The M113 armored personnel carrier remains one of the most reliable pieces of military equipment, having been in service for over sixty years. This tracked transport vehicle provides protection for personnel during combat operations, weapons transportation, and casualty evacuation. High mobility, simple design, and maintainability have made the M113 indispensable in challenging field conditions.
Operating the armored personnel carrier requires regular maintenance and timely replacement of worn components. Our range covers all major spare parts groups for the M113, enabling military units to quickly restore equipment combat readiness. We offer original parts and certified analogs that meet military quality standards.
Design advantages of the M113 armored personnel carrier
The M113 armored personnel carrier was designed with maximum reliability and ease of maintenance in field conditions in mind. The aluminum armored hull provides an optimal balance of protection and weight, positively affecting maneuverability and fuel consumption. The modular design allows for quick replacement of damaged elements without the need for complete vehicle disassembly.
The tracked running system ensures high cross-country capability on rough terrain. The independent suspension of each road wheel absorbs shocks and vibrations, reducing stress on the crew. The diesel engine cooling system is designed to operate in a wide temperature range, making the M113 a versatile vehicle for various climate zones.
Main spare parts groups for the M113 armored personnel carrier
Power unit components
The diesel engine is the heart of the vehicle, on which its mobility and combat readiness depend. Quality engine spare parts ensure stable operation in extreme conditions. Our range includes the following components:
- Piston-liner sets for major overhaul of the power unit.
- Crankshafts and camshafts with bearings for replacement after critical wear.
- Cylinder heads with valve mechanisms for restoring tightness.
- Turbochargers and supercharging systems to maintain rated power.
- Standard and repair bearing shells.
- Gaskets — complete sets and individual items — cylinder head, exhaust manifold, and others.
- Etc.
Running gear
Reliable running gear ensures the armored personnel carrier's cross-country capability and maneuverability in any conditions. Timely replacement of worn components prevents serious breakdowns and expensive repairs. Our catalog includes:
- Shock absorbers.
- Control arms.
- Bearings.
- Oil seals.
Cooling system components
Effective engine cooling is critical for maintaining equipment combat readiness, especially during intensive operation. The cooling system includes:
- Air filters.
- Fan belts (old and new models).
- Water pumps.
- Fan pulleys.
- Fan clutch (new and old models).
- Radiators.
- Hoses.
- Thermostats and components.
Optics
Observation devices are critically important for crew safety and effective completion of combat missions. Optics damage during combat requires quick replacement to maintain the vehicle's combat effectiveness. We offer:
- M17 periscope.
- M27 periscope.
- M45 periscope.
Transmission and gearbox components
Transmission components for the M113 are responsible for transmitting torque from the engine to the tracks. The quality of transmission parts directly affects vehicle controllability and fuel consumption, so it's important to use proven spare parts from reliable suppliers.
The complex gearbox mechanisms contain a set of gears, synchronizers, and shafts that operate under significant load. Main parts include:
- Driveshafts, universal joints, and mounting hardware.
- Complete gasket sets.
- Hydraulic filters.
- Oil pump.
- Final drives and their individual components.
- Gears of various stages with heat-treated surfaces for long-term operation.
- Synchronizers and shift clutches for smooth shaft engagement.
- Rolling and plain bearings to reduce friction in mechanisms.
- Oil seals and gaskets for sealing oil cavities.
- Primary and secondary shafts with splined connections.
- Differentials and final drives for vehicle steering control.
Other
Additional components and consumables necessary for maintenance and ensuring the armored personnel carrier's operability:
- Alternator belt.
- Ramp pump.
Common causes of M113 component failure
It should be noted that one of the most common causes of M113 component failure is untimely replacement of consumables, namely belts (fan, alternator), air filters, automatic transmission hydraulic filters, fine and coarse fuel filters, etc. These spare parts are almost always in stock at fair prices and available for shipment in the shortest possible time.
Intensive operation of the armored personnel carrier in combat conditions leads to accelerated wear of units and systems. Off-road movement creates extreme loads on the running gear, where road wheels and track links are subjected to constant impacts. Dust, dirt, and moisture penetrate seals, causing corrosion and bearing damage.
Mine explosions cause critical damage to transmission elements, running gear, and the hull. The shock wave deforms the hull bottom, destroys unit mountings, and can disable driveshafts and differentials. Combat fire damages observation devices — periscopes lose their seal or break, and front and rear lights fail from shrapnel and bullets.
Original spare parts and certified analogs
Repair of the M113 armored personnel carrier requires the use of parts that meet technical and design standards. Original spare parts are manufactured by enterprises that have licenses and comply with approved technological processes. Such components are guaranteed compatible with existing units.
Certified analogs undergo strict quality control and testing for compliance with the technical characteristics of originals. Each batch of spare parts is accompanied by documentation confirming origin and compliance with standards.
