M74 medium tank recovery vehicle
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.

Post subject: M74 medium tank recovery vehicle

Hi Folks!

I have surfing around the internet looking for some information on the number of M74s that where build.

I have found that the Bowen McLaughlin-York plant converted M4A3 tanks into M74s during February 1954 to October 1955.

I have found that Rock Island Arsenal converted 60 M32B3s into M74s during late 1958.

So far, 60 is the only number I have been able to find. Would any of you folks know of a wed site where I can find the number of converions done by Bowen McLaughlin-York?

Thanks everyone!

I have notes from a 1953 OCM that 650 M74s were recommended, but that was published before the vehicle was even officially standardized, so it is doubtful that this was the final number.

I contacted BMY several years ago and they regretted that they don't have anything records-wise.

Those RIA units are interesting, as they are M74B1s - M74s made from small hatch M4A3s. Hunnicutt lists them as "scheduled", but I've never seen a photo of one.

Hi Kurt! Hi Folks!

I guess BMY's lack of records is why Hunnicutt didn't list any production numbers. Odd that he would have the dates production started and stopped. (Page 478)

"Scheduled"! I totality missed that and jumped to the conclusion he was talking about production numbers completed.

Once more the Sherman has confused me!

Thanks Kurt!

I saw on the NAPCO International website that one of the vehicles they support is the M74. I wonder if they ever ran across a small hatch one that they rebuilt. They also re-engined the M32s for the Mexican Army as late as 1998.
