While looking for pics of the Abrams Deep Water Fording Kit, I've came across this Manual (serendipity at its best ). Tons of details pics of several wheeled and tracked vehicles like the M1A1 AIM SA, M88A2, M113, ASLAV type 3 (Fitters variant), 4x4 and 6x6 Landies....and the Bushmaster

Enjoy !

Who would have thought that cleaning manuals would be such a rich resource.
Thanks for sharing this find.

It must rate as one of the finds of the year.

It is a pity to see that the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service regard even minor weathering as “High Level Contamination”

cheers and many thanks

Just had a quick look. Funniest thing I have ever seen.

Check out Figure 13–13: M113’s Internal Under Refurbishment. Strange that the photo supplied looks like the inside of a gutted ASLAV25

Plus the radiator photos are of the old M113A1 not of the M113AS4.

Typical of the Aussie Army, can't get anything right.
