- A detail walk around video of a Restored M114 Command and Reconnaissance Carrier. Video was filmed at the 2016 Red Ball military Vehicle show Gilbert PA.
More pictures of this vehicle are posted on the ECA Facebook page. / eastcoastarmory
I was assigned to one of these back in the mid 1960s when I was in the Army, 3rd Infantry division. I loved driving it. The one I drove had a 50mm machine gun mounted in top. I'd love to be able to drive one again,
So one would only imagine this thing covered with camo nets moving forward of a column with assorted weapons probably some painted in camouflage paint sceams looking for enemies in armored mechanized formations , The - M-114 was also amphibious like the M-113 APC armored personnel carrier , very kool 😎
Back in 1971 I took my Scout training on one of those M-114's it had a 20 mm cannon main gun on the cupola. I've never seen one throw a track and I always thought they were fun to drive because they were fast. It was also amphibians. It had water steer gear and you had to remember after coming out of the water to switch it back into road steer. A lot of new recruits would forget to do this and when they would try to round a curve the steering was so sensitive in that mode it would just start spinning in circles. lol
Thanks for the info
The M-114, the little Recon that shoulda, coulda, woulda but didn't.
April 23, 2018----Thanks for the video as this is the first running one of these I've ever seen. There was one of these stationed out front of the Alaskan Army national guard building not far from the Anchorage airport. This was when I was stationed at Elmendorf 77-79.
Nice video.I love this vehicle .I drove a M113 Lynx C-R as the troop commander's driver when I was a sapper in the army in Canada.I wish I could drive one again.Thanks.
Incredible. An M-114 that actually moves under it's own power and doesn't have to be towed by an M-113 or a VTR. LOL
Great Examples
Adorable more Combat Centric Box
Beautiful Vibe
Good Work
They were junk P.O.S. gutless 283 pushing 7 tons. Saw them broken more often than in a running condition. Laid out the rubber band track twice on the autobahn. Slow and cold in the winter. Would have been better used tuned into beer cans.
Track is sections bolted together, how fast were you going on the autobahn? Mine and all I have seen have the gas fired heater installed.
@@pasqualelombardi2777 Both times they were broken down and being towed by M113's, (Detroit diesel). Probably 40-45mph in convoy, laid the track right out on the highway.
Our maintenance section took the tracks off one and loaded it into a 5-ton truck bed, just fit. They were always broken down. We could never get replacement igniters for the heaters.
If you had an igniter, you never ever left it in the vehicle
1971-1972 3/8 Cavalry 1st Platoon C Troop Sandhofen W Germany , Charlie 13 track fitted with the 20mm Thanks for the post
1/2 ACR 1971-74 Germany 114 with 20mm.sone replaced with m551.another fail
1971 - 1974 ACR Pond barracks Amberg Germany traded 5 114's for 3 sheridan's
Meant to say 3/2 ACR
1972 - 1974, Recon Platoon, CSC 3/35 Armored Battalion, Bamberg. We had 9 M114 A1E1 ( 2 4 track sections plus one for the Lt, the platoon sgt had a M113) with the 20 mm. Spent a lot of time in them in the motor pool looking busy. We'd pull the one or two dead ones with us to Graf where we'd get enough priority to get them fixed.
Wow amazing I was there 70-72 3plt C troop
I like to have a chance to drive one of those one more time it's been 48 years since I drove one of those along the Iron Curtain. Long time ago.
I spent 2years at fort Knox moth balling m114s. Chevy small block v8 and a dual coupling hydramatic transmission. 76CS CO. HEM.
sounds like a cool job
Light and fast as all getout when they ran. They swam okay when the M2 50 cal was mounted (I swam them). With the 20 mm mounted they were lopsided to the right side and there was only one exact position for the barrel over the driver’s head that it wouldn’t sink them. Kind of scary.
I want to thank whomever posted this of my M114. Pat
Hello, sir. I'm looking for one of these, running or not, if you might have any knowledge of one for sale? Thank you for any help!
@@gadsdenconsulting7126 Where are you located? I am in New Jersey, USA?
@@pasqualelombardi2777 I'm in NY. Gadsdenconsulting@gmail.com if you don't mind emailing me? And thank you so much for getting back to me!
