Perhaps Pz III and Pz IV crank handles are different. Mine looks more like the one on this video:

Could the 8 hole hub be for the idle wheel?

hello Bullit,
the 8 hole hub is about 20 cm while the 6 hole one is 19 cm. I have asked a friend to take the mesure of both road and idle wheel of this Pz IV, to compare:
One question...were the crank handle and the wrench painted? or blued? I would like to clean and restore them.

Thanks for the info Bullit,
I have been cleaning the items. Both hub caps had some remains of red primer and dunkelgleb. The crank handle is cleaning very well but the wrench is quite pitted. You can guess a different metal composition on them. Neither the handle nor the wrench seem to be painted. I will try to post some pics tomorrow.

cleaning
Hi Carles
How did you clean the parts ? moter tool or electrolyse?
At the beginning everything was primered in red oxide primer but lateron this was somethimes neglected and parts were sprayed in the final color.
The quality of the paint degenrated too at the end of hostilities ..sometimes water based.
ciao
