One of the most needed maintenance parts was spark plugs. Most of the M4 tanks had R975 Wright nine-cylinder air-cooled radial engines.

Right - what a mess - but I think that was fixed after the Sherman switched to the Ford inline engine. Goes to show you that the Sherman wasn't a full design - it adopted the chasis and suspension from the m2,m3 and used surplus airplane engines
Hell, but I still like the old girl, you get that ma' duce spraying lead as it rolls into battle - a vicious looking tank!
