Description
Introducing the Clarktor 6 Aircraft/bomb tug!

History
The first Clark Tructractor was known as the “Clarktor”. It was introduced into service in 1926 and was capable of towing loads of over 1 ton on trolleys. The debut vehicle led to more powerful vehicles being developed to cope with ever-increasing loads. These new vehicles in the Clarktor range included more powerful lifting trucks, such as the “Clipper” in 1941, which helped American armed forces to more efficiently load trucks and railway wagons with the logistical supplies needed to keep units operational.

The “Clarktor 6” was was known for its compact size and was developed for use on airfields as an aircraft tug. The Clarktor 6, with a wheelbase of four feet and eleven inches, was powered by a water-cooled Chrysler six-cylinder 230-cid flathead gasoline engine of 6 2hp, with a three-speed “crash” gearbox that could reach a maximum speed of 15 mph. Production began in 1942, and by the end of the war Clark had delivered thousands of different cargo handling vehicles, including an order for more than 1,500 Clarktor 6s for the British Royal Air Force. These were built as a version designated “BH”, standing for ‘British Heavy’, and supplied to Ministry of War Transport for the RAF under the Lend Lease Act.

Starting Procedure
1.Turn the key
2. Press the starter button
3. Release the parking brake

Forward and reverse are switched by the 1 key.
Don't expect this to be a speed demon, Its primary goal is to pull heavy loads and it does it superbly despite its small size.


I created this to tow VMan's B-17 and it does so with ease. Coupled with the M5 bomb cart its a great addition to any WWII airfield.

Thanks to Bubblehead Blake and Vman Htown with some of the details
