The Mack NO was a heavy 6x6 cargo truck of 7 and a half tons off-road payload, designed in the 1940s by Mack Trucks as an artillery tractor for the United States Army. Development began in 1940 to tow heavy guns and howitzers such as the 155 mm gun and the 240 mm howitzer. It was powered by a six-cylinder Mack EY petrol engine of about 11.6 litres delivering 159 horsepower, with a five-speed transmission and a transfer case giving high and low ranges, and it carried a Garwood winch. The NO-1 started a series of five similar prime movers, of which the NO-2, NO-3, NO-6 and NO-7 were built and the NO-4 and NO-5 salvage prototypes were not. In total 2,053 were made, and the design was developed after the war into the M123 semi-tractor.
