Would parts be hard to find? Are parts interchangeable with the US m35?
Thanks for the replies.
some yes, some no...
from Wiki:
Canadian Forces Land Force Command adopted license built versions of the M35 (and M36 variant) in 1982, built in Canada by Bombardier. As of 2008, the trucks, designated MLVW (Medium Logistics Vehicle, Wheeled) were still in service.
Canadian vehicles featured an automatic transmission, six wheels instead of ten (but still with dual rear axles), and an ether-start for winter operations.
vs.
The M35A2 are Continental or Hercules LDT-465, in-line 6 cylinder, turbocharged multifuel engines with 134 bhp (100 kW) and 330 lb·ft (447 N·m) of torque. This is coupled with a
5-speed manual transmission and divorced 2-speed transfer case (Either a sprague-operated transfer case (Rockwell 136-21) or air-operated selectable transfer case (Rockwell 136-27).
different Transmissions, and engines. different wheels so different axles.
Until a SME can get on here and give you the rock solid answers for parts and the like, You should just read the article on wikipedia. it covers alot of the questions on systems and differences with the two trucks....
for parts, i think what alot of people do for surplus vehicles is buy a few trucks and use parts off them until you have one that works.....
but Im getting a little too far out of my lanes on this one now.
