I think the german designs were more 3/4 tracked and because of the extra track area they dispensed with the drive for the front axle. They did have to make it more complex so as to handle steering in soft terrain, hence the track steering capability too.

If you guys want to come eyeball a ferret you're welcome to do so. Mine's in pretty good shape, needs a paint job though.

See if you can attach the breaching tool to the front towing lugs to make it a quick removal setup. You could also go with a set of specialist kit for bomb disposal as well as other uses. Think about a universal attachment system, like a 3 point system on tractors but like they used on...

Hey WG, might I suggest a few other things to think about? A HAM Radio Rig for working with civilians that are helping out during a disaster. Stowage straps for things that Police are always adding and stowing Additional lights for inside illumination A Mount for a Toughbook or other Police...

Or some 24 volt lights.

There's some folks out in Carrolton Ga that are restoring several M114 Cav Scout APCs. I've made a contact and gotten an invite out. How many guys would like to go out there to look and see the armor? http://www.wgtactical.com/ Anyone want to go? ps. My Deuce and trailer are in PA with the...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Cheap 5-ton tractors in VA Oh, they were both Gassers?

Those brackets don't shift a lot certainly not from an empty tank. Mine certainly didn't appear to flex at all when I added fuel to it. I did mount my brackets exactly at the same height and as close to the forwards/back position as possible as on the right side.

Doh, I've been eyeing these for my WWII group. We've got two 7 ton armored cars coming to the US this summer we'll need some way to move them around and a long and short wheel base 5ton semi tractors would be ideal.

They sure do. You get a nice whistle note with out the roar.

Nut much for pictures. I took a few but there's not much interesting really. I was too busy at the re-enacting event as comms NCO, unit commander for a group of guys, task force vehicle commander and scout car commander (lots of hats!). Some of our guys got pictures of the WWII event though...

check the capacity of the M1022. A 20' container is probably on the high end of it's load capacity.

It's just really well camouflaged.

RE: Re: RE: New Tire Setup on Deuce I'd agree it looks nice. However, now you have to carry two different types of spares. How much did the XLs cost?

The armored car is about 3.5 tons. Truck and trailer is 26,000 lbs (13 tons) give or take. I didn't hit a scale this time. The trailer and some of the cargo last time was probably 2.5 tons.

Ok, I made it to FIG on Wednesday. I averaged 45.7 mph, but that includes slowly churning around truck stops for fuel and such. I headed out of Atlanta around Noon Tuesday, hit the Quicktrip for a top off of the tanks at $2.18/gallon and headed north up I85. The truck was a bit sluggish but...

The FV series vehicles from the 50s are all pretty complex and Very capable for their size and weight. If they're taken care of they're quite reliable. Leave the servicing off or abuse them badly and they show it all over the place. I've had nary a problem with my wiring on my ferret. If you...

No TOW launcher there. the fitter's vehicle is for repairs and has a K-Boom crane on it.

Generally, that's how they were mounted unless there was a winch added, then they were mounted higher.
