Dutch M578
Nice to hear from you Ruud,
We have now finished painting the outside of the M578 and started to replace all the small parts on the outside. Last weekend we took it to its first show only about 4 miles from my friends farm where the restoration work is taking place. I have not had...
Quite possible that was the case. If anybody needs new road wheels for M578, M107 or M109 I do have enough to be able to sell two complete vehicle sets (40).

Just purchased an M578 this weekend. It is in full running order, crane and both winches operate ok. Picture attached shows it on the lowloader ready for journey home. It is ex-British Army but is virtually identical to the US Army ones. I am missing the air cleaner elements, correct tow cables...
