My TM 43-0001-31 (Material Equipment Data Sheets book) says that an
M520 is an 8-ton 4x4. From the drawings, it looks articulated. The
description implies that with the proper modification kit, it floats
and swims. It doesn't say what it doe without the kit... :-) It has a
213 HP engine and an automatic transmission.
TM 43-0001-31 is a handy book for identifying all of those M???
numbers. Portrayal Press has them.
