Kuwaiti M84 or US M48?

Neither. US M84 - the self propelled mortar based on the M59 APC.

A Yugoslav M84 tank would be M84 YUG, or M84 YUG/KWT for an ex Kuwaiti one...

Neil

For some years an M60A3 has stood sentry at the VFW Post in Ypsilanti; I'll try to take pics and get its SN soon.

Yep, I got the one in Ypsilanti - could probably use a better pic though...

Hello Neil, Shawn here, do you happen to know my last name? You have a Shawn Ferguson credited in the register footnotes...

I will be happy to check on anything that I can. I will be out and about and will try to check on those in my vicinity... I will try to confirm those on this list. I dont recall any M114A2 ever being in Ferndale, how did you come across this? Did it list where it might have been?

I need to check the new updated register... what is the newest one anyway... I didnt see the Estral Beach M4A3 (hopefully to be reconfirmed by the end of this week) or the Berville VFW Post 203 M60A3 on the 2008 list...

I havent been to the Camp Grayling gate in a few, I thought the M60 had been moved, but I dont know for sure.
SR

Hey Neil,
I was going over the register and noticed that the Estral Beach Sherman is listed under the town of Newport... which is in that locale, but the Village of Estral Beach is a specific location and a different town/village, with a good 4-5 miles seperating the 2, at least, plus all the marshes and leveys in between. If someone is looking for that tank they wont find it in Newport.
SR

Does the one in 'Climax' still shoot?

- SHAWN

Hello Neil, Shawn here, do you happen to know my last name? You have a Shawn Ferguson credited in the register footnotes...

Umm... Is that not your last name? I do have a Shawn Ferguson who provided a lot info back in 2006... I thought that was you, which is why I asked... Did we used to have another poster named Shawn Ferguson, in Michigan, back in 2006?...

I will be happy to check on anything that I can. I will be out and about and will try to check on those in my vicinity... I will try to confirm those on this list. I dont recall any M114A2 ever being in Ferndale, how did you come across this? Did it list where it might have been?

Ferndale is identified by the TACOM Central Registry, like most of the unconfirmed listings...

I need to check the new updated register... what is the newest one anyway... I didnt see the Estral Beach M4A3 (hopefully to be reconfirmed by the end of this week) or the Berville VFW Post 203 M60A3 on the 2008 list...

I wasnt aware of the Berville tank...

Here's the complete Michigan section so far - ignore the footnotes numbering...

XM1 Abrams USA std? PV4, has original Chrysler XM1 turret

Any other info on the original Chrysler XM1 turret nowdays? Maybe some photos?

It's been a few months since I have been in Muskegon, but as far as I know the M60 on Apple and the M60 on Witham are still there. The M48A1 that was at the VFW hall on Getty street in Muskegon is gone, having been moved across the street to the grounds of the L-3 Combat propulsion systems factory where it is somewhat visible from the road, but off limits to the public.

The M5 Stuart at John Ball park in Grand Rapids is most definitely gone. I have lived in Grand Rapids since 1999, I don't ever recall seeing it at John Ball Park.
