Half-track Car M9A1

Half-track Car M9A1.

Although analogous to the half-track Car M2A1, the M9A1 featured a personnel-carrier-length body and lacked the side ammunition stowage compartments. The ring mount for the .50cal MG dominates the front right corner of the vehicle, and the outline of a rear door can be seen in the rear of the passenger compartment.

Half-track Personnel Carrier M9A1.

The IHC half-tracks used an engine produced by that company. The RED-450-B could hold 10.5 quarts (~10L) of oil, and the engine weighed 1250lb (567kg) with accessories. (Picture from TM 9-707 Basic Half-Track Vehicles (IHC).)
