You can see it on Hunnicutt's Bradley, page 78 & 80 - its identifiable by the smaller towing lugs/eyes.
Where the heck is it!?

Has most the former Kenosha WI Military Museum equipment.
On my list of places to see, They have an M60 mine roller kit, but unfortunately their M60A3 isn't a Roller Tank.

Bob,
My color vision isn't what it might be. I blame my mom.
Tank had a pad welded to the lower front hull and two points for the tension cables on top. If you ever spot a former roller tank you can't miss the attachment points in front.
