M60A3 part 3

Many Many Thanks VB,

Did you notice that SN 22 had "Training Tank Only" welded across the front? She's one of a handful floating around on display that stayed in service to the very end, 30+ years. This one went through a complete rebuild, that's why she has the armored air cleaner boxes along with many other late upgrades. The big indicator of a complete rebuild are the Arm Housings I asked you to photograph. She's got the later heavier housings. These would not have been original and changing them all out would not occur except at depot level. The example I posted is of the earlier/lighter version only used the first year of manufacture. Lot of work and money spent just to keep a Non-Combat worthy tank in service.

On another note, I like the roller kit in front of the M60A3, too bad she's not a Roller tank, since then they could mount them and be the only such combo on display in the US (That I know of).

Thanks again VB
