The M-113 windshield was very interesting , you drive into the sun and the whole world in front of you vanished, never mind the wind I need to see , that windshield came off real fast,

Still looking for some

There is something else you will not find in the room , Cam Magazine , printed in 43, 44 and 45 published by the Directorate of Mechanical Maintenance NDHQ, everything was for motor transport, service info , how to in the field etc, very cool little books, still missing 4 issues,

Looking for a few sets of RCEME shoulder titles for the old combat slip ons , type used prior to forces amalgamation , new or used ok, also any other interesting EME items

Anyone out there have a complete 106 set , we're looking for one for our museum,

do any of you know if the break is the same on all the vehicles? if so this looks like it's all about the torque rod mod allowing to much lateral movement and stressing the stud to the point where it just breaks off, they should expect this break on every ML that has had the torque rod mod done...

what I see here may be a issue of quality of the part ,  over torqueing the nut , and also the fact that we are the only ones that install a V-8 power plant when all other users of the M-35 install a 6 cylinder , more torque for the trunion  and torque rods , this is  the item that does fail on...

Hi , interested in the compass and tool bag, let me know please, regards Frank

Interesting that this has happened now after the CF has scraped over 400 M-113's , we should really jump onto some of the US contracts or see what they have to sell, ie. we can go back to the 5/4 CUCV , here we were driving our 76 5/4 's into the ground and we could have purchased more CUCV's...

That's great, one of my buddies has a photo of the ML he was driving being recovered by that ARV, also the gun plumber from my unit also crewed on that vehicle, I have all the files from Meaford for the ARV and the vehicle came with all of it's kit,

We have these vehicles and more in our museum , all are runners,

I read and see all the things going on with CF tactical vehicles and just shake my head, we have gone from a gas power fleet to diesel that gave us great reliability and have now moved to computerized engines with no end of problems ie logistics , and no longer able to repair in the field , all...
