Was that the same chassis used with a 105mm gun?
Easy-peasy track change when things are nice and dry, no mud, no ice. As long as someone can find the wrenches and the jack!
Think it's fine here...Wow!!! Recommend to hit YouTube and watch full in HD. Thx.
I guess it all has to do on what you were watching on YouTube first...but this is what came up next for me (not related at all)...
Hmmm interesting to see what other members got...

One odd little and unimpressive 'looking' gun was the Japanese Type 94 75mm Mountain (Pack) Gun. But with a range of 8300m its characteristics and capability were very impressive!
"General description. This is the standard Japanese pack artillery piece which replaced the model 41 mountain gun. Designed for rapid assembly and dismantling, it breaks down into 11 units, the heaviest of which weighs 210 pounds. The weapon was normally transported by 6 pack horses or 18 men. The gun could be reassembled within ten minutes and disassembled in from 3 to 5 minutes. It is characterized by a comparatively long split-trail, hydro-pneumatic"

I recall years ago there was one displayed sitting on a pad in CFB Borden not far from the Alliston Gate. It has disappeared. Even when assembled those big (ancient looking) spoked wheels made it easier to manhandle over rough ground and bring into a firing position quickly

The soldier says: ' It looks like someone threw a frag in here, It's all rubble' & ' It's still warm.' Nearly thirty years later I wonder if this guy is still with us? I know of one Cdn.soldier who was in Bosnia, long dead of cancer. I do not know further details on his case. Another whose wife I once worked with was screwed up with non existent Gulf War Syndrome. He was sent over there (Gulf War theatre) in some capacity with the CF. I don't recall what his job was.
That the Americans would use such a lethal weapon so blithely with no regard for friendly fire casualties or casualties to civilians in the vicinity highlights their policy of hypocricy on such weapons. The shameful treatment of CF members by their own. What more can be said?
The uploader did a job on his title for sure.
