I imported fifteen M113's with this lot. V/R Ron

Im trying to get this sub forum going again with some more posts. I imported a large lot of Israeli M113A2’s after a three-year back and forth with the State Department. It involved lawyers and other individuals who went and hand-delivered responses, letters and other pertinent information. It...

I remember passing the Army National Guard armory to and from school every day and there was a M60 painted in the MERDEC pattern. I always wanted a tank just like that one some day. V/R Ron

I think that one ended up going to Dan Stark's museum in Wyoming?? V/R Ron

I bought this M60A1 project from the widow of Steve Preston's after he suffered from a catastrophic accident in his M-41 Walker Bulldog and passed away. I didn't go looking for it but it was offered to me and because it had all the proper release paperwork from the USMC and Department of Navy, I...

I'll get some good pics of my M60A1 in action for you ;) V/R Ron

Here are two pictures of my M-50 after full restoration and DD registration. The service history of this Sherman is so rich from it's origins in Europe, Israel and finally Lebanon and then back to Israel after the Christian militia handed it back over to the IDF. It was initially part of the...

Tim, Not that I know of. I'll ask the guys to exact details of what happened to it but I thought it was a panel/box that went bad. They pulled one from another and confirmed that was the part. I just haven't had much time to source the part as we've been busy working on the "AS1" conversion and...

It was fifteen M113A2's ;) V/R Ron

The parts we have needed are all electronic. We've even got one of our Leopards live-firing again through in-house fabricating but nobody works on German "computer" engine management systems. Since we have so many Leopards, we used blueprints from the Australian AS1 to mod our Belgium 1A5BE...

I've got six Leopard 1's myself and I can tell you that the biggest problem with owning them is that spare parts don't exist (for the most part) here in the US. At least with my M-60 and M113's, there are plenty of spare parts you can find here in the States. Some countries don't like selling...

Unless you're directly on the West Coast, it would probably cheaper to have most tanks delivered to Galveston, TX so you don't pay the fees for going through the Panama Canal extra float time. This is for people in the Southwest of course. V/R Ron

Did you get your Leopard yet? I purchased some as well and they we are just waiting for approval to load on the transport ship. V/R Ron

You are more than welcome to come down to Battlefield and spend some time with my mechanics. We have over twenty HMMWV's in our motor pool and my mechanics (are either Prior Service or still in the Guard/Reserves) can brief you on key points to keep your HMMWV running properly. I have friend who...

Yeah.. but look at the bright side, you will have PLENTY of spare parts. I purchased a total of THIRTEEN of the original HMMWV's so I could use them for legally transporting customers to and from our range. I have purchased plenty of the recently released HMMWV's to keep my original fleet up...
