Harvs73 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I don't think I have ever seen one with a dozer blade on the front but the ARVL do have them on the rear for recovery work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickshaw Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Trying to find out if the Australian Army ever fitted a dozer blade to their M113. Have tried browsing the web with no luck, so any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks for looking No, the Australian Army never fitted a dozer blade to their M113s. Mike Cecil's "Mud and Dust" which is the best source on Australian vehicles in Vietnam has no pictures of one and in my 10 years experience in the Army I never saw one. I've never seen a picture of one on an Australian M113 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADMUSKY Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Try Firestorm from Australia, type in M113, they have the dozer conversion, good service and speedy delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
