key images for me.  I hope this helps!
