Cushman model 67

Post by tractor12 » Sat Feb 18, 2017 6:12 pm

Been working on my model 67 getting it disassembled for blasting and paint. I came across the USA number on the toolbox but its missing the data plate and front box. It had tmp 85 on the od layer above the USA numbers on the toolbox. Does anyone have a clue what tmp 85 stands for. Temporary? Any other owners of Cushman model 67s?

Long ago the military referred to the fleet of vehicles being serviced to a base or post as the Transportation motor pool. (PS: I think that term is still in use) Might be the TMP with the 85th vehicle. Just a guess,.

I would agree with 17thAirborne said about the TMP. I would also Add that TMP vehicles were your 44 passage bus, cattle cars and sedans not found in tactical units. I spent 20 years in the Army and That's my best guess on the subject.
