T92 Track Difference

The_Chieftain: Looking at photos, all they did was just remove the rear idler and short track the system. Here you can easily see the mounting points for the idler.  https://farm6.static...86d52713a_b.jpg   Interestingly, Hunnicutt says that the original configuration was without the idler, and that the idler was later added to reduce the tendency to throw track. In that case, the mounting points would make no sense. I'm not sure what the story is, but I suspect Hunnicutt may have erred. I'll see if the TankNet guys have anything.   [Edit to add. Actually, some of the other 'short track' photos definitely do not have the mounting points. So it seems that Hunnicutt was right. It was built without idler, an idler was added by welding beams onto the back onto which the idler would be bolted, and then for some reason, it was removed again afterwards to go back to original configuration]
