RE: Tractors 5 ton plusssss
Hey no problem David (or anybody else), if you want to add bigger tractors to this thread be my guest, I don't know that much about military tractors, but would love to.
Thanks Jed, i can't seem to find the TM I got the numbers (TM 43-0001-31 TACOM) but I can't find it to download it. Jed the list there proves M1075 (I think, or was it Doyle, I don't remember) that there was the M933 truck, tractor wrecker. I'd like the one with the drawings in it.
Does anyone have a TH that list all the wheeled vehicles and trailers? I thought I had it but must've deleted it. I'm taking it that nobody has tried to convert a 5ton cargo to a tractor. Hey Kenny, since you have a deuce tractor, do the 6 ton single axle flatbed trailers go with the deuce...
Theyre still cool trucks. Has anybody ever done a 5 ton conversion? If so, does anybody have pics? Ive seen pics of deuce conversions but havent really heard anything about 5 tons.
Yea the M920 thats what I meant thanks M1075 for pointing that one out, but if it's not a 5 ton what is it...
now thats a M52, correct? To be honest I personally like the origanal, but I'm a little bit of a purist not much but a little. Does anyboby have a list of all the 5 ton tractors ever fielded by the Army? Thanks for the help guys.
