Probably seen this one before, but it's just as dramatic looking as the other T-34 thread, so here are the pics for you guys.

Is that an Aber PE box on the fender?
Seen it before still great looking.
One heck of a dozer to pull it like that also.
Noticed no grab handles must off fallen off.

Actually, it seems to me that it never had any. Probably dropped to make for speedier production.

Conclusion: If there is a bog/lake near you, go dig it up, T-34s like bogs/lakes.

We've got plenty here, in Florida. So you're suggesting I start digging?

Looks like you are right.
I wonder how the 30 troops riding on the side would hold on.
Never mind

Fascinating, especially the darker shade of green that this one is sporting and the mixed rubber/steel wheel arrangements.

Hi guys
A T-34-76, That thing looks like you could take a fire hose to it. Wash off all the mud. Stick in a new set of plugs and she would fire right up. When one thinks about all the nations of the world that the bigger sister of this tank {T-34-85 } were sent to. All the different battle fields all over the world. Folks will be digging up T-34s for the next ninty years. From Asia to South America, everywher behind the iron curtain. Not to mention second and third hand buyers. Heck you just might find one in one of those bogs down in Florida, who knows.

Early vehicles didn't have them.

You never know...
You find all sorts in bogs/marshes, when i was little, (not that long ago) me and my friend found a trolley in a bog, a trolley!
With a little research (
) it was found out that our trolley, codenamed betsy was from 1st Division ASDA, and served with them for many years.She was hit by a no doubt bored teenager and took damage that went on to cripple her on the right&left front wheels (not like that'd affect the performance of a shopping trolley) and was scrapped by her crew, who then went on to join the 2nd armoured of B&Q, serving in a Mk.4 Flatbed armoured Trolley.

It's not exactly early considering it's a mod. 43. More of a mid actually. There are plenty of [ictures showing Mod. 42s and 43s with grabhandles, so this one sticks out as being a little different.

Nice Pictures,Different to the other T-34 as that one appears to have been "germanised". I just love the story about the shopping trolley,makes me wonder if that sort of thing happens stateside or if we Brits have the monopoly on drowning trolleys !!!,perhaps someone across the pond could enlighten us .

I never drowned one, but I did get one up to 45mph late one night
It looked really cool when I slammed on the brakes and it disappeared into the fog.
looked like it was accelerating away from me.
