I got this from timberwolf's Ebay ad for his 5 ton. Hope he doesn't mind. The big one is an M813A1 5-ton, the smaller is an M35A2 Deuce.

M123A1C hooked to a M816,notice the extreme slope of the towbar,This makes the 816 have a "rubber band"driving effect until you get up to speed(if you ever do get there!)

Wow, great pics! Good luck with the restoration. If you run across a good source of 14R24 tires, let me know.

M1075,I'm still looking but it seems that no one makes that size for road use,off road can be found all day long.I'm sure someone has a set of 14:00X24 Non-directionals squrriled away somewhere(I need 11).

I have been trying to get an answer from the recapers if they can put that tread on my 16.00 R 20's
