Let off the adjuster, break track and try removing a pad or two Chances your track bushings and pins are worn out Eventually you'll jump the sprocket if they are too loose our vehicles all use diehl track Don't forget the m548 track footprint is larger so an m113 set will be short

Time to pipe up. Yes we are a museum but a number of members and some assciates have their own rides inc Halftarack CCKW weasal CUCV and one associate has a couple of dozen WW2 vehicles. I myself would love to have one but retirement isn't all it's cracked up to be as family problems have crept...

I had this in a thread a while back as we were looking at this. The price was think 4 grand but we had offered a tax receipt and or cash/tax receipt. He's a trucker and isn't easy to get hold of. He bought it from a CFB London auction. I thought we had some type of deal going, but,he really...

Thanks to the local Kinsman Club we got to show 2 of our vehicles in the local Christmas parade. Always nice when you can get someone other than the Legion to be on your side and get some exposure. Some people (from NewYork)even came back to the museum to purchase a jacket and a regimental...

This definately an upgrade from the earlier AVGP Drizzly. The trim vane is off and propellers have been replaced with storage bins. Wheels and tires upgraded from Michelin 11.00 R16 XL to 325/85 R16 XML. It also has the crew commanders hatch behind the driver.( Open in picture) The couger...

M38 update. We picked up the parts for this baby from the previous owner. As evidenced by the pics I think we should moved it to a senior citizens residence as I hear they are good at doing puzzles Smith out

Seems they were just a steel disc rim put on to tow it to the bush as the current ones in use were removed . I saw a couple of abandoned 5 tons as well but I think the helo squadron uses them to drop loads into and off of for pilot practice. I had thought about looking closely at them but I was...

Saw pics of the two MLVWs that sold yesterday's Winnipeg ICAN auction and I'm afraid to say they looked to be in pretty good shape (less missing parts) for trucks sold as scrap. I've seen worse still in service with Militiiia units. Also I've seen one wwith a bed that was all internal shelving...

A local guy did the some cinematography for one of the episodes. I asked if they were doing more and he hasn't yet been contracted for any new ones. He gave me a copy on DVD of the 4 episodes. I'd like to see the finish of the comet and sherman but I guess we'll have to wait to see if the...

Checked out the Grizzly last night. Needs a lot of work but do-able. The biggest headache may the pile of spagetti hanging from the driver's panel. Engine looks good but needs to be totally reconnected and new hoses (Some were cut) We will try to get her running for spring. This is our winter...

Sorry slow reply It's in the text of my post. It's already been removed. Found 2 steel jerry cans and spouts in upper bin. Civvy winch removed also Regards Craig

I have to go look for a five ton right fender and the guy has a pooched CUCV ambulance and an all aluminum kitchen trailer(no aaccessories or tarp). He wants 1800 CDN for the trailer 175 CDN for fender but I have no price for the CUCV. Anyone care to give me a price and or comment on the...

Picked up 3 yesterday after an all night drive. Firstly the water trailer, nice semi restored condition. I only need to I D it as there are no data plates.(Seems WW2). Needs a new wiring harness and the landing leg.(Need a PIC here) Next was the M43 ex CDN ambulance converted to a hunting unit...

m38 recovery Started to clean her up last night. It is a 52 with a Ramsey winch. Some parts are still stickered from a dealer. Under the green paint is grey and under that is a red primer. This is in really good shape. It will be a long time job and it is not high priority as more vehicles to...

MLVW Pics OK OK I know enough said but I'm doing this for the Curious George SS members. Flog me if you will but I'm retired and I have broad shoulders so here goes These pics are from a reserve unit where these vehicles get only up to 25% use as those of the regular force. Our museum M543 is...

A big steaming piece of Bombardier rustbucket crap. If you get one you'll need 5 more for parts. Everything will be rusted and flaking. Better to find an old 50s pattern deuce with a good motor. Nuff said

Did the Ft George timeline show again this year. We actually had no cost to ourselves with other groups picking up the tab. We trucked in the heavies. We did a street parade and a roll past and did a couple of runs in the open commons with some re enactors who are used to airsofting on foot so...

We picked this up from a barn today. It has been a project that a guy started 25 years ago and just lost interest due to age. We trailered her to the gunshed. This is the bulk of the origional vehicle. We still have to pick up 3 skids of NOS parts purchased for it that are in a different...

We did the Russell Airshow last weekend which may turn into one of the best prop shows in Canada We had about 20 vehicles out with cam/tentage and weapons.(more to follow) There were re-enactors veteran's groups USAFR from Niagara Falls NY Canadian Army vehicles and some vendors. At the show we...
