J-5 Tankett

Built as a homage to the Panzerkampwagen 38(t) or Czech LT vzor 38, this tankett was painstakingly built by an unknown craftsman at China Lake Air Station sometime in the 1980s. It sat in the CA desert for a number of years and was refinished in NC in 2008.

The base vehicle is a 1950-1960 Bombarder J-5. Its structure is built with one inch steel square tube, on to which are attached aluminum panels with aviation machine screws. The turret can rotate 270 degrees and has a top hatch. The engine can be accessed via twin maintenance fenders which are hinged forward.

The J-5 is currently configured for one crewman, but with some modification could accommodate 2. It has no weapons mounted, although a .50 single shot and a 1919 have been mounted to the turret before. There is no armoring, although there is sufficient H to mount 1 inch plate around the crew compartment.

It is powered by a Chrysler 251 flathead six (114HP) which makes maintenance simple and cheap. The mechanical fuel pump has been replaced with an electric one, as well as supplemented with a fuel flow regulator to adjust to different altitudes. The original fuel tank (included) was replaced with a marine fuel cell for ease of removal and safety.

The J-5 has 3 forward and 1 reverse gear and steering is via track braking. Track tensioning is via grease injection, the suspension is via air cushioned road wheels, and this vehicle received a new drive sprocket during the 2008 refit. J-5 parts are available from Minnesota Outdoor Sports Specialties. The turret can easily be removed and the vehicle can be used as a tow tractor. It has a top speed of around 25-30 MPH, has a low ground pressure, and is a blast in snow and mud.

If you are wanting to get into tracked vehicles, but don't have a fortune to spend, here is your chance.

Length-104"
Width-58"
Height-60" to top of turret
Clearance-24"
Weight-approx 3500 pounds

Two fully restored French Puteaux 1937 Anti -Tank Cannons

     Professionally converted to .50 caliber shooters. BATF demilled for 25mm. Recently exhibited at various military shows and currently on exhibit at an Indiana military museum. Cannons have custom machined full length .50 caliber barrel inserts and are fully functional. Cannons fire with great accuracy. Also included is a custom machined stainless steel shell that can be loaded with black powder and shotgun primer. Generates a great amount of smoke and noise when fired. Guns have all matching parts. Cameo paint design. Weighs only 700 pounds and is easily trailered by a jeep or other vehicles.  

     The French 25mm SA.L Model 1937 was an improvement on the 25mm Model 1934. These anti-tank guns served France up to the German invasion of 1940. They were captured and used by Germany and its allies including Vichy France and Finland. In German service, the cannon was designated 2,5cm PAK 113. These cannons were in service in the North African Campaign and in the Finnish war with the Soviet Union. During transport, the shield folds forward and locks in place by a coil spring and handle. The 25mm is fitted with both iron sights and and optical scope. The 25mm SA.L 1937 has several unique features. The tube is fitted with a single baffle muzzle brake plus a flash hider. There is an exposed spring around the tube. This is part of the Hydro-Spring Recoil Mechanism. During setting up to fire, the wheels lift up, lock in place and a steel dish pad under the axel drops down giving the cannon three points of contact including the two spades on the split rails and the pad. Two men can easily emplace the cannon due to its light weight. Elevation and Traversing handles are within easy reach with the trigger and safety located on the elevation handle grip. These cannons appear to have been imported into the US from Finland over 60 years ago. In addition to the Puteaux oval serial plate, there is a Finnish plate on each split rail.

Caliber - 25mm(0.98 in)
Length of tube - 1925mm (75.8in)

Elevation - -10 degrees to +26 degrees

It starts at the first push of the button and runs like new as you would expect. Cab carries a driver and 3 passengers. It is an all aluminum hull so you will never be doing rust repair.

Top speed is rated at 38 miles/hour and the cruising range is 300 miles. The M548 is still in US Military service and is a member of the M113 APC family of vehicles. The .50 cal machine gun and it's mount are not for sale or included in the sale of this machine. The ring mount is bolted to the vehicle and sells with it. Some of the other optional equipment include the fiberglass cab cover, cab personnel heater (not working), rifle mounts (M14 rifles not included), new insulated cargo cover, material handling kit, 20,000 pound front winch with snatch block.
