    A couple of M35a2 design and history questions

    Height reduction would also be an issue or factor when loading equipment into the hold of a ship as loose freight when the tier is going to be decked to support additional cargo above. Better use of cubige.

    Whale boats look so small handing on the davits on the side of an aircraft carrier but I believe on the ground they are over width and over weight. Permit over in 4 states ?

    Low air pressure buzzer is dead.

    The applicable regulation, I believe, requires a low air audilbe or light. Many trucks have both. It is a required item and if does not work you will probably be invited to have a seat in someone's police car and discuss what this will cost you. . .

    Gas engine is a LeRoi V8 of massive cubes and equally massive appetite for fuel. V8 Cummins is not a hill climber especially with just a 5 speed trans. Once dragged a M60 up a five mile grade on I80 and it took 45 minutes to get up that hill. 42 mph flat out even if driven off a cliff. Army...
