M151A2 furnace filters

Eric, I should hope that one looked familiar. And, as always Rob's library and generosity knows no bounds.

I suspect that the 09744 truck shown was the LETE truck. Note the mirrors were mounted to the fenders, however with only one arm. The eventual modification used two arms. I found those rattled so bad you couldn't use the mirrors, so I would add a third arm. Any farmer will tell you you always need three points of contact for stability. Personally, I always liked the mirrors by the windshield.

I can confirm that M151A2 09744 was a LETE vehicle, it was disposed of in May 1989. It may be this vehicle which I photographed on display in the Carp Diefenbunker Museum in October 2015.

Hmmm? Time to ask the Curator about the collection of vehicles at the Bunker. About 5 yrs ago, I inspected a very clean M151 in the entrance of the long tunnel. I was told by Jason Ginn it has an indifferent record and is likely ex-US. I didn't take any pictures.

All I need is the sn from the data plate to confirm.

Hello

The M151A2 at the Diefenbunker is CFR 74-09723, SN 45109 , It was sold out of Montreal.

Thanks for the info Rob. Any chance of getting the missing pages for the second grill style? CF 19 Please

Ed is that CFR 74-09186, SN 43736 sold out of Chilliwack with the licence plate bracket on the windshield, converted from Electronics vehicle for VIP?

I have been following up from Clive's original CFR list with photos. Still working on M151 in Canadian Service book for Service Publications.

There was 1 Line M151A2 at Valcartier, no photos of it found yet.

Thanks
Eric

Thanks Eric, the M151A2 with the plate (actually a very nice brass plaque) attached to the windscreen was the vehicle for the CO of 5 RGC in Valcartier.

Cough and gulp! I think 723 was a Sher H vehicle. The other was 725 as I recall. If you have the record, look to see if it was previously at UIC 5007.
