They probably had to put some kind of weight in the engine compartment to keep the rear end down or it sits funny. I am not sure what we did in Gagetown or Petawawa when we had the Leo's placed as monuments if they placed them on stands as they were put in place by cranes.

I remember grinding down the 3 colour paint scheme in 1990 when I was a C1 driver. We were getting the mine roller mod work done at that time by Kraus Maufi at out tank hangers in Lahr. I asked about the paint and the metal composition as we wore respirators grinding the paint down for the welders. The German worker would not even acknowledge my question but he understood it.
