I have driven 1000's of miles with only one prop shaft in place. I have found that for windy mountainous country, I drive with the front prop shaft in and none to the rear. The Scout Car drives like a Minny Minor as the front pulls the weight around the corners better than the rear pushing. Ten minutes on the side of the road is all it takes to change over.

A high mileage front-wheel drive Scout Car. Would they have ever imagined in 1942?

Default M3A1 in Canadian Service

Hope that someone here on the forum can help.

I found this previous post/thread (http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=6402) where Jordan Baker was looking for info/details for M3A1 Scout Cars used by Canadians during WW2. Forum member oztankboy (Phil) had replied to Jordan's request by posting a diagram that showed an internal layout but also commented that it came from a Canadian wartime pam (pamphlet?). Jordan asked if a higher resolution version of the diagram was available and recently told me that he never received a follow-up response. I've private messaged oztankboy (Phil) but also no response.

I've googled this diagram and the only result I seem to get is one on a model building forum but again with a low resolution image.

If anyone here on MLU can help with finding a higher resolution version of this diagram, I would be very appreciative.

Cheers, Terry.

That pamphlet often appears on ebay as a reprint for low money.

Failing that I do have it somewhere... I will look for it at the weekend.

Found it faster than I expected.

This is the manual the page is from...

WSC-Manual-1.jpg

There are approx. 40 pages and several WS installation variation diagrams.

Hope this is a better version of the one you asked about.

WSC-Manual-2.jpg

Though, recommend you get the manual.
