I think I know this particular M3 from my german hometown Goeppingen where the 1st US Infantry Division (forward) was stationed until 1992. It stood near the tank compound of the cooke barracks as a kind of a monument. I had plenty of friends among the 'army brats' and was even a guest member of the boy scouts (troop 202 transatlantic council). Thats why I have had frequently the possibility to visit the installation...

I used to go to school in a Diamond T bus and the driver (owner) told me that it "never" broke down. He also had a Diamond T truck for work in-between school run hours. Love to think that, after all this time, there are other things that the Diamond T engine & running gear was used for.

Thanks Chuck, I have an M35A2 that I have been restoring for several years, and I know the satisfaction of bringing back a piece of military history a step at a time. I use my truck primarily for parades, veterans events, and military vehicle shows.

Is it early M3 or later M3A1? AT 1.24 if you pause vid there appears to be a "spring" looking piece, on right of tracks. I'm guessing its suspension of some sort which I think is a later M3A1 additional upgrade to original M3 design. Makes sense that surviving halftracks have this design addition of course, just making a scale model M3 and the instructions are not that clear. so any help appreciated.

My dad was a tracked vehicle mechanic with the 4th Armored Division in WWII. He got shelled somewhere between Nancy and Metz France and was in a coma for over a year. He went on to be a class A serviceman for the Columbia Gas company. He passed on his 70th birthday in 1979. Cheers Terry

Can't imagine how heavy the clutch and steering are, but if you've driven 18-wheelers for any decent amount of time, I assume it wouldn't be much of a bother. Did he say how they get replacement treads?

Yes the roller in the front will meet the ground when the tires go down into a trench so it will not get stuck in a trench. I actually rode on one of these at a military swap meet. Very nice man and his wife owned a half track

at the time it wasn't more torque power, diesel engines had not developed to the level they are today. As for being flammable that was not a big problem.

@@64maxpower Anyone who has ever been offroad wishes they had one at one point, lol. You'll even see rollers or wheels on some modern modified off road vehicles.
I've always wondered about something. On half tracks, are the front wheels alone enough to steer the vehicle with the tracks maybe wanting to keep the vehicle going straight, or is there some sort of differential track braking tied into and actuated by the front wheel steering system ? If so, would a Hanomag have the same type of function ?

I've got a very good friend who has a buddy down in the south of England who brought one last year, although from what he's said I'm thinking its the International Harvester version. However, I'm hoping to be able to take some time off work and head down there this summer as he's invited me down to drive it.
