Need some help with a M551 turret!
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: Need some help with a M551 turret!

Hi Folks!



I have been inside this old gal twice. I have permission from the Museum Staff to turn the turret around.
The problem is I can not get it to move.
The travel lock was rusted in the locked position. I removed the four bolts that hold the assemble on the turret edge.
I tried to use the gunner's hand crank, but I still could not get the turret to move.

Short of using a large crane to lift the turret, does anyone have any suggestions that I might try to get this turret moving?

Mark the Tumble Weed! There is a Sherdian at Ft. Bliss that NEEDs your help!

Maybe Don or I can put in touch with Vic Pitts, he might have some ideas (he served on the pilot project at the Board and is restoring a nice one at the Charlotte Aviation Museum).

Check your PM's.

Hi Maple! Hi Folks!

Ahhhh, maybe find the manual and do the checklist?


Thanks to Doug and Vic, I how have a complete set of TMs for the M-551A1 and M-551 NTC vehicles and an understanding of what the problem maybe.

Frozen turrets on Sheridans that have not been moved in many years seams to be a common problem. I have a plan of action to apply brut force on Tuesday to break the rust lose and get the turret started moving.

By the way this will be plan B sense plan A didn't help.
