We got to borrow that very same Moto-Tug for an event at the former RAF Bury St Edmunds this month...

I believe this is a 1944 Clarkcat Tug. I purchased it several years ago from Kent Blankenburg at Pine Mountain Lake in California. More photos here: https://picasaweb.google.com/1072016634 ... 1/ClarkTug

Here is my Clarket. It was originally delivered to United Airlines at National Airport May 27, 1963 as a baggage cart but it does a good job with the T-6

Good time to revive this thread, as I just now dug up and digitized these last two shots of tow tractors (here used as "trackless trains") from the Mercury Mfg. Co. files:

Image
A-20G? "2554" is scribbled on the nose but it doesn't match any A-20 serial, and Douglas production #2554 was a B-18.

Image
A-20As, pre- or early wartime from the insignia, but the censor got the numbers.
