Reference post 69: fuel lines. This is not my first rodeo with M123s either. I served in a unit that had 22ea of them and then owned my own for 10 years after they were sold off. None of them had a fuel distribution system anything like what you describe in your post. The fuel equalizes between...

Reference post 67: tanks are not the same as the fuel fill is in the front on both sides. Also, as built, a M 123 feeds on the left tank which is where the fuel filters are, and returns into the right tank. Unlike its' 5 ton brethren, the 10 ton has a crossover line to allow the contents of...

Found m ore M 123 pics showing a single winch truck configured for engineer use: single winch and a shoe on the rear of the chassis over the pintle hook which was put there to facilitate deploying the M870 40 ton trailer. M916's used a roller to guide the cable.

Additional pic of spare tire.
