This tank, one lend-1eased to Brazil, was donated by the Brazilian Army, from their reserve, to the museum in April 1976. It had been found with a tree growing up through the driver's floor escape hatch and out through the sponson roof hatch. It was in a very poor condition but was restored to running order using parts from the museum’s M31B2 TRV. It was moved by transporter from Fort Knox to Fort Benning on 8 December 2010.
