30 Dec 2014[edit]

I think the picture is of an NM-3. If you look closely, between the front tire and bumper, that looks like a pintle hitch to me.

I put Vanderveen in a common blank form. There is a blank "page=", you can put your page numbers there. If there is more than one, change to "pages". I used ISBN 13 because that's what I had, you may want to ISBN 10, that seems more common?

"See also" is often right above "References". The lead paragraph is pretty long, maybe first and last paragraphs, add one or two sentences? The rest in a section "Models" or something? Then you can make a footnote for Vanderveen.

I used blank convert forms in the infobox. You put your original number in, then the thing automatically converts it. There are different units, often they convert to a default if you have not put a different unit in. If you know the units, you can convert almost anything, like metric to US. You can't convert "tons" though, it has to be "short tons", which nobody in the US knows, they are just "tons". This only matters in the description, "6 ton", all the other weights are in pounds.

Inches to feet[edit]

I have been told that feet are easier than inches for many people. Sammy D III (talk) 19:13, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
