Hi All. Thanks for the comments, info and PMs.

Please follow this link to find some more (current) photos.
Some are a bit fuzzy due to rain/snow getting on the camera while taking the photos sorry.

https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B2...FsS3NxUGc/edit

Also, a bit of info from our Fitters assessment.

Off the compliance plate is the following -

Carrier, Cargo, Full Track M548
USA DARCOM FMC Corporation Ordinance Division San Jose California
MFG Serial number GAB00043
NATO # 2350-00-078-4545
MAX Towing load of 14500 lb
Engine Governed to speed 2800 rpm
Max speed Vehicle
First 10 MPH
Second 20 MPH
Third 40 MPH
Gross Weight 28390 lb

It was driven into the yard with all parts functioning.
Original fuel tank at the rear leaked so an Aux tank was fitted later. Fuel line from that are perished and need replacing.
Batteries are flat.
Was not able to start it on the day a few thing to check and replace first.


I would still love to find out where this unit may have served if anyone can help.
