Hello,

First time posting here.

I was wondering if anyone had any information about the M275A2 US Tractor. I want to try converting the AFV club M35A2 into this version. Any help would be apreciated. Matt

Matt,

Welcome!!! (i fixed the post for ya)

thanks

matt

Here iare some photos for the 275. http://www.jedsite.info/transport/golf/g742_series/m275/m275-archive.html https://armorama.kitmaker.net/photos/showgallery.php?cat=13233&ppuser=1742 I have built a couple of these little tractors. I am planning to build the recovery version soon.

thanks for the link animal.

Do you have any line drawings for the M275,with dimensions and the like. Also what type of trailers did these tow.

Matt

Let me check around. I might have some.

Look at Portrayal Press for a copy of the TM -- that will give you simple line drawing & enough photos to work around anything. Ditto on the trailers below.

As to trailer, I believe all were based on the single-axle 6-ton chassis, M117 -- the two I am familiar with are the M118 S&P and the M119 Cargo.

I had some 275's & 119's in the early 70's in Germany, they were fine for hauling my parts vans which really never moved much, but I much preferred my 5-ton tractors & 12-ton trailers.

John,
Thanks for the help, but would it be possible for you to post the line drawings here or e-mail them to me (e-mail addy should be in my profile)because i really cant by anymore books for a while. Also any pics that you might have for the trailers.

Thanks,

Matt

Thanks for the line drawings. that will help alot.

Matt

Ps. Any line drawings for the trailers would be appreciated.

Matt:

I see animal bailed me out on the 275.

I have no drawings/pictures of the tractor or trailer myself, I just remember 'em.

Another "good" source is to prowl the military vehicle restoration/collector magazines in one of your larger local book stores -- you might get some pix for a couple bucks.

John

John,
Thanks for the help, i will look around next time im at the bookstore.
