Hey there Guys,
I just started work on the tamiya M1A1 w/ mine plow, and i have a question regarding the chain. Is it cut into pieces to mount on the plow or is it kept as 1 long piece? Also, am I suppose to open up a link to attach it to the mounting eye holes, or use the copper wire to attach it?
Any help or photos would be great.
Thanks, Joe

The mine plough is on a USMC M60 but its the same as those put on the Abrams
Hope this help you.

I believe there should be three lengths all together. The long one runs from the shovel on the left to the left skid, acros the middle with the dogbone and to the right skid, then over to the right shovel. The other two are akin to safety connections for the main part of the plow and connect from the shovels to the hull of the Abrams.