@@pasqualelombardi2777 hope you see my email address. Would really like to get more info!
@@gadsdenconsulting7126 Hello, I am the owner of the M114 vehicle. Where are you located?
Had a M-113 in the 1970’s, in Germany. They were phasing out the M-114. Not to many kind words for it. Still an interesting vehicle.
From what I hear around when they were new they had less problems. By the time of the 70's they were showing their age and maintenance were not up to the standards, and there was a lack of new replacement parts. Lots of guys would tell me stories how they would cannibalize 2 or 3 vehicles to keep one barley running
Yes, I’m the 1970’s they were being phased out, saw one that had burned down in Graf. Not sure when it happened but just tracks, engine and debris. Looks like a hot to drive around, with out any real need to have one. Didn’t they only have gas engines? My M-113 was a maintenance beast but I would take it over a 114 anyway.
We had one of these in B 1/11 Infantry (4ID, Mech) in 1973 at Ft Carson. Couldn't keep it running. When we finally got it stable, we parked it and it never left the motor pool. Cool little vehicle but under-powered (as mentioned below). Our Mii3A1s were much, much better.
Yeah from the vets I spoke with towards the 70's these things were become hard to keep running. I guess the engines were all worn and the entire fleet needed to have a rebuild
What specifically kept you from keeping them running?
@@pasqualelombardi2777 - The biggest issue was their engines. Too small (if I remember, just a 289) and overworked. Constantly failing due to the strain. We resorted to running to the local, civilian auto-parts store for replacement parts.
I drove the 114 Scout Platoon 1/10th INF 4th ID FT.Carson, Co 1972..We had trouble getting parts for them.
Had them in back in 1972 at FT Carson, would race them in the motor pool.
Never took them to the field..we used the m113 and the m125a1 motor track.m114 looks great on paper..
Thank you ..
Underrated
If I win the billion dollar lottery; forget about the fast car, and big mansion; a couple of tanks and other track vehicles and a large piece of land to play in will be ideal.
agreed, supercars are overrated
Wow, wow, WOW! Amazing, thank you, buddy))
Scout Platoon, C-trp 1/3 ACR 71, Ft Lewis Cpt Michael Dunnigan, Driver PFC Ybarra...better than humping. Flower Power Division 9th ID
i think the armed track vehicle has te right of way at all intersections :)
Wanted to add that few of the pictures I see represent the M114 as I knew it. The biggest difference is that so few have the “surf” board mounted on the nose. I have seen two good pictures of restorations, one with an M2 and one with a 20 mm. I avoided any track with the 20 mm mounted. What a pain.
This M114 has a early aluminum surf board. That is why I stenciled "no step" on the board in 2 places. Viewers tend to want to climb onto or off the M114 from the front.
I was in the 7th Inf. Regiment of the 3rd. Inf. Division in Germany in 1974 and we had several of these vehicles. They were powered by a Ford 289 cu. in. V8.
Co. E 708th Mt. Bn. Fwd. Sppt. Not Ford powered in 1963-1966 in Germany. They were all Chevrolet 283 cu.in.
The M - 114 was underpowered by the mid 1960's Chevrolet 283 cubic inch V8. It was rated at about 190 anemic horsepower. Pitiful.
I want one.
I'm looking for one of these running or not, if you happen to have a line on one?
lol if I had a line on one it would be sitting in my garage
@@oddball759mm Oh, I thought this one was yours.
@@gadsdenconsulting7126 nah I wish. I just filmed this at a show. However the owner of this vehicle wrote below in the comment section, try hitting him up
@@oddball759mm ok thanks!
Contact pasquale.nj@Gmail.com
Is this similar to an Abrams?
not even close. The M1 is a main battle tank, this is a recon vehicle.
@@oddball759mm it's better?
@@Kurio71 no, this was not meant to fight other tanks. If you ran into a tank with this you would be screwed.
i drove one in 68-9
I wasn't gone. It could go we'll with my Saracen.
Want one... Damned autocorrect.
glad we didn't have them in nam!!!
we did in '62... they didn't last long in country for a number of reasons and were pulled out in '64
