Hmmm? Do you have a sense when these ARVs were surplussed? The typical platform for a Madill Spar Yarder logging tower is an M32. I was wondering where these would have come from in large enough numbers to be a predictable source of supply.

I have few exact construction details. The literature for a Madill 171 lists the base vehicle as an M4A3, another clearly indicates M32 for a Madill 071. Another user, Finning which made pneumatic rock drills uses the base vehicle in the model designator, ie. Finning M32F Hammer Drill.

Robin,
I took some pieces to a sandblaster, just outside of Deseronto, and came across your ARV. Looks as if it should be off to Kingston shortly. Peter 2016-04-29 10.11.49.jpg 2016-04-29 10.12.04.jpg 2016-04-29 10.13.33.jpg |

Much better colour.
Is it me or is the call-sign stenciling a little too modern and out of place? |

well at least they did not have it go with WW2 markings for Holland , and as far as I know we never used the M-74, they were constructed between 1950-55, it does look much better,

As I stated before, the markings will be changed once it gets on the pad, the painter is obligated by contract to do those markings.

Lots of the earliest steel spar yarders were mounted on M-6 HS tractors, converted to varying degrees. Some still retained the original cab. The first tank drill was simply an M4 HS tractor with a compressor on the back and a drill attached to the front. Still had the Waukesha gas engine, even. Later versions were highly modified, with air control for steering, diesel power, etc. Also 10 speed transmissions added. |

Here are some drills, WW2 equipment still earning its keep. The Tank Drill was first built by G.M. Philpott, later bought by Finning. Several companies built copies. Chapman built a "Drilmobile" based on the M5 HS tractor, Traxxon made one out of all kinds of components.
