M60a1 lives!
Had a request from Craig to get the M60 going. After a 1 1/2 hour deal removing 5 gallons of water from the battery box...the seal is gone from the top hatch... and installing 6 fresh batteries, it roared to life after 6 years of sitting idle in it's spot at the east end of tank row. The best part of the day was that I got to drive it, only 200 or so yards, but I still got to play with a 116,000 pound toy! That beautiful Conti V-12 sounds great, smells even better and makes that thing scoot! The ground vibrates when it is running. It drives great and is very comfortable to pilot. Powered up the turret and gave it a bit of exercise and put it back in the shop area for a bit of PM. After looking at it all these years, it didn't look so big sitting out there, but when it is away from the other tanks, it is a MONSTER! Here are a few pics, tomorrow I'll get the videos up on my YouTube and put a link here.
Once again, I have to say thank you to Craig for trusting me with his treasures and letting me enjoy the experiences that I have had there.

People with tanks are cool.
A club friend finished his M47 Patton restoration in time to show it at our towns annual Christmas Parade, beautifull. Now he is working on his Sherman. BTW, he has a spare Continental C1 radial motor on Ebay right now.

Thanks for the photos! Seems be a massive amount of green iron clutter there. I would, for a small fee of course, be willing to help "straighten" that up and clear some space. LOL
It appears that you have been gifted with a rare opportunity to work with many types of green iron, CONGRATS!
God bless
Tony
