Anyone out there have any photos, or manauls on the M113 Dozer kit showing the dozer blade controls in the driver's compartment and hydraulic lines inside the vehicle?

Hi Paul,
Last summer i took around 125 pictures in and out of a M113 DOZER during a demonstration day of an engineer unit in Quebec city. I will go thru them to see if i have what you want.

Paul, I'm at work right now where I've got access to online parts manuals... I can print the ones you need out (doing the Fitter ones for myself) but must take them home, scan them and send them to you. You know how finicky "they" are about the DIN, I'll just do it manually at home. The email will come tonight, about 2300 Ontario time.
Cheers!
Mike

S'alright, I owe you.
I printed out stuff like uparmour kits and external stowage as well, just cool stuff that you might consider.
It may be easier to mail this stuff to you! I'll scan it in tonight and send you a whole bunch of emails, because there are 18 pages!
Watch for it tonight- coming soon, to an inbox near you... OOOOOOooooooh
Okay, I'm done.

Those are great pictures, Luc. I've got the individual system line drawings if you want them. Pivot steer, tiller bars, etc.

Hi Mike ,
I have reduced the size of the pictures for space conformity, but they are much bigger than that!! So you can see much more detail. I also have other photo of the interior but i'm not sure if the line routing are part of it as i have no idea how to identify them !!
I'm sure interested in your drawing. Tell me how to proceed.

I'll edit them with a pen to clarify, maybe even side-by-side pictures to show you what everything is. Just for accuracy's sake, anyway, because once the lid's on no one can see the front hull!
I'll email them to you tonight. Are you on dialup or high speed internet, and do you have a zip program? 4-5 sheets run about 1.5 Mb in a zip file.
Cheers,
Mike

I stopped in at 2CER on Monday and managed to get a bunch of internal photos. Its a good thing bcause teh M113 A2 dozers are being sold off. No ore will be upgraded to MTVE standards. they had a couple of M577A2s and other items including their first MTVE. Will have to talk to HKCW about another track set.
