Now here is a good pull: Smart car with a Sherman Easy-Eight Actually we pushed with the Pinzgauer but it works great. The front hitch on a Pinz is real handy. Now the Smart car, who would have thought?:tank:

We've towed with our M710 Pinzgauer lots of times. They roll pretty easy. Stopping is another matter.

Looks good to see one in original livery.

Interesting. Didn't intend to hijack thread thread, but it all is cool stuff to me.

A lot of myths out there for sure. Has anyone ever determined proof of any M715s in Vietnam? Kinda reminds me of the short-lived experience of M114s in Vietnam with the ARVN. That didn't last long at all.

Actually, the Aussies never sent any Ferrets to Vietnam. This is documented in the book "Mud & Dust" as well as the Australian War Memorial archives. We researched is years back when there were reports of Aussies using Saladins in Vietnam as well, which never happened, either.

Very cool. Ferret was a bit out of place, though. What's with the camo on that thing?

A V-100s value depends upon the model, condition, paperwork- is it titled and legally owned?- and how complete and original it is. We would need to see detailed photos.

Cabover designs allow for much efficient use of space. The Pinzgauer 710M, for example, is only inches longer than a MUTT and no wider, yet it hauls 10 people, or 2000lbs. of gear. 8ft. bed in a 12ft. vehicle. Over the road US trucks, conventionals are quieter and easier to service. That's why...

While similar, the V-100 and Dragoon are not the same vehicle.

Glad you got it handled. That is the bell crank I was referring to. You should be good to go on shifting. Let me know when you want to do the carb swap. I have a Holley all set up I can make you a deal.

I've had similar experiences, some USAF guys, too. One guy drove 200 miles with his grand kids just to see it and show them. For that, I let him drive it around and give them the experience.

We got ours up to 9mpg with the 650 Edelbrock carb swap. That 350 Holley is sloppy.

Very nice.

4. It ended up costing a lot more than you ever dreamed.

Actually putting a high speed fan in the hole helps a lot on hot days, moving slowly like in a parade. That's a pretty big dead air space otherwise.

Glad to help out on the shifting. And- indirectly- on helping you get your M-79 mounts. Sounds like you're really getting there. Brakes are easy to tune.

The right side shifting link; the part it attaches to at the transmission is the bell crank. The bell crank pivot needs to be snug fit with no play or you will be fishing for gears. As for rear axle problems, in the context of 18 year old GIs vs. adults...enough said. I don't think anyone has...

You gotta do the heim joint mod on the shift linkage if you ever what it to shift consistently. My 6 year old can shift mine now.

Looks great. Looks like Earl has lost some weight, too.
