Last September I was vacationing in Arkansas, and while their I toured the National Guard Museum at Camp Robinson, just north of Little Rock. They had an interesting display of military weapons and other artifacts. You can see my photo set here. BTW, among the vehicles and guns on display (including a Sgt York SPAAG) was this vehicle that did not have a sign identifying it.  Can anyone here help me identify it? |

That is an Army M5 High Speed Tractor circa 1942. It was manufactured by International Harvester from May 1942 through May 1945. It carried a .50 caliber MG on the gun ring on the starboard side, ammunition storage for 56 105mm or 24 155mm rounds. It had a range of about 150 miles, maximum speed was 30mph. The follow-on M5A1 had an enclosed cab.  |
