That one would have had no problems. It was only really the track that was mired.
If it had been turret mired, and there was muddy water over the back deck and in the engine, they would probably have to tow it back to battalion maintenance, and at least change the engine. I'm not sure how waterproof the turret components are, but if I remember correctly, you weren't even supposed to spray them with a hose when cleaning the inside of the turret, so you may well have to replace all those as well. But the beauty of the M1 is that everything is designed for easy swapout, including the engine.
