It’s a real shame but even my Jeep and Ferrets are a challenge

We can put the blame on Sid Swallow, he was the Ford Canada design engineer !

I have had a few challenging moments in the cab 11 C8 with the pedals. It is a trap for novice CMP drivers.

I watched some of Chieftain's talk about the Marmon-Herrington tanks 'The worst tank you ever heard of' The trial tank report he was reading pointed to engine problems which actually wasn't a inherent design issue , it was a case of bad maintenance.
