So you think this is too good to be true ? It is true-all you havetodo is spend a little time maintaining this all-terrain buggy and you'll get the full advantage of its mobility, protection and punch. First off, you're going to find some things are a little different with this track package. Like, when you come to some " .Hcr you don't worry about how deep it is or jf there's a bridge handy.

So you ' re a rootin' , tootin' , shootin ' , scootin', scout! Well, bully for you! Now let's make you acquainted with the best friend a scout ever had M11 4 or M1l4AL Armored Command and Reconnaissance Carrier. This SCOut-scooter can take a three- nu n-crew places that a scout jeep could never c1jmb or swim, and it gives that valuabl e hid e of yours proteccion from small arms fire. So you think this is too good to be true ? It is true-all you havetodo is spend a little time maintaining this all-terrain buggy and you ' ll get the full advantage of its mobility, protection and punch. First off, you're going to find some things are a little different with this track package. Like, when you come to some " .Iter you don't worry about how deep it is or if there's a bridge handy .

The Ml14 and the M 114A L are alike except for the commander's station. On the M114Al a .50-cal M2HB turret-type machine gun can be elevated, traversed , and fired with the commander's station hatch cover either open or closed. On the Ml14 the M2HB flex.type machine gun is pintle-mounted and can only be fired with the hatch open.

M116 Cargo Carrier If you have an Ml16 Cargo Carrier, a lot of the

dope on the M11 4 series will apply because they both have the same engine, transmission, geared steer, and idler wheel hubs. But there's also a lot of difference between the Ml16 and the Ml14. So, before interchanging a part check both vehicle TM's.

The M1l4 and the Ml14AI are alike except for the commander's station. On the M1l4Al a .SO-cal M2HB turret-type machine gun can be elevated, traversed, and fired with the commander's station hatch cover either open or closed. On the M1l4 the M2HB flex-type machine gun is pintle-mounted and can only be fired with the hatch open.

Ml16 Cargo Carrier If you have an M1l6 Cargo Carrier, a lot of the dope on the Ml14 series will apply because they both have the same cngine, transmission, geared steer, and idler wheel hubs. But there's also a lot of difference between the M116 and the M114. So, before interchanging a part check both vehicle TM's.
