And more gravel/timber as well. You thought your Deuce sunk out of sight, wait until you see one of these sink.

I'm going to fire our museum's M60A3 up for the year on May 8th. A little PMCS and it should be good to go. They are fun to drive, even more fun to ride in. Worst part of them is having to work on them, everything is heavy, and very hard on the human body.

No, it belongs to a museum. It is a M60

Actually the solid rubber tracks are the older type. The new one is the replaceable pad type. Just look at current issue M1A1's and the M60A3's. All of them have the replaceable pad tracks. The tracks are not hard on the asphault (unless its very thin) unless you start neutral steering them...

Totally agree Yohan. Should have noted that we have only done this on flat ground :-D. Anything with a grade and we get another one of our 60's to do the work. With the 10A if you go more than 2 or 3 mph pulling one of these you're going way to fast, normally our ground guides have to slow...

And no you don't have to worry about it getting out of control due to speed, the 10A doesn't go fast enough in low gear to have to worry about it and the tracks have enough resistance to them that they stop pretty quick once you quit pulling.

We've moved our M60's with a 10,000lb forklift that they use on base called a M10A with the 400lb Heavy Towbar (and heavy is an understatement). Just unhook the tranny at the final drives so all you're turning is the track and it will move it. Don't know if I would try to take it a mile like...

Heres a picture so you can compare. The desert camo is an M60A1 that saw action with the Marines in Desert Storm. The OD Green tank is our M60 "slick".

That is a M60 "slick" (not an A1). Compared it to both our slick and A1 at the museum. The way you can tell is by the bottom of the turret. On the slick you what you see it what you have, on an A1 the turret angles up there by the gun mantle.
