I'd take the Goat, even in that condition, if he threw the M114 in

 

[combat32]

I don't know, its basically missing everything but the hull and tracks, i saw nothin there but big dollar signs.

That's called "owning armor." If it was affordable everyone would have some. Also the primary reason I don't own any.

 

[combat32]

I reckon you are correct, i be too po. I remember the cost of replacement and repair parts on the Bradley, 113 and M1.
On a bad day you could spend 150k before you left the motorpool. Heck each vision block on an M3 Bradley was 1,100 bucks.

Saw this M102 howitzer at the 25th ID museum at Schofield barracks. Sure would look nice behind the goat. Wonder if they would miss it?

No Goats on display here that i have found, but i know they had them here back in the day.

Should fit in the over head..

I think i found the only Gamma Goat in Hawaii. 1973 dated M561, fairly complete.

Its located behind hangar 79 at the pacific aviation museum on Ford island at pearl harbor.

Excellent job. Worthy of a Steel Soldiers decoration very likely, only....

Back on the goat today after a long break, spent a full day sorting out where i left off, much still to do.

 

[wsucougarx]

Great to see you're back at it. Looking forward to updates!

 

[combat32]

Forgot too much stuff, i was in a big hurry to get the motor stabbed in late last year. And i forgot i was missing some bolts in the e brake drum, dont know how they went mia but were gone when i got the truck. I bet it was some lazy sp/4 mechanic in a hurry to get done. I better fix it now.

 

[m38inmaine]

Good catch Tom, glad to see you are back on track.

 

[combat32]

Learned something new, i guess. Original flange on the left, only has 4 bolts, I thought the others had broke off, not so. Looks like it only ever had 4, replacement on the right that I took off one of my old spare t- cases. I'm this far so gonna replace it anyway, I think 8 is better than 4 for the main driveline, but maybe I did all this for nothin. Perhaps it was an upgrade of some sort, rebuild?

I believe I have the answer from my soon to be published goat book. Here is your answer direct from the book..
