i I REALLY THINK YOU I
GUYS ARE OVER-LOAPING
ANP UNTIL YOU REGROUP
SI'M CUTTING YOU OFF

A fuse the best friend your communication or electronic equipment has!
That's right, 'cause a fuse sacrifices itself when a wayward electrical current
attacks your equipment or electrical circuit. Thus a lot of expensive cables, tubes,
circuits, wiring, transformers, resistors, and the like, are saved from massive
damage by a little ol' fuse.
Coming in all shapes and sizes, it serves silently, guarding against electrical
current surges or overloads, grounding and short circuits.
And, you take the fuse for granted until it's time to do its duty, then it fades
out or kicks up a fuss in the form of a pow, a pssft or an alarming noise.

YEAH
FUST SHORT CIRCUIT
WE FEEL IN THAR--
ZAP--WE CLOSE
DOWN THE WORKS.,

GOT FUSE BLUES? *
Now you say you know what a fuse is to do, but they come in so many
sizes with a lot of gobbledegook lettering your problem's knowing which one
to use as a replacement?
Well, back off and let the fairy tale be unfolded on the confusion of fuses.
First off, there are 4 basic types or families of fuses:

LINK CARTRIDGE

PLUG

KNIFE-

BLADE

The fuse not only
guards the circuits but it
also acts as a fault indica-
tor.
When the fuse blows or
goes, you should replace
'er with an identical one.
If she goes again, it means
you have trouble along the
line or within the drcuit
and this takes some look-
ing into. Maybe higher
level maintenance on the
equipment is needed.
" In the makeup of fuses,
the most important rating
is current flow or amper-
age since that's the reason
for a fuse in the first place.
So, when your equip-
ment calls for a specific
amp fuse, that's the one to
use. ~
Never use a fuse with
an amperage rate higher
than the equipment calls
for.

THECARTRIDGE FUSE
The cartridge is probably the most discussed and
cussed because of its multiple uses and sizes and varia-
tions in shape.
Basically, the cartridge is tubular in shape, made of
glass, plastic, wood, ceramic or the like, with an inclosed
fuse link core attached to 2 ferrule or cap ends.
It measures 1 to 10 inches long and has an ampere
rating of .001 to 60 amps.

OFTEN TE THE LINK FUSE
ENDICATOR-
ALARM TYPE The link-type, which includes the in-
USE IS USEP dicator-alarm, is a simple wire, ribbon

SPLIT CU T. making up the fuse metal.
The indicator-alarm-type is usually
found in telephone circuitry systems
I where a buzzer, noisemaker or signal
S lights lets you know the fuse has gone
kaput.

THE PLUG

SE

The most common is the plain old house fuse, or plug-
type, which is used in 110-volt AC branch circuit. The
threaded plug, often called the Edison-base type, has a
mica or glass window to let you see the condition of the
fuse.
The metal thread-type has a buddy, the ceramic-
threaded Fustat fuse that requires an adapter to round
South its fuse duties.
You may find the plug-type in circuits of from 0.3 to 30
amps and 125-volt ratings.

TTHE KNIFE- BLADE FUSE
p Last, but not least is the knife-blade fuse which likes
to play the role of tough guy 'cause it can take currents
ranging from 60 to 600 amperes. That's why it's usually
found in main fuse boxes and electrical power plants
or installations.

FUSE TYPE TAUI
To help cut confusion on fuses, a type designation is being stamped on 'em as
required by Military Spec MIL-F-15160D. Heavy emphasis is on the cartridge
fuse, because of its multiple uses, sizes, etc.
CO course, the stamping looks like a lotta Greek, like, frinstance:

The letter A gives the fuse's The 250V (volts) is merely

Fuse blowing characteristics are noted by the letters A, B, or C. These symbols
mean:

ing capacity) blo) C erupting capacity)

OLD C TYPE FUSES
To tie in the C-type with the new D-type of military standard for fuses,
MIL-F-15160 specification, just follow this conversion.
Like, for the C-type it'll be identified as FO1AR001A.
The F01 is the same as for the D-type fuse; the first A is 32 volts; R001 is 0.001
amps with the R as a decimal point, and the last A is blowing time characteristic,
which is also the same as the D-type.
Here're a couple tables that'll show the C-type setup.

