2 - TON VEHICLES
The 2 - ton series of vehicles is designed for use on all types of roads and cross-country terrain in
all weather conditions. It is a six-wheel-drive vehicle, powered by an in-line, six-cylinder, multifuel
engine, with a five-speed manual transmission and two-speed transfer case. It has six-wheel, air-
assisted hydraulic brakes. The front axle uses leaf-spring suspension, while the rear axles are
mounted together on a bogie-type suspension system. All vehicles in-this series use the same basic
chassis with minor differences in length and power take-offs.
