M113 track

[Bob Phillips]

Thanks all for comments- Thanks also Ed, I DO have your M113 book and its very informative. Do you know ...is there a TM specifically dealing with the track, track repair etc or does this come in the general service TM?
According to a military publication I read a few eeeks ago the solid rubber track was running 36K per set when it first came out.. I also note that M113 shoes are still being manufactured in diverse place such as Korea and Israel.

The continuous rubber band track was/is made by SOUCY somewhere in Quebec. (I suppose they ran out of versions of rubber boots to sell to the Army and had to think more creatively.)

TLAV is the family name for the stretched 6 roadwheel family of M113s.
