RE: Dozer Blade
No Pershings carried dozer blades. All three Ford V-8 engines were underpowered for the 45 ton Pershing from the beginning, so dozer operations remained with the Shermans or the M-74 VTR when it came out. The first dozers on the Pershing chassis began after the Korean War (1953-54) first with the M-46 with Hq tanks, then expanded by 1955-56 to 1 tank per company. It was normally the 5 element, or Co XO's tank with aircraft radios. These were fully hydraulic with a reservoir on the rear plate with controls only in the driver's compartment. Mount the dozer on a Sherman, or wait 'til the new VVSS Shermans come out.