A =32 volts H= 500 RO01 to R009 = 0.001 to 0.009
B=52 J= 1,000 R010 to R099 =.010 to.099
C=90 L 2,500 RI00 to R999 =.100 to .999

IT'S GOT A PATA
PLATE ON IT AND I
JUST WANNA BE
SURE ,ou
RETUR, IT

The manufacturer's data plate on an
Army aircraft is important and has got
to be on the bird at all times. It carries
the airframe serial number--the bird's
identification--from assembly line to
deep six time.
No matter where you find the plate
attached you never tamper with it ex-
cept at salvage time. O'course, you or
your support unit may have to remove
it during repairs, but make sure it gets
put back on. Anytime you find the data

plate missing let your CO know ..
pronto.
If the data plate takes an enemy slug
or is badly mutilated in an accident,
turn in whatever is left to your main-
tenance officer. He'll send it by regis-
tered mail thru command channels to
the U.S. Army Aviation Materiel Com-
mand, ATTN: AMSAV-F, St. Louis,
Mo. 63166, with a letter request for a
replacement plate.

I UMAYS B THE
CLAMP W PZNE
CHAMP o

Every fling-wing knucklebuster has battled his temper boo-coo times while lin-
ing up and torquing down the clamp assemblies holding the Huey's tail rotor
drive shaft.
A few PM tips will turn your sizzle to simmer and make you the champion
clamp assembly man in your outfit. The pilot'll appreciate it, too!
Some clamps are steel, some aluminum, so start with metal-matching clamp
assemblies. Now take a close look at the assembly. If one of the halves is busted,
banged up, scarred, or cracked, get a complete clamp. Never use un-matched
clamp halves.

." _. -- -------- -_ '

You might get a substitute nut, P/N H22-4, from supply. If so, just don't use
it on the same clamp with the 52Z1835-48 nut. No mocky-nicky nut/bolt deal
allowed on any clamp, anytime, Podner.
With a copy of the -20 in your mitts, start working at the 90 tail rotor gear
box and work toward the transmission. Starting on the tail rotor end means that
the main rotor blades don't turn every time you put torque on the clamps ... or
when you turn the shaft 90 to add another clamp assembly.

Like as not Tiger, you II gel some le
distance before the nut/bolt is sealed
and/or mated. So-o-o-o, during the nut-
tightening sequence, top the clamp with
a rubber mallet to keep the clamp

After tapping, set your torque wrench on 30 in-lbs

When minimum torque is reached-tap around

The ARC-54 whip antenna on your Huey (UH-IC, D, H) has a habit of
flexing into the tail rotor blades. So, make sure your bird has a wedge-type
spacer between the antenna base and fin. The spacer tilts the antenna away from
the blades no baloney!! MWO 55-1500-200-20/6 (2 May 68) has the scoop.

For the combining transmission oil diup-out we add about 7 feet of 1'-in ID neoprene

Dear Editor,
Oil backup from our Chinook's engine
overboard drains and the combining trans-
mission oil drain used to keep the fuselages
in a mess. It created a hazard to crew mem-
bers and troops, too, because oil ran and
dripped down onto the ramp area. A mis-
step and somebody became a fall guy!
We've come up with a couple of ideas
that keep the aft section clean and dry. We
tape 6 to 8-in long scrap flex hose to each
engine drain outlet with green tape. F'ris-
tance, a used 20-in oil sample tube, FSN
4710-933-4416, cut into 3 pieces, works
fine on the V'-in drains. Takes 10 tubes-
6 for right hand engine, 4 for left. Tying
each set of tubes together in a couple of
places with .032-in double twist safety wire
makes 'em stronger and easier to handle.

