4x4Founder Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Working on a story on the Guiberson diesel engine for Diesel World magazine and while it's not primarily about the M-3 application of that engine, I wanted to include an image of the tank. I am looking for an image of a Guiberson-powered M-3 or M-3A1, either a period image or a current one. Might be grasping at straws here, but I do recall that five or so were recovered from Brazil by a British dealer a few years back but I can't find any info on their current whereabouts or condition. Any clues welcome. Images need to be larger than this normally posted on the web due to this being in a print publication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REME 245 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Are they Cartridge starting? That was Bovingtons excuse at the time for not running theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Softy42 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Yes, but Queensland tank has 24V inertia starter fitted for ease of starting ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
