What did I stumble on, Deuce or 5-Ton??

[NDT]

What a treasure trove!!!! The trailer is a XM527 made by Freuhauf in 1963, it is the warhead transporter for the Sergeant Missile system. I thought I was the only one that had one of those. It is a 6 ton, would have had the single 11.00-20's. Looks like a second CCKW in the field across from the trailer. The CCKW in the shed had DUKW super singles on it.

Pics 1&3......awsome !

could you get a picture of the wheels on the truck in the barn ???????

 

[Fredo Corleone]

OK OK you got me on the air filter , good call but my call is close It is a Jeep and maybe worth going after if you want to restore one

Maybe a Diamond T or an International.

ODdave, as a matter of fact I do.....

NDT, Here's another old trailer. The I.D. tag says Corps of Engineers, Mfg. 1959 ... T52 252 Mean anything to ya?

SON OF A !!!

I need 4 of those wheels.

I would love to have the whole truck but definatly need those wheels. My Drive duce has a full set and I have 2 more towards another truck. Man lucky you!

That is a second Sergeant Missile warhead trailer that someone put a blank data plate on and stamped in some VIN info. That is my guess anyway. OD Dave, you do not want those wheels, they are 18"!

 

[ODdave]

Are you shure? I have 8 that look exactly the same and there 20in.

 

[F18hornetM]

I am always amazed at the knowledge some of you guys have about this stuff.

Yup, I've dismounted and blasted enough of them to know for sure.

 

[ODdave]

Then what the he11 do I have?

Me too. It's like "American Pickers" but of the OD steel kind. I've learned an enormous amount of knowledge just reading through posts/TM's here on S.S.

Then what the he11 do I have?

Combat wheels from the very early M34 deuce.

@ NDT, That red trailer had rollers all over it. You can see one up front (high), and one right where the upper deck drops down.... Plus others.

If I'm aloud back there, I'll be sure to take more pics.
So, what kind of winch was that in my photo? PTO driven MV?

I heard about this thread when I was visiting a fellow SS member today. Got to laugh at the 800 series guess.

As you know by now its a M-51. It will be either Diamond T or International Harvester and it look UNMOLESTED and I would LOVE TO HAVE IT!!! I want a dump so bad!!!

She is powered by the Continental 6602 gas engine. With that engine you will get anywhere from 2-4 MPG while trying to feed the Holley carb. There is a later carb that gives you a bit more power and runs not as rich and I am told is a solid 4 MPG.

This truck will be the cheaper of the 3 versions of this truck as not everyone can afford to feed the R6602. Parts are not as issue either.
Would love to see more pics of the M-51 on your next trip!!! There is alot of neat stuff in PA!!!