Our crews don't get on oil bath when pulling engine run-ups, and the Chinook's rear
end and ramp stays clean and dry for our mechanics pulling maintenance and for troops
getting on and off.

a batch of busted backsides!)

OF NATURAL There's a bit of a measuring problem when in-
GAGE TESTERS! stalling the forward synchronizing drive shafts in
the Chinook.
Installing and torquing bolt, P/N AN5H30, in
* .rj S resilient mount, P/N 107D3146-6, calls for 7/64-

It's almost impossible to fit a ruler or fine incre-
ment scale in there in order to come up with an
accurate measurement.

Dear Editor, --- ~
Your air mobile shelter, FSN 4920-900-8378 sure gets moved about in the field.
Result: Busted fluorescent tubes that jar loose.
Here's a fix for keeping your tubes in place to save Uncle some moola and head
off the broken glass hazard. Broken fluorescent tubes are real dangerous.
Just add two springs, P/N V-46, FSN 5340-682-1642, under tension, below the
two tubes and you've got it made.

(Ed Note-Outstanding! Newer shelters will have this problem solved but this
fix can be used on all shelters now in the field.)

That's right, bird wranglers. Never use the T-41B parking brake to hobble or
stop a moving Mescalero. Hobbling the bird with the parking brake breaks or
pulls the cable loose where it swages into the cable assembly. No adjustments are
allowed on the system so a busted or stretched cable means a Mescalero red X'd
for cable replacement.

Thr FM change genes )ou tht load clas- number for )our schicle. It has
tables for tracked vehicles, half-tracked vehicles, wheeled vehicles, towed
vehicles, construction equipment and standard combination vehicles (prime mover
and trailer).
If your vehicle or combination vehicle is not listed in these tables, Para IV-1
Appendix IV, of the FM change tells you how to get the right dope from

WELL IT'S "lII!
THE DRIVER 'S

ficarion number is painted on the right

normal design pa) load 2-1/2-tons.
You use the number in the Class C col-

as you see in Weight Column II in Table IV-3.
But this doesn't change your load class num-

no class C number listed. If no H number
either, you use the Class E number.)

Engineer Agency And there are data
charts showing exactly what info
CDCEA has to have to figure lour se-

WHAT WHERE' WHEN7
E en when their %chicles are listed
in those tables, some guys ha'e a little
trouble figuring out v which number goes
where on the vehicle, especially when
the''sc got a combination schicle-
like a truck and trailer.
So let's see how it's done using an
M35 2-1/2-ton cargo truck and an
M104 1-1/2-ton cargo trailer for ex-
amples, first as separate vehicles and
then as a combination vehicle.

TRAILER ALONE Go to Table IV-4,
Class Column C. Paint the number 4
on the right side of your M104 trailer.
That's all there is to it for the trailer.

CONSIDER
S- THE
TERRAIN.

COMBINATION VEHICLE For your M35
truck towing an M104 trailer, check
Table IV-7. Here again you use the
number in the class C column. So you
change your front number to 10. And,
since this's for a combination vehicle,
you show the red letter C above the
number.

(

ADD THE "C" FOR
COMBINATION VEHICLE

If you've got any kind of setup that's not listed in the tables in Ch 1 to FM
5-36, go to CDCEA with all the info they call for to pinpoint the load classi-
fication numbers for your single vehicle or combination vehicle.

Afe-on vrif nmltr odcasiiainfrsadr eilsi M53

Dear Sergeant N. B. O.,
All of your trucks with a gross weight (vehicle plus load) of 3 tons or more
carry the load class on the front. But you use the changeable number kit only if
that load class is likely to be changed, like for switching from a single vehicle to
a prime mover in a "combination vehicle."
If your truck (gross weight 3 tons or more) normally pulls a trailer with a
rated payload of more than 1-1/2 tons (or lighter, if trailer has load class listed),
you paint the iruck's basic load classification figure on the right door of the truck.
This does not apply to a truck unless it has a trailer normally assigned to it,
even though the truck has a towing pintle. ,

G749-SERIES 21/2-TON TRUCKS...

