Lost and found, more than 50 years later and after 30 plus years of searching. Honored to be one of the steps in this journey. Many of you know that we will be completing the restoration of a Cadillac Gage V100 that served with the 504th in Vietnam, but what very few people knew was that this...

Among the field modifications performed on vehicles in Vietnam was the addition of a weapon mount from a M113 cupola to the V100 turret as seen in the attached picture. The V100 we will be restoring actually had this modification as the mounting locations are still intact, and we are in the...

Was hoping to use photos and experiences provided by surviving crewmembers that would be helpful on a restoration of a XM706E1 (V100) I remember Eddie Black was a great local resource for finding information relating to such things, unfortunately he has since passed away in 2007

Looking for photos, stories, names and interesting trivia relating to V100's with the 504th in Vietnam. Feel free to PM or email me and any help appreciated! Photo attached provided by R.Hill

That would be my understanding as well. Evidently some were better than others but of the many CG gearboxes I have worked on, I have seen no evidence that balancing had ever taken place.

On the last Caiman we worked on, we did a battery delete and tied in on the main battery. You still use the battery case as a junction box, but you strip the batteries out of it.

Here's a Caiman we performed some work on for a sheriff's department. Like all MRAP's, there's plenty of room for improvement on this equipment. Videos: M16 testing Barrett M82 testing Heading Home

Might try draining the fluid and refill with new. If it were mixed with another type, foaming can happen.

Checking and adjusting the balance on the transfer case gearing, both takeout and NOS from original packaging. As well as being exceptionally rare, the transfer cases are also known for their noise, and when you see just how much the gears are out of balance, you can have a better...

The Mk16 pintle mount will also fit, and I put a couple on my M114. I will see how many of the mounts I have like you have pictured and get back to you.

Thinking I finally have a good TCM calibration.

I am only aware of one person that is remanufacturing a v100 transfer case and he is on his third set of gears trying to get the proper backlash...the first set was too tight, the second was too loose but the proverbial third bowl of porridge seems to be juuuuust right. Fortunately for everyone...

I don't like horseradish, but it doesn't bother me that someone else eats it :-P

I practically idled through the entire route...Definitely had my head on a swivel.
