is'nt there a pdf manual on the CD?

I'm really not too worried about size, I'm 5'11" and my old man is about 5'11-1/2". I figure that if I can sqeeze myself around the rear compartment of a Link Belt LS-98 then I can handle a T72. Again I'm not 100% sure on it being used very often. (though we do have 17 arcres to roam in) This is'nt gonna be some quickie project, I'm thinking sometime in late '06 that you guys will see the results.

thank you for the offer, however nothing came in through my hotmail account as of now steve. On a side note my uncle owns 3 sherman chassis's that were built post war and used for logging and other commericial uses. So anyways 2 have been converted to fuel tankers for heavy equipment by adding a 500L diesel tank to it and sticking a truck body on top to sit in (theres no turrent; actually it just looks like a crawler undercarriage) Also the powerplant was changed to a 671 detroit diesel :cool:

well we're more or less going for the looks over functionlity, plus we dont really want to move the thing around with an oversized float. This is all perliminarily research mind you, I just want to know if these things are mechanically sound and have a good look at the operators manual. Just looking over the general specs, shes actually lighter than i thought she would be. Our "duty crane" weighs in at near 60t. However the 60kph road speed is far more impressive than the crane's 2-4 kph :cool:

Hello, I've been lurking here for quite a while and figure you'd be the guys to talk to about such things. Oh and if there's a better forum for such things could you point me in the right direction? Anyways my old man is interested in buying a used T72 through tanks for sale which is cool and all. (Basically for a lawn decoration, and some occasional field beating we have a fairly large lot) Now my duty is to research the hell outta the product What I'm after is a english operator's manual which describes basic service, fluids used, and general mechanical workings of the tank itself. My father owns and operators a heavy equipment company so we already have a grasp of what we're are dealing with here. We'd would really just like to see the complexity of the tank and what kind of maintenance is required to keep her in working order. Feel free to contact me via email. Thanks for your time and consideration,
