Well if the these vehicles really do have to be returned by the owners it's the perfect chance to use a front end loader, or impliment of choice, to do the maximum amount of damage loading them. Sort of like GL does with their vehicles on their lots. Or, parts could be missing on pick up. There...
cmp cargo box
If you want to sell the cargo box try posting on Maple Leaf Up ( MLU ) there might be some one looking for one. I know I am, that box is for the 8 hundred weight truck, pity I wasn't 2000 miles closer .
cut up MUTT's
I think with a little research you will find that the Mutt was cut up because it was sourced from the U.S.A. and that cut up order came from there, not here. With the marvel of ITAR that fine tradition continues. You can hang all kinds of s__t on the Liberals, but the MUTT...
Fences
Perhaps a fence might be as effective at keeping your neighbour out of sight as it would be keeping your dog off his property. Sounds like a win, win situation.
Sexton verses M7
The Sexton was the Canadian manufactured equivelant of the M7. The M7 had 105MM gun and pulpit machine gun. The Canadian Sexton had the standard Commonwealth 25 pound howitzer and bow machine gun. A google search will show the differances.
GPS technology is fantastic and accurate. Does seem a shame to have too take the whole hearvesting unit from the field, to the storage facility and shovel the load of corn off. GPS tracking and a shovel to unload, any thing wrong with that efficency bottle neck?
Well that is interesting, but useless as teeth in a chicken. The driver would never be able too see to line up the corn rows with the head. Marvelous engineering by stupid people.
The other possibility is that you could appear to roll over and have the truck all ready for GL too pick up. Remember not every one is pleased with what they find when they arrive to pick up their new purchase. Tires , engines, cab fittings, transmissions and other consumables may not be that...
Last year Ralph Journeay at Niagara Military Parts in Welland had an derelict M135 truck in his yard that I think might have been a MRT. It was in very rough condition and only had the short box left on it and no hydraulics left on it. He may also be a good source for used and NOS parts for...
T-16 Carrier
The Canadian universal Carrier ( aka Bren Gun Carrier ) was made by Ford of Canada and had three idler wheels for the track to run on. The T-16 was manufactured by Ford in the U.S.A. and had four idler wheels for the track to run on. The Canadian and American carriers had...
Scammel trucks
Try Welcome to HMVF - Historic Military Vehicles Forum and i think you will find what you are looking for. Since you know what a Scammel is then here is an old WW2 cartoon punch line. Soldier one is holding a camel by the halter and soldier two looks at it and says " I'm sure...
Well that just dropped the price of unregistered Iltises and made registered ones more desirable. By all means flood the military and your MP's offices with correspondence about this. I'm sure they have no other burning issues to deal with at this time. It might be smarter to accept the fact...
It is nice to see so many positive comments about the Iltis on this site. It seems the Iltis , like the M135, has a dedicated following of detractors. Being a fan of both vehicles that must make me a champion of the under dog.
Here is my solution to the body seam rust problem the Iltis is...
the foldable iltis?
I have had the body off of two Iltises now to do body work on them and I can't believe they fold up in a collision. The bodies are unit construction and with the corrosion in the body seams I can see some weakness developing. The frames I have seen do not deteriorate and...
