It is based on the M113 armored personnel carrier, and was built by FMC Corp. at its San Jose, California, and Charleston, West Virginia facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts light weight allows the use of a relatively small engine to power the vehicle, a 6V53 Detroit two-stroke six cylinder diesel, with an Allison TX-100-1 three-speed automatic transmission, and allows the vehicle to carry a large payload cross-country and to be transported by fixed and rotary-wing aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe driveline consists of a front sprocket, five roadwheels and a rear tensioner. Suspension is by torsion bar. Support rollers are not necessary because of the taut and relatively light track. In off-road driving, the driver must be careful to keep the track tension constant. Even with a failed torsion bar the M548 is still roadworthy. The power of the motor drives the transfer gearcase, generator and the cooling of the differential\/steering gear. The transfer gearcase can be used as a separating clutch when towing the vehicle and serves to reduce the motor's speed. The power transmission between the drive follows the torque converter with an automatic lock-up clutch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recon341","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46685336895677,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/0396\/8957\/files\/s-l1600_2d354967-99d7-490e-b4da-47f9893c16ef.webp?v=1776603693","url":"https:\/\/recon341.com\/products\/ho-scale-1-87-m548-tracked-cargo-carrier-un-covered-desert-camo-us-army","provider":"Recon341","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
