    God I miss being a Bradley mechanic. The best part of my job was road testing Bradley's and driving my M88a1 on recovery missions. Driving a tracked vehicle just makes you awesome. Even though the M88s only did 20-25 mph, you felt like you were doing 50 simply because of where you sit as the driver and the amount of mass surrounding you.
    Thanks for reminding me of the good ol days man.
    P.S. Westin look up the M578 Light Recovery Vehicle. You might be able to find one in Army surplus. Would make insane UA-cam video content.

    I can’t believe that I’ve never noticed this before, but whoever originally setup that Ranger on the Tank undercarriage, did it backwards. Whether it’s an excavator or Dozer, Tank. They’re all meant to have the sprockets at the back of the vehicle and solid idler wheels on the front. You’ll wear off the grouser pads far faster when the undercarriage is not moving in “reverse”.

    • @ReapersKid07
      @ReapersKid07 2 місяці тому +5

      It's done right. The undercarriage is that of an M4 High-Speed Tractor, and artillery tractor used by the US Army from 1943 to 1960. It featured the same roadwheels, sprockets, and tracks as the M5 Stuart, but used HVSS suspension instead of the M5's VVSS.

    • @melchiorada
      @melchiorada 2 місяці тому +4

      Nope, many WWII era tracked vehicles had the sprocket in the front because the manual transmissions need to be near the driver. This looks to be the running gear off an m3 Stuart, which has its sprocket in the front.
