Finished up with the front axle today: installed new oil seals & boots on both sides, reassembled both sides and filled with NGLI #2 (GAA equivalent) grease, installed new NAPA gas shocks, and replaced all 3 front flexible rubber brake lines with custom-made braided stainless steel brake lines...
Zippered boot replacement can easily be found in TM9-2320-209-20-3-1, Chapter 11-6.
Oil Seal replacement, steering knuckles removal, etc... can be found in TM9-2320-361-20, Chapter 7.

Rubber track pads & ice don't make good partners....the rubber loses the majority of its flexibility when it reaches freezing temperatures (i.e., running on ice) and it is very easy to get tracked vehicles sliding when on ice.
In 1986 I was stationed halfway up Mount Fuji in Japan. We hated...
It's an M48 hull; you can even see the original glacis plate & driving lights through the open "hatch" in the second & third photos...the M60-series has 3 return rollers, the older M48s had 5. It has the newer non-directional track, but it definitely looks like a movie prop....possibly a German...
