M172A1 manual...
Bought one on ebay...about $15...the 1981 version. Just type in M172A1 and you'll be able to 'buy it now'. Mine was brand new...NOS. Thought about making copies...but cheaper and easier to just order an original. Good luck...

Hard to miss my 1970 M35A1 parked in front of my ammo shop on S. Michigan St. ....been there for over 15 yrs...LOL. Just don't have room for my (5) M105 trailers, FV432 APC, Ferret and the M172A1 trailer just brought back from VA. Too many vehicles and trailers...not enough...

Road trip coming up to pick up an M172A1 25-ton low-boy semi trailer in Blackstone,VA. I'll be traveling empty from there to South Bend,IN and can haul just about anything from an FV432 Brit Bulldog to an M35 series truck. Would consider anything under 20-tons and within 200 mi. of travel...
