T214 WC in disguise.

I've been arguing with the forum software for so long that I hadn't realised you were not all up to date with my latest WC in disguise.

Here it is then, one of four known survivors of the batch of 36 made by Iron Fireman in mid 1944. Coded T-36 Snow Tractor.

Engine is a vanilla T214 WC 3/4 ton engine, 12 volt version, as is the transmission, drives straight back into a Cletrac MG airfield tractor controlled differential. It also has a Braden MU winch directly under the drivers seat, with a pto chain drive back to it. They went wild with the instrumentation though and used Chrysler G-104 Sherman parts, so that hits the budget a little.
The rest is a mixed bag of stuff. Weasel wiper motor and hand primer, same engine heater flue as the T-26 Snow Tractor, but different engine heater. DUKW and Weasel type hand held spotlight

So, anyone on here got another ? I'm looking for any parts or info ( Dennis Spence at Portrayal did me a Parts List which is really useful ) Looking for any late WC t214 parts that have the G-231 code on the box too..