BLOCK & CHAIN WITH WINCH

Dear Half-Mast,
The BIlL in Ch 7 (Feb 65) to TM 9-
8024 sounds like all G749-series 2h-
ton trucks get Block, Snatch, FSN 4730-
833-7019, and Chain, Tow, FSN 4010-
047-3902. But I suspect these 2 items
are meant only for the trucks with
front-mounted winches. Am I right?
ISG J. W. M.

Dear Sergeant J. W. M.,
You suspect right-only trucks with front-mounted winches get the snatch
block and tow chain.
But, that FSN for the snatch block should be FSN 3940-625-6289. Even with
that FSN you may get Block, Snatch, FSN 3940-609-8026. This's the block for
G742-series 2-1/2-ton trucks with front winches, but it's OK for your G749-
series, too.
Block, Snatch, FSN 3940-625-6289, isn't in TM 9-8024 yet, but you'll find
it in Fed Cat C3940-IL-A (Mar 68). 41

The turbocharger is lubed by the
engine's oil. When the engine stops,
the oil flow halts. But and here's the
clinker the turbo is free-spinning. So
when you shut down the engine, the
turbocharger is still going around -at
35,000 to 50,000 RPM but not much
oil is being fed to it. That's rough on
the turbocharger bearings. And the tur-
bine blades also get real hot. All that
heat can work its way down the shaft
to the seals and shorten their life. A
sudden shutdown can also cool the
blades so fast that they'll warp.
What you want to do is let the engine
run idle a few minutes before you shut
it down. This brings the speed of the
turbine down enough so that when you
stop the engine the blades won't cool
off too fast and the bearings won't miss
the oil. JZQ 1 ,,hi
Starting right is just as important as
stopping right. So give the oil a chance

to reach the turbocharger and lube the
bearings by running the engine at idle
for 3 to 5 minutes before you roar
down the pike. /30 "
Overspeeding the turbo can also
mess up the bearings or maybe tear up
the turbo. You get overspeed by lug-
ging the engine with little or no let-up
- unless your turbo has a waste gate
to hold down the RPM's. A dirty air
cleaner can also cause overspeeding as
the turbo fights for air.

WEST COAST MIRRORS

Dear Half-Mast, / HAS THERE
We've got command authorization (un- BEEN A SWICH WE
der AR 385-55) to outfit our G744-series GET THE MIRRORS
5-ton trucks with those big West Coast- WITH THE BRACKETS
type mirrors like are standard equipment
for 10-ton trucks.
Several years ago I got some of these as shown in PS 145:
Mirror w/mounting bracket, right side, FSN 2540-575-8391
Mirror w/mounting bracket, left side, FSN 2540-575-8392
Now we're getting only the mounting brackets under those FSN's.
SSG J. A. H.

Dear Sergeant J. A. H.,
There were mirrors w/mounting brackets packaged under those FSN's at one
time (and they're still cropping up from older stocks), but they should come sep-
arately, like so:
Mirror, Rectangular,
16 x 6-in, FSN 2540-788-5637

Bracket, right side, Brcket, left side,
FSN 2540-575-8391 FN 2540-575-8392

This mirror goes with either bracket so you'll need 2 of 'em for both
sides of the truck.
The mirror and brackets are listed in Fed Cat C2540-IL-A (Jan 68).
There is a special mirror-with-bracket being designed for 5-ton trucks. It'll
be similar to that setup for 10-ton trucks. 9

LUBE CHART NEEDLE

Those needle bearing U joints in your 1/4-ton M151 can rust out faster than
you can say, "not lubed", Which is a pretty good reason why you want to give
the lubrication chart the once-over when you make with the grease gun. You
wouldn't want to miss any of those ump-teen fittings and without the LO in hand
they're harder to find than a needle in a haystack.

