Richardson motor pool at Fort Knox
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.

Thought I'd share these,

Not your average M60's,

M48A5E1 4494
Hydraulics were bled off and the manual EL handle was inop (Most likely needing bleeding and a Nitro precharge) so I was unable to put the turret out front. Someone also recently broke the travel lock.

M60A2 4666
Had better luck with this girl, stubby tube helped with the clearance too.

Then there are these two that haven't been photoed in a while.

M60A1 4284

M60A3 836

It was a treat to see the original 'JOE D' Camera pole in action. Hopefully you got what you were looking for. I'll post photos of the vehicles we were working on, once they get their fresh coats of paint. Awesome stuff, thanks for helping out. Regards Don
