m806 arvl info needed

[Tyson Eich]

Is there any information about fluid capasity of the hydraulics and pump info or the plumbing in general

[Ed Storey]

The ARVL is somewhat of a rare bird although as Rob as stated there is information available on this vehicle type. My count tells me that there were 37 in the CF and originally the ARVL was based on the M113A1 although beginning in the late-1980s these were upgraded to M113A2 with two different ECCs for this vehicle type. My records tell me that they were all disposed of in the 2000s with the last one in 2012. Which one do you have access to?

Here are a few images from my collection.

We have one at the museum in calgary here and we were looking for information about it because it's kinda rare no one really knows anything about it

They fall under the C-30-672 series of CFTOs in case anybody wants to look them up. For the M113A1 they will be uinder the C30-572 series of pubs. I believe I have an old index of CFTOs, which should list all the relevant publications under those series. The two parts manuals we have at our museum cover the winch and hydraulics, the rear door with the much larger tow hitch, and the small crane on top. Otherwise, it's pretty much just another M113.

Hydraulic tank is 30 gallons. Originally the pump was belt driven...there was a mod for a much larger direct drive hydraulic pump which will extend through the lower engine cover. This is detailed in an installation instruction I have here, and is also likely reflected in the parts manual. It would appear the earlier setup had the ramp also running off the winch hydraulics. This installation returned the ramp to a separate installation.