G742-SERIES 21/2-TON TRUCK...

THE CLUTCH KILLER
Look out for the clutch-rod butcher!
He's the guy who hacksaws a hunk
off the clutch-control rod on a G742-
series 2-1/2-ton truck. He's a well-
meaning guy he thinks he's saving (
Uncle a buck by getting just a little
more mileage out of the clutch facing.
But he's wrong. Know why? You
guessed it when that last bit of facing
gives out, the metal clutch plate comes l
smack dab against the metal flywheel.
Talk about hot! It's curtains for a good
part of the clutch assembly and prob-
ably the flywheel, too.
It's a pretty expensive way to save a buck.
So if you see a guy holding' a hacksaw and eyeballin' the clutch-control rod,
here's what you tell him:
When the rod's been adjusted so far that the end touches the clutch throw-
out shaft lever, it's time to replace the clutch disk assembly.
Trying to get more adjustment by cutting some off the rod will only make
big trouble out of little trouble.
HAS THE BUTCHER
STRUCK?? HERE'S HOW
YOU TELL: IF THE
THREADED END OF ROD
IS RAGGED OR RUSTY -
GET SUSPICIOUS!
REPACEMENT TIME
But, to be sure, measure the rod not by follow-
ing the curves, though. Measure in a straight line
- from the threaded end to the center of the holes
in the fixed yoke. Your rod must be 13 inches RIGHT WAY
right on the button. TO MEASURE
If your rod's shorter than 13 inches, get rid of LENGTH
it get a new one: Rod, control, w/yoke, assy,
FSN 2540-752-0977. It's in your TM 9-2320-209-
20P (Jan 65).
And keep a sharp eye out for the clutch-rod
butcher. "

PACKING You can have a leak unless
there's packing at both ends of the U-
hose. If it's not there, order it. When
installing, keep it flush.
HOSE ASSEMBLY (air cleaner to turbo-
charger) No leaks. If you think there
might be a leak, have your mechanic
give it the soapsuds test. If it has any CLAMPS- Present and tight. If you
holes, replace it. need one, order it.

After you're sure %our air intake s stem is OK. chtck our generator blower,
which can be another problem.
/ Hold a piece of cloth or paper in front of the air-intake screen the %aa it says
in your vehicle -10 TM. With the engine running the blower should suck the
material against the screen. If not, stop your engine and call your mechanic.
Make this test every time you start your engine.
This way you'll find out in time if the generator blower is not working and
you can save your generator from overheating and burning out.

TEST TO
SEE IF
THE BLOWER S
WORKING CONNECTOR DUCT
QIN PLACE?

It might be that the blower motor is working even when there's no suction on
the air-intake screen. This could happen if the mechanic forgot to reconnect the
flexible connector of the generator duct after a power pack was replaced.
With the duct not connected the blower will draw in dirt and dust. Then it'll
overheat and fail, and the generator will likely burn up too.
So, always test for suction on the generator air-intake screen and call for a
mechanic if it's not there. This could save your generator.
The engine should not be operated with any defective or improperly
mounted air intake parts.
The M60 tanks serial number 5 through 1249, should have the new genera-
tor air intake screen as outlined in MWO 9-2350-215-20/17.

S COUPOLA (XMZ6) THINGS
U -YOU SHOULD KNOW/

If you've got an M114A1 carrier (Serial 625 through 2519) with the XM26
cupola, burn spots on the brush holders and contact rings may be your hang-up.

Use a fresh, dry (no oil) rag and
clean the brushes real gentle like you
were dusting off a butterfly.

00 HOLDER

BRUSHES -
Move your rag the long way of the
RINGS brushes. If you scrub up and down the
little jokers will break for sure.
Check the circuit with a voltmeter like a real pro. Testing a circuit by any
other means can cause burns either on you or on the rings.
Water on terminal boards and contact brushes can cause electrical shorts
which can pit brushes, boards or both. Besides, water makes the wiring wear
out quicker.
So-o-o-o, no water-even low pressure water-for cleaning the electrical
gear.
Check on the alinement of board and brushes. If the brushes are not making
contact right, have your support fix 'em.
The screws that hold the terminal board to the support assembly might get
loose or slip. To make this less likely your support will apply sealant FSN 8030-
081-2335 to the screws when they are assembled or adjusted.

