It's a tow tractor commonly referred to as a tak 32 (-32). It's used for hauling around support equipment for military aviation. This one looks to be outfitted for munitions or Lox hauling (liquid oxygen). Drove them plenty of times in the service 3cyl diesel engine I believe.

@SparksMotorsCo United Tractor SM40-A9 or possibly SM80 is what it looks like you have. The diesel engine swap is because the low combustion point of diesel compared to gasoline or lpg counterparts to reduce the risk of fire or explosion when hauling ordinance or explosives.

was thinking it might be a Nissan Industrial Diesel engine. If it is 6cyl (looks to be) the crankshaft itself is a highly desired by Datsun/Nissan guys who drool on Z cars. If I understand it right that crank can be swapped into Z's to increase compression. (longer stroke). BUTT.. other side of coin is..... that is why this 6cyl Diesel is hard to find one running.... so that diesel engine is entering the "collectable" zone.
