>>>That would have been a site to see.<<<
LOL I could handle the sight - it was the way it shook the whole ground AND my big vehicle that really got my attention!
I could not imagine what it would be like to drive one of those.
Those tankers are a special breed - I gotta respect guys that can put those heavy tracks back on in the field with only minimal equipment or pull and replace a huge engine out in the boondocks. Takes a real can-do attitude. (Maybe they are like the bumblebee and because they don’t know that you can’t do it, they just do it anyway)

Yes and I think they have always existed, it is that some are not so spectacular as your tank repairmen,that would be worth watching.
My first son in law, a young Marine, with a Texas oil field background, was sent to viet Nam, his job was to patch the copters and keep them flying, including the ones spraying Agent Orange.
His reward was brain cancer, that at 25 years old, left him about 9 years old, until he died 15 years later.
Sheer waste of a special person.
