Title: Very Rough M15
Post by: WayOffTrack on March 11, 2016, 02:27:10 PM
This halftrack was recently picked and will probably be on the market soon. The crane is gone now. It has a badly cracked frame and has an M15 serial number. I don't think there is a usable piece of armor on it. The frame has also been boxed. Motor looks good it would probably run unless the valves are stuck. Just an FYI for anyone that might see it and consider buying it. I looked at it closely after the crane was cut off and the crack in the frame had opened up.

 That poor thing might not even make it into the "parts vehicle" category!

If you have the frame a person can buy everything else and have UPS bring it to you....

 I've parted out better looking half-tracks! With the frame broken and plated it would take way too much work to make a decent track,it's not like they aren't available at all.

 Heck both of those are much better then the crane,at least they both have the rear bed! Over here it's almost impossible to find one with a rear bed, all the rest is easy,it's just flat plate, that bed is the tough part!

I was under the impression halftracks were easier to find in Europe than the USA. I do enjoy looking for the rough ones but then again I enjoy looking for all of them. It gets in your blood doesn't it?

15 years ago, have found rolling halftrack, even a wreck now it is not easy to find the correct price.

There is almost no halftrack hidden in the wood or a garage or target Range :-\

usa are larger to hide the wrecks   :P