STAY CLEAR OF BRAND HEX CLEANERS FOR YOUR M16A1
YOU'D BETTER BELIEVE IT!

SBUPHIK CLEAR... WE KW
I l,, Uf? AUTHORIZED c

If it's not authorized, you just can't
be sure. Why risk your neck?
Right. When your TM says to use
bore cleaner or P-C-111B carbon re-
moving compound or SD dry cleaning
solvent you can bet your bottom piaster
it'll not only do the best job it'll do
it without hurting any part of your
weapon. Uncle has a lot of sharp sci-
entists working like ants to make sure
of this.

On t'other hand, if you use some off-
the-shelf unauthorized solutions, you
might get what looks like a good clean-
job, sure, but they might damage your
rifle. Like .. some of 'em contain in-
gredients that'll remove all lubricant
from the springs and detents. And these
springs and detents can't be lubed thor-
oughly without taking the rifle apart.
If you don't have time or authority to
do this welcome trouble.
Some of the other unauthorized solu-
tions contain chemicals that's damage
the aluminum and plastic parts of your
weapon. Bad.

So, stick to the tried and true au-
thorized stuff every time.
Here they are:

BORE CLEANER'S

US ZAPA1EN SHOULD

GENERAL PURPOSE
CLEANING!
Carbon Removing Compound, P.C-l11B-
FSN 6850-965-2332 ... 5-gal can.
You riflemen use this stuff for tough
carbon cases only under the guidance
of your armorer.
Dry Cleaning Solvent (SD) FSN 6850-281-
1985 ... 1-galcan.
This SD is strictly for you armorers.
Use it as a rinse after P-C-111B to pre-
pare metal surfaces prior to touch up.
Normally you'd use it only when the
MI6Al's completely disassembled. But
if you use it on an assembled rifle, be
mighty careful to keep this solvent away
from springs and detents.

Check the interlock spring by press-

If the spring won't make the interlock
snap back into its "hanging down" po-
sition, have your armorer get a new
spring.'

Likewise with the springs on the bar-
rel latch and the barrel latch lock if
they're missing or weak, tell your arm-
orer. If the barrel latch is working
right, you should hear a CLICK when
the latch snaps into the barrel groove.
(Don't be fooled by the bolt slamming
home, because it also makes a loud
CLICK.)

HEAR A
CLICK?

BARREL
LATCH -

So check the springs on the interlock.
the barrel latch and the barrel lock ..
and you'll hale no worries about the
barrel getting unlocked at the wrong
time.
ANOTHER CAUTION
The retaining pin can drop out and
get lost when you remove the barrel
group from the barrel extension. Hold
the bolt group upright and the pin
won't slip out.
If you lose this pin and put the gun
back together without it, the bolt block
can move too far forward on the bolt
slide. This will let the 2 cartridge case
retainer pins line up with the holes in
the bolt slide. One or both of these pins
might slip through the holes and jam
the gun so it'll stop firing.
If you've already lost your bolt re-
tainer pin, use your spare bolt and get
your armorer to order a retaining pin for
your old bolt. It's FSN 5315-591-2082.

If the barrel latch lock is working
right its spring will shove it into the
locked position when you let go of the
latch and lock and the barrel latch
snaps into the barrel groove.

INSURANCE

Hold one there, )ou M108 SP 105-
MM howitzer crewmen!
If you've been living out of Change 2
to LO 9-2350-217-12 (Nov 64) and got
the habit of leaving a coat of CR clean-
ing solvent compound on the breech
and firing mechanisms after daily firing
like it says on page 2, get ready to
switch.
CR is not repeat NOT a lube.
It offers no protection whatever for
bare metal, especially moving parts like
the cocking lever and such. Result:
Rust... corrosion... parts failure.

