M113A1: replacement track civvy equivilant?

[rchalmers3]

Is there a company like Catepillar or another equipment supplier that makes complete tracks or sections that fit the M113?

I am seeking resources and appreciate any assistance.

Thank you,

Rick

If you just need a few sets, your best bet is to call SECO.

Also try Goggling "NAPCO INTERNATIONAL" in Hoskins,Minn
as they are parts suppliers of the M-113 Family and hold the
proper credentials to legally export. popacom /BILL in Ky.

Thanks Popacom, I have saved their home page and will call them when the earth rotates another 180 degrees.

Thanks gentlemen,

I am getting service from SECO and expect to have some information on track prices very shortly.

NAPCO took my initial phone call but has not replied to the email they requested I send them. I realize I'm a small fish to them and will not take it personal, especially since SECO is working with me!

I am unable to locate the TM for repair parts on Liberated Manuals, and LOGSA says I gotta provide my military grade, which I don't have since I am simply a taxpayer!

Question: Can anyone steer me towards a .pdf formatted manual online so that I can obtain NSN's for the tracks and road wheels?

Thanks,

Roy and Byron are good people.

I should have the manuals at home, let me see what I can find.

What's the matter with you guys?

How come no:

You guys are lagging!

I am also researching track parts for a M548 which I believe is the same chasis as the M113 . I also have a call into SECO . I hope to hear from them on Monday .

 

[rchalmers3]

I believe the manual with NSN numbers is TM 9-2300-257-20P

I have .pdf manuals for the M113A2 & M113A3 if those help. As far as track and suspension, I don't think much changed between models. The biggest changes were in the powerpack and controls, but some of the M577 stuff should still be the same. If you want me to e-mail what I have, contact me at james.bilnoski@yahoo.com - the files are too big for this site.

I believe Sam Weiner also has a large amount of track sections for a M113.
