Hi Doug,

I can't honestly say I was crew on M113 but I sure did spend a lot of time
repairing them in Field and Base Workshops around Australia.

I would give anything to locate a source of worn track pins from the M113
tracks. They make great chisels and punches when shaped and hardened. And
to think that we used to throw them out when replacing tracks