COCKING LEVER CAM PATH

So, from now on do it thisaway. After
daily firing, remove the breech com-
ponents and firing mechanisms, take
'em apart and clean every part that
comes into contact with powder gases
real good with CR. But don't stop there.
After the CR does its stuff, wipe the
parts real dry and then get this! -
put a light coat of PL general purpose
lube oil on all the surfaces, including
the cocking lever and including the cam
path in the breechblock and breechring.
Light coat: Soak a clean rag with PL,
wring it out good and then wipe the
parts.
O'course, when you don't expect to
fire daily, give your M108 the standard
3-day CR treatment, followed by coat-
ing with PL.
This poop is in the latest change to
the LO.

WHERE THE GG GOES
Dear Half-Mast,
WHAT PO LO 9-2350-208-12 (May 63) lists graphite grease
WHAT P on the M48A2C tank for use over 32 degrees but
dI doesn't show where. What's the scoop?
S WITH LT F. C. A.
SDear Lieutenant F. C. A.,
The graphite grease (GG) goes on the bore
Sevacuator threads of your M48-series tank or
. other weapon with a bore evacuator after
firing, quarterly, or at inspection time.
A big thing, though, is that you now use GG
when the temperature is above zero degrees and
GAA when it's below zero. The very latest LO's
tell about this.

Dear Sergeant H. R., L
Forget the colloidal graphite.
Seems the stuff can help bring on
corrosion.
YOU CAN USE
GAA GREASE...
Hold one, though. The grease is
not for using on the wing bolts. As
it says on page 156 of TM 9-1410-

a mixture of molybdenum disulfide

AND EVEN
/ Dear Half-Mast,
'... // I've been with a Hawk unit for a long
C) time and I've never been able to get an
answer to what seems like a simple ques-
Sc tion. That is, how many track pads are
there on each side of the loader-
transporter?
SFC J. B. NO MORE
ADJUSTMENTS
Dear Sergeant J. B., AFTER THIS
You can look through all the TM's you want to, but you
won't track down the answer to that one-at least notsin so .
many numbers. Here it is, tho: there're 43 on the right track
and 44 on the left track. Page195 of TM 9-1450-500-25P
(Aug 66) gives you a clue by saying there are 87 connecting
track links on the loader (43 + 44).
Vehicles with a torsion bar suspension system usually have
more track pads on one side than on the other.
When you're no longer able to adjust tension on the tracks, you might get
back some of the adjustment by reversing the sprockets. The driving face of
the sprockets can wear enough to put lots of slack in the tracks.
Same thing with end connectors. New ones might be the answer.
If reversing the sprockets and getting new end connectors won't do it, then
you want to get rid of all bum track blocks. Change 7 (Dec 67) to TM 9-2630-
200-14 tells you about track block wear limits. And don't be surprised if you
wind up needing enough blocks to give you a complete track-so you adjust
for the tension you need. H1L-ft

ON THE LEVEL
If you hear or see anything different from what the LO's say about checking
the transmission oil level for your Hawk XM501E2 or E3 loader-transporter,
CHECK TRANSMISSION WITH... don't you believe it.
As both LO 9-1450-500-12/1 (Jun
2 ~68) for the E2 and LO 9-1450-500-12/2
s 5 30- (Jun 68) for the E3 spell out, you check
35: the level with the engine idling and
the drive selector in neutral. The same
scoop's in TM 9-1450-500-10 (Jun 66)
tEGINE I 1 for the two vehicles.
IDLING ... IN NEUTRAL Any other way of doing it is wrong.

COOIT
COOL

You're right .. the scoop that tells you about taking care of the filters in the
liquid cooler for your Hawk AN/MPQ-35 is in TM 9-1430-502-12/3(Mar67).

