Its so sad...We are on a former immaculate Naval Air Station....since its been handed over to the civs...its trashed...
I mean really? Boats ? Cars? ALLL KINDS of **** crime wise...
So smooshing that boat...(the second one so far) is kinda therapy for us museum guys and vets of the base...

Stuart,
Yes. that TOW turret is what came off this 113...It was a 113 than modified as a M901...then we took the turret off....to turn it back into the classic...and the other 901 we painted Desert storm.....both run. the museum got them out of DRMO for $150 each...(service fee to SASP)....

Before shots....prior to taking the 901 turret off...
THis track needed the interior painted too...that part sucked...

Pics to enjoy...anyone sees something we are missing and can or wants to donate to this living memorial to the 3/4 Cav guys from VN , please let us know!!!
Heres the only 113 in Hawaii...
We have a M901 as well...but our 113 is coming along slowly.
It was damaged in VN by a Glancing RPG round...and the BD is still evident....
We need track pads desperately...
Any one out there know where to find new track pads for a 113???
This track is marked up...
I would check backwards from the starter as well...
We have a 113 here and no problems so far...

TEXAS IS RIPPING YOU GUYS OFF!!

Another thing, check your emergency stop T-handle is in...If it was pulled to shut down inadverdantly you gotta open the hood and just reset it.
Deisels will ALWAYS start if they get fuel and the pistons can smoosh that to 400 psi.
Dont baby too much.
Have fun!
That M number is a thing called a RUC code.. It actually tells you what USMC unit it was assigned to...
For example...
1/12 Artillery from Kaneohe Bay was M69009....
Or
Combat Service and Support Group 3 was M13001...
Its painted on the doors , front bumper, and tailgate....
I bet if you called...
