My J5 is starting to come together slowly. I am going through the differential now. Need to change bearings but all else looks good. Once that's in I can finish the front and then install the roll cage. Then it will be time to start work on the tracks. I'm hoping to have it usable by fall. Here are some pics.

Very nice Buster ! Lots of time spent trying to think of everything and where it goes, your doing a great job.For the winch are you running a hyd pump off the crank or is that it on the left side of the engine ?

I haven't had a lot of progress to report but I have started working on it again. I just finished painting my wheels. I will install them as soon as the new bearings arrive. I will take some more pictures then and post them in a week or two. Just haven' been able to find the time to work on it. Hopefully I can start building the tracks now. Sorry I haven't posted lately. I haven't seen any of your Muskeg project. Have you posted pictures?

Hi Buster
Your project looks great, I know the feeling when you put it on the side lines,it's hard to get rolling again! My Muskeg project hasn't had any new pics posted lately, it can be found under " Muskeg hull rebuild " on page 2 of the resto section.
Keep up the good work ! J5 Bombardier
