I was not in the Army when you were or as long as you were, but, I did a whole lot of engine repair. Many valve jobs, few rings jobs, rebuilt tons of carburetors etc and brake jobs. Granted, when it came to transmissions , transfer cases and final drive in trucks, and clutches , we just replaced them with renewed or new units. I got a whole lot of good experience working on trucks that helped me get a job . A good share of the guys were not interested in tearing into something, but I was so I was assigned more of those jobs.
Our Battalion was building a road so it had heavy equipment to maintain, rock crushers and all. That was done in the other shop. We had one guy, (sparky) who welded onto the tracks from morning to night on the D8 Cats. No civilians within 1000 miles to do the repairs.
My MOS was Engine rebuild, but, that job was done in the US at Depot by civilians, so I was down graded so to speak to 2nd and 3rd echelon repairs. lst echelon was done by the drivers under our supervision. (fun to give company clerk a hard time and make him clean the batteries).
