So I'm trying to figure out: when did the M4 Sherman stop having T41 and get T51? Is it maybe May 1943? The reason I want to know is because I'm trying to find some aftermarket tracks for the Sherman called "Hurricane." Thanks!
S.H.
Anybody know?
Not me !!!
No idea - but stikpusher will know

No, but I know where to look for the answer...
According to the Shaddock Sherman site, the T41 tracks were in production until at least March 1943. How long before the stock of inventory was used up in the various tank assembly plants and T51 tracks replaced them on the assembly line and in the supply chain is your best guess.

Well, I found something saying that Hurricane was "accepted" in September 1943. Maybe that means it was completed in September 1943? If so, I might go with T41 tracks...
Seeing how the T41 and T51 tracks are nearly identical in appearance, only being different in thickness on one side, I dont think you can go wrong either way.
I know what to do. Go with the cheaper one.
