Tank Track
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

I asked a question about the track on the M47 tank. Someone responded with the type of track and all of the other vehicles that used it. Can anyone help me find that thread? I can't find it _________________ "TUMBLEWEED"

Mark, Common M47 track was T84 series, which was narrower than the T97 and T142 of the M48/60 series. The M53/55 SP Howitzer/Gun used the same track along with just about all the experimental Heavy T29/30 series tanks IIRC. There was an earlier version of track the M47 used that was steel with rubber backing, but not sure of it's designation. _________________ Joe_D

Thanks, Joe but I made a big mistake. I meant M41 track. It was used on several vehicles. Sorry. _________________ "TUMBLEWEED"

Now that's a whole slew of vehicles there , Can't help you there, Love the M41 and how she looks, growing up those and M47's is what I thought tanks should look like. But I'm not that familiar with her. _________________ Joe_D

- Joe_D growing up those and M47's is what I thought tanks should look like. Amen to that! Ever since I first watched the movie "Battle of the Bulge" the M47 is in my top 5 tanks that I like.

Sherman Panther M60A2 Sheridan M47 And that's just for 'tanks', which self-propelled tanks are my favorite type of AFV's. SU-100, Sturmgeschuetz, Jagdtiger, Sturmtiger, Jagdpanzer (I think you get the point).

...and to think I used to consider Jeff, Mark and Don were fairly rational guys. They are now going on my "watch list". As the question is "most liked" tanks, here's my top five: M60A1 M41 Centurion Conquerer Panther Honorable mention-fantasy subsection-"balls of steel" battalion T29-T34 Heavy Tanks (U.S.) ...and just to pre-empt and PO Bob: M6
