Very nice work.. I would love to have one of them in my fleet pulling my Canadian MP trailer. Have you had any exsperiance getting them into the US? You could sell the heck out of them here if you did them up like the one in the pictures. My wife would love one..
You wouldnt happen to know if...
thanks Chris.. I will get more info from the tags and get back with you. It is very possible that one of these served at the plant.. No luck on the 8.25x18 inch tires.. Let me know if you find some.. A complete manual would help so if you make a copy I will take one... I will tell Joe "the guy...
congrats on that tractor !! I watched it but to far for me to haul 19 thousand pounds.. Not in bad shape and with a Mack engine you got a good price IMHO.. Keep us posted on her progress. Are you going to restore it? I thought maybe someone on the site picked up that rare gem..heheheh
Nice work John!! You da man! So when do I drop off my deuce for a compete rebuild in 2 months?
Still working on the Aberdeen trip. Fighting on multiple fronts.. Not sure yet but trying.. I will keep you posted.

Well it was put in the light that the owner of the company was not going to change anything to do with the design of their motor. They had plenty of work and was of the mind set that there desighn was superior and would not bend to the armys requests? Yes P off is a bit harsh but thats the way...
Its my understanding they put Macks in them for three years. The Army wanted Mack to make changes to the engine and Mack told them to piss off.. Not changing there stuff! = contract termenation.This is the story I recieved from a very credable soarce... Dont have any hard facts to back it up...
Yep.. Like them little jeeper/truck things. I have a couple of the M101CDN trailers made to to pull behind them. There are a few here in the states but yes very hard to get accross the boarder. The story here in Michigan is to tittle them as a ORV, or list them as ORV's at the boarder. This is...
RE: picture of trailer rim and hub
No they are not the same as any of the US version trailers.. M100,M416,and so on.. I was just wondering because both types of vehicles have VW herritage.. So I assume all the others are different too. Unimog,Land Rover,Volvo, and so on? Wish they would make...
Hey guys.. Another couple questions I have .. Is the wheel/bolt pattern the same as a Iltis vehicle? Are those 16 inch rims on the Pinz ? I have some Canadian M101 1/4 ton trailers that are the same as the Iltis. Brand new set of 7.50/16's Michelin XL's on them. Sure would be nice if they would...

Most of the time $600 to $1200 depending on the shape, modifications,and location.. Also location plays a big part.. You could have a very nice one in the middle of the desert and not be able to give the thing away.. This has been my exsperiance anyway..
Wayne!! Didnt know you were on the board.. Awsome and glad to see you around.. Yes we did some sub work and some cypress stump removal.. heheheh.. Thanks for the info and i will defanetly have questions when I get one. Looking for now while the wife saves her money.. I will have one in the...
just o another note before putting it back together. That head may be warped? Have it checked and shaved if needed. Also check the block deck? This could be a reason for loose bolts and or the head gasket blowing,if so you will just have it do the same thing again.. Bummer this happened..
Sas.. That picture is awsome!! Just to cool.. So you of all people can appreciate the sound of a flathead..
Maddawg: Sounds like a fun place for a recovery operation! Maybey we can find some old Dodges or any OD iron frozen in the ice.. like they did with those P-38's that were under about 100'...
RE: Oh yes
Did a little research.. They made 7- XM152's with winches.. 52- M43's with winches up to 1955
There was a total of 1038-M152CDN trucks made up to 1955 and 409-M43CDN trucks made and 672 of all models of these vehicles had winches.. Does not say which ones? but for a total of 4524...
