I kinda wish I had kept this truck,probably the last M39 series truck to be sold at FT Jackson.

UPDATE!! I recieved word from Bjorn(cranetruck) that the M52A2 was picked up by it's new owner Friday!! Here's a few pictures.

I don't know for sure Jeff,I know he mentioned 53s in our conversations over the phone,plus some kind of equipment carrier for the rear maybe. I'm not really sure it was gonna stay a tractor,dunno.

Well folks,I know this is an older thread,but it is the end of the story for me as far as this M52A2 is concerned. I left this morning at 0715 hrs headed to Meadows Of Dan VA to deliver the truck to Cranetruck's place where it will be picked up in the near future by it's new owner,SS member...

Well Adam,you have some SERIOUS competition with the 52A2 after today. I FINALLY remembered to take the GPS unit along on a test drive of the M52A2, with the driveline and tires warmed up and everything checked,I decided to push it to the limit and see what it would do........ I WAS VERY...

I'll remember that when I blow past your 818 after I get the swap done.:mrgreen::driver:

Well,I got home today and I was curious to see how the M172A1 trailer looked behind the M52,plus I needed to move the trailer anyway,while I was at it,I snapped a few pics.

Well,it is simpler to remove the axle shafts and given the rear wheel bearings have outer grease seals,dunno why they would get road grit in the grease/bearings there. It does not show in the pics(I had already removed em),but i have a set of blank front outer hubs(no splines) that were in...

Well, it was a smooth and Murphy free recovery from Jackson,arrived at the DRMO lot about 0900 after some directions from Ferro[thumbzup]. After a short check in and paperwork, I got to the truck about 0915 and started work,after hooking up the towbar and airing up all 10 tires(glad I bought my...

Well,the M54A1 is prepped and awating the "GO" signal,leaving here tomorrow at about 1430 hrs. The tenative schedule is to make the trip to the CAMO compound to pick up the second M52 on March 16 and 17th.

Well folks,I will be leaving Sunday afternoon to go to Ft Jackson and pick up my M52A2 I won from GL last month,I hope to be there about 8 to 8:30 am on Monday,i am driving the M54A1 down to flat tow the A2 home. I will hopefully remember the camera this time and will post pics and video...
