German Assault Gun StuG.III Ausf.B

StuG III Ausf. B: (Sd.Kfz 142; June 1940-May 1941, 300 produced) Widened tracks (380 mm).

Two Rubber tires on each roadwheel were accordingly widened from 520x79mm to 520x95mm each. Both types of roadwheels were interchangeable. The troublesome 10-speed transmission was changed to a 6-speed one. Frontmost return rollers were re-positioned forward. This reduced vertical movements of the tracks before they were fed to drive wheel, and so reduced the chance of tracks being thrown. In the middle of production of Ausf. B. the original drive wheel with eight round holes was changed to a new cast drive wheel with six slots. This new drive wheel could take either 380 mm tracks or 400 mm wide tracks. 380mm tracks were not exclusive to new drive wheels. Vehicle number 90111 shows older drive wheel with wider 380mm tracks.
