Re: Allis Chalmers M4 High Speed Gun Tractor
Here is another photo of my newly restored M4 HST at her first show .....Weymouth Veterans Festival / Armour & Embarkation in Dorset , UK in June . This was her first time on the road since being 'zero houred' by the Austrian Army in 1953 . She had only done 44 miles since then .....but needed a full re-build all the same . She has an original powerplant....a Waukesha 145 petrol engine ....and is totally original throughout . We have done everything on her .....every nut , bolt and washer . Very pleased with the results . Big thanks to Jason Jefferies , Allied Forces Canvas , Jobbers Inc , Bristol Stainless exhausts , SP Engineering and many more besides.....not forgetting my bank manager .....and the wife

Re: Allis Chalmers M4 High Speed Gun Tractor
Struggling to re-size photos from my camera at the mo....says the files are too big !.....so for now ......another piccy....here she is on the back of Jason Jefferies Diamond T and Rogers Trailer at Armour & Embarkation in Dorset , England in June . We were on a road run and this whole package looked fab ..... The next day , I drove it 20 miles down to Weymouth.....flat out....with no issues at all .....just had to open the transmission vents halfway down ( cos I forgot to open them before I left ....doh !!)....and tighten up a few track links when we got there . Well, it had been 60 years since they were last driven on the road .
More pix to come ....

Re: Allis Chalmers M4 High Speed Gun Tractor
They are some cool pix ! Cheers .....
Over the last 4 years of owning the M4 HST , I have amassed quite a few wartime pix of them 'in the field' so to speak . We looked at a lot of them when considering markings .....and went for an M4 called 'Connecticut Special' .....of 1st Army - 660th Field Artillery . I just tried to upload the photo ....but it says the file is too big !
Cheers
