Castelletto Sopra Ticino. Museo Gottard Park
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

The first picture appears to be a diesel engine. No spark plug wires. Maybe an AVDS-1790-2 series. A=Air cooled, V=V shaped cylinder configuration, D=Diesel, S=Superturbocharged. 1,790 Cubic Inch displacement.


Is definitely a diesel engine of the AVDS-1790 family, more exactly the left view of a didactical cutaway.
At the rear of the engine, the left of the pic posted from Massimo, with a wider view we would have seen the right supercharger.
Thanks to Massimo for these interesting photos.

Thanks for the help Giacomo. Glad you like the pictures, I will post something more soon, they also have an italian artillery tractor, looks like a TM-40, but I am not 100% sure.

After September 1943 the areas around Foggia and Lecce were full of airbases, they were pretty busy places up to 1945.

Hi Massimo,
this is a TM 48, post war development of the TM 40.
Again, very nice pics, thanks.

Thanks for the pointer Giacomo!
Indeed I wasn't sure about that, so I posted on an italian forum to get some help, but got no answer:
forum.worldwar.it/Foru...55&t=25859

Funny I've got help on an international forum Smile
BTW What are the exterior differences between TM 40 and 48?

At first glance you can spot a TM 48 (actually a FIAT labelled truck as SPA trademark disappeared in 1947) from the squared fenders, different tires size and rear ammunitons stowage.

You can find here:

Le Gallerie di Modellismo Più - Trattori d'artiglieria - TM 40

an interesting and well restored TM 40.

A presto
