Stumbled onto this thread while also looking for info on Canadian M151A2's. Immediately recognized a picture of one I had looked at for sale in June of '03 that was in Grand-Bay Westfield, N.B. What stood out was the backyard plow rig setup on the front bumper and the same broken windshield. I had to dig out pic's from my days before digital to confirm. As I recall the guy had a bunch of manuals,parts, etc. and in the trees out back were the remains of another 151A2 cut in half. I declined at the time on purchasing as I was on the hunt for a '76 Chev 5/4. That didn't work out either. Anyhow, I thought you may like to know a bit more info on your rescued 151. (If this is a repeat of already known info, my apologies). As I looked at the CFR in your signature block I checked on it and it indeed came from Gagetown, but it wasn't a 4 ESR/22 Fd Sqn asset unfortunately. It came from 403 H.O.T. Sqn. with relatively few miles on it. Only 22,000+ miles and sold for $399. I would imagine that was the price for the scrap dealers per each unit of the day maybe? Looking at the data for other units it varies between $0 and $399; the majority being at the later price. May not be accurate though. DND records are not always 100% error free. Another of 403's M151A2's (with M100 trailer) is on display on the base's main drag. It now belongs to the museum. As for the lazy E's, CFR#'s 09800,09849,09850,09851,09852 and 09853 were the only one's listed you may find marked accordingly. There are quite a few missing from the data base if the 935 purchase figure is correct. Checking on my M-37 didn't bring up anything for me unfortunately. Again - great work. Your version is in much better shape than the one I saw that summer! Cheers.
