Hi Jim,

Don't know which one you are talking about as the Army (and Airforce, I
think) explored using several different Bombardier made vehicles several
times as a replacement for the M29C Weasel. From my recallection none
were ever accepted into service, and if true that means no M number.
However, I know of one of these vehicles that can be viewed in Vermont,
just outside of Berlington (Cholchester, right?). I am away from my
books at the moment, but it is the one with wheels/skis in front and
tracks in the back, fully enclosed. Very sweet vehicle :-)
I have a Bombardier Muskeg. Sucks in snow compared to a Weasel, but
armed with a 9000 lb winch and arch it makes a mean wood skidder :-)
Steve
