The M60A1 running at an idle after sitting 6 years, letting the engine and components generate a bit of heat befoer the vehicle is moved. This clip shows the turret being traversed and elevated with the hydraulics instead of doing it manually. Taken at the American Society of Military History in So. El Monte, Ca

It's nice to see that , that M-60A1 is still running & preserved . I served on that exjact tank in the early seventys . When the tank was latest thing we had going . Later the M-60A2 came out in 1975 in Europe . My unit introduced them in country. We were the first to break them in overseas . The A - deuce , as we use to call them had a Shilaley 155 mm missle and a short gun tube . The turret was reconfigured it was kind of square and had four hatches , even the gunner had a hatch . Great Days .
