What do YOU want to know about G-742 history?

[DavidWymore]

Ditto !!!!

Me three! I have known about it for quite a while, it's killing me.

Any info on the M275 and M48 truck tractors? Why where they made if the 5-tons I out performed them. Any history on on what divisions used them

 

[eme411]

I hope you will also shed light on the M-35 vehicles produced in other countries such as Canada and South Korea, both having different engines and transmissions than the US production trucks, then also the test vehicles,

How about some information on the 6x4 version of the m275 that was tested at Aberdeen? Were other 6x4 variants ever considered?

Has this book ever come out in print? Would be great to have...

 

[DavidWymore]

Yeah...dying over here!

 

[DavidWymore]

Any news?

 

[cattlerepairman]

[M35fan]

I would also love to own a copy, when it's finished.

It's no fun, for sure.

Better days are coming.

But nobody can say when. Not yet.

Put me down for a copy please. I worked on the Canadian version my entire career, from the day they arrived in our lines to the day I retired in 2011 and still see them on occasion at my government job. Now heading off to the scrapper, not a fit ending for a 36+ year life.

I wanted to buy one but the government desk jockeys decided to sell perfectly good trucks as branded "irrepairable" to make sure they would never be register-able again.
What a waste.

I had my eyes on the engineering version with the LWB and Palfinger crane. Oh well.

Holding is good until one runs out of fuel
What did YOU decide?

Mr. Doyle,
A mention of why my multi-fuel 1969 M35A2 never "clatters", That Diesel clatter, yah know.
The Hercules/White/Man patent engines will run and run when not abused. Goin on 52 years, still runs good.
I saw your offer of books but I too old to collect now. I sad.
You have done a fine job, Thank You.

Wow. The record drawings for the patent are so simple and clear. Very cool.

Thanks, frank8003, you always come up with good stuff!
