Thanks for the reply, I really would appreciate any pictures you have of it. I wondered what ever happened to that one. Would you mind telling me how you found it, or any interesting details about it and where it came from? I have put together a Dragoon historical time line and that hull is very...
The US military only purchased a few around 1983 that are commonly know. The Army 9th ID tried two versions of electronic warfare test vehicles. The Navy bought a modified APC version for nuclear base security. I have some photos I found of Marines with a Dragoon 300 APC, it is likely a Navy...
In many ways I wish this was a silver series, they were designed to stop the "Green Leaker's" leaks. Although this engine is the same vintage as the hull it is going in, and the major accessory brackets, so it is ok with me this way. At this point I want a running vehicle. I will however line...
Do you still have this vehicle? If so, could I arrange a time to see it with you? I am working on a power pack for my early Dragoon, which is very much the same design as yours. I would very much like to see your engine and engine compartment in detail. At this time I am looking for information...
I have been building a power pack for my Dragoon over the last few months. The Detroit Diesel 6V53T and Allison MT 653DR came out of a 1980 Chevrolet dump truck. Fortunately I had a collection of the original early Dragoon hydraulic pumps, brackets, accessories and a Verne chain case with most...
It is possible that your vision blocks fit a Dragoon 2
I have a rear door that uses the thinner block. The Dragoon 2 blocks are also longer than the Dragoon 300 blocks for a wider field of view.
What are the larger face dimensions?
Long edge corner to corner?
Short edge corner to corner...

there is also a "Commercial Technical Manual"

1986 Operators manual basic vehicle, from Arrowpointe corp. For the Dragoon
The VIN was on a data plate, it was also stamped on the left front lifting ring. Your vehicle is very early and may not have even been given a full VIN, mine is of similar vintage and is stamped 14, later VIN numbers are: coded date of manufacture then sequence number like this "0625930172" for...
What year is your Dragoon, and if you don't mind, where did it come from?
I have been interested in them since 1997 when I got mine, and have been collecting information and memorabilia ever since. I know guy's that worked at the factory, and even met the founder. I have a couple of manuals that...
What is the year of you vehicle?
The early ones are smaller.
The front 6 are thicker (about double) for more protection than the rear 6.
How many do you need?
I have an early Dragoon, and know of some available vision blocks.
If you don't mind me asking, what PD had this one?
I have lots of...
M113-A2 or A3 Detroit Diesel 6V53T intake manifold, turbo exhaust pipes, radiator and or axial vane cooling fan assembly needed for my AV Technology Dragoon 300
Any leads would be greatly appreciated!
I think so too, I'm working on the power train right now, Detroit 6V53T and Allison MT653DR transmission. I am rebuilding the chain case, and need to make internals for the IN / OUT box (2wd / 4wd) unit.
