    Article: M211 The "Cadillac Deuce"

    They certainly were. Restored w/full canvas on, they are one of the better (arguably, the best) looking deuces out there. Matt

    Article: M211 The "Cadillac Deuce"

    This article was also in Military Vehicles magazine. I have a pretty complete collection of them upstairs. This is a pretty good example of his (Steve Turchet) earlier writing where it was fun to read (later articles are much more technical "how to" stuff) I can remember reading this one and...

    surviving high-speed tractors?

    There was a guy who lived a little ways south of me who at one point had 4 HSTs. Three were M4s (one was operational-got to drive it:driver:) . The other two were parts vehicles. He eventually sold the three M4s but kept the larger experimental tractor (M4A2) that at the time, was in excl...

    Size diff. M54 & 800/900 series 5T

    73m819 Thanks for the reply. I guess it's the 8" that does it (no jokes, please :lol:) The 800 (& 900) series trucks just look so much larger to me. It's been around 10 years since I've seen an M54 up close so maybe the memory has faded a little.

    Size diff. M54 & 800/900 series 5T

    Hey guys! Was curious as to the difference in size between the old M54 5 tons and the newer 800 (& 900) series trucks. I don't have one to do a side by side comparison but it seems to me that the later trucks are much bigger machines. Sorry if this is posted in...

    Any idea where this came from?????

    I remember seeing it on there (ebay) and I too thought it was a "cool concept" vehicle. I've also heard that Chuck Norris has a nite light. Not because he'sa afraid of the dark, but because the dark is afraid of Chuck Norris...

    Used a flamethrower tank?

    MD308 The flame thrower variant of the M48 family was the M67. There is/was an example sitting behind the APG museum a couple of years ago. I'd have to check my references again, but I think the fuel used was napalm and the crew was reduced to three-no...

    M8 greyhound questions

    Yes they can be driven on the road legally. However, I would recommend that if you do, you should always have a "spotter" ride with you as the driver's view is very limited (non existant to the rear) even with the front hatches opened. If you do purchase this machine, I think I have some manuals...
