The turret of this M728 is reversed, and the short-barreled demolition gun is pointing over the engine deck. The crane boom and dozer blade are in their stowed positions, and the line from the bustle-mounted winch can be seen snaking out towards the boom. This tank is fitted with the cheaper steel road wheels which started to replace the aluminum road wheels on the M60 series in the early 1980s. (Picture courtesy Armor Foto.)

A better view of the headlight extensions is visible in this image. The tank mounting bulldozer M9 was essentially the M48A2's M8A1 bulldozer modified to fit the M60.
