I photographed last year a M88A1 from Arkansas National Guard. The track has several parts attached that I couldn´t identify. Does anyone here know what might be the function of these?
Not all of them and I’m prepared to be corrected but working from top to bottom you’ve circled:
-
What appears to be a radio antenna bracket over the starboard side spare track links
-
Not sure what’s over the port side spare tracks but it looks like a bracket to mount them or something else.
-
The port side service light assembly (headlights)
-
That big round beast on the glacis looks like a snatch block for creating a mechanical advantage system
-
That last picture, as you’ve obviously highlighted it, is a tow ring
The pictures where you haven’t highlighted things are too complicated to start labeling parts.
