Yep
And that is why, as a 6’6, 140kg, size 13 boot wearing Veteran and restorer I have no CMPs (or Carriers) anymore...
It’s a real shame but even my Jeep and Ferrets are a challenge Cheers Phill

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.

F15s
Hi Mike,
You might recall I used to have a couple of little F15s on the farm. Doubt I ever could have driven them safely. I preferred my old faithful Chev C60Ls Cheers Phill