3 with what it says on page 3-4 about re-
placing the two filters in the Eastern
Industries-made cooler every 500 hours
of operation-or cleaning the filter AF
housing and cartridge every 500 hours 500
of operation if your cooler was made by HOURS
Airesearch.
A clogged filter can give you the sort
of cooling troubles that mean burned-
out electron tubes and transformers. REPLACE THIS ONE... CLEAN THIS ONE!

Sure has been a heap of pump motor troubles with the
Eastern Industries liquid cooler used in your Hawk AN/
MPO-35 oulse acquisition radar. And there's a good

OUT A /
THE '&t\1

chance that it's a case of the OS-45 coolant getting by
the pump seal and washing the grease from the motor
bearing.
Try this: take the plug out of the bottom of the pump
seal housing on both pumps. That'll give the coolant a
way to get out. Hold on to the plug and put it back in if
you're going to ford.
Remember take out the bottom plug, not any of
the other three.

SFC F H li a
Dear Sergeant F. H..
Not on your life.
The inner tubes in the leveling support jacks are cadmium-plated. And while
this plating is gray and looks a mite like the start of corrosion, you want to
keep your distance with sandpaper or emery cloth.
The inner tube for the retractable support assembly is coated with phosphate,
which is also gray. It doesn't get sanded off, either.

LEVBJNG

If you have paint on any of the inner tubes, get it taken off with paint
remover.
Then put a light coat of oil on the tubes. Use Lubricating Oil, General Pur-
pose, Corrosion and Salt and Spray Resistant. It's listed on page 4.30 of Fed Cat
C9100-IL (Sep 67). You'll find that FSN 9150-231-2361 is worth a quart
and FSN 9150-231-2356 gets you 5 gallons.
If you want to put on a fresh coat of oil, first remove the old stuff with a solv-
ent that has a petroleum base. Dry cleaning solvent (SD) works fine.

PAINT O' DUCT'S BACK

Not on your life there's not supposed to be NO PAINT HERE, EITHER
any paint on the extension duct that's part of the'
missile-cooling duct on your Hawk launcher.
Instead of paint, which makes like insulation, .
you want the duct to be clean so you'll have a path
for electrical grounding between it and the outer
duct.
Things will be in good shape if nothing covers
the chromating on the extension duct. In other
words just keep it clean.

ELEMENT-ARY
Hold one... here's the latest scoop you want
to use along with LO 9-4935-500-12 (Nov 67)
on your Hawk AN/MSM-43 organizational
maintenance shop equipment.
Note 2 to the LO talks about replacing the
filters every so often. What you should do in-
stead is change filter elements. That means low-
pressure filter element, FSN 4935-959-1026,
gets replaced after 36 missiles, or after 3 months.
Missile pressure hose filter element, FSN 4935-
066-1643, gets changed after you've tested 72 IANGE
missiles, or after 6 months. I TE
No sweat with the high-pressure filter ele- ELE
ment, FSN 4935-761-8892, seeing's how note 2
tells you to replace it not the filter.
TM 9-4935-500-15P/1 (Oct 67) lists the ele- La
ments on page 17. One thing, though, the high-
and low-pressure elements are called filters in
the -15P/1 and the missile pressure hose filter
element is called element.

Maybe it's happened to you when you put the 14KV
power supply in the tactical control console for your
Hawk battery control central. That is, the mounting
terminal for the C5 capacitor gets clobbered by the head
of one of the TCC floor mounting bolts.
It's a good way to come acropper of electrical troubles
. .. and a busted mounting terminal.
So take it easy when you put in the power supply.
Also take the washer out from under the head of
the bolt and cover the head with some electrical in-
sulating tape. This moves the bolt head a little more out
of the way and cuts down on the chances of arcing.

Which -20P do you use when stocking

You use the TM 9-2300-223-20P, the
consolidated parts list for tank-automo-
tive equipment, unless you have received
a new parts manual with the PLA (pre-
scribed load allowance) list in it.
In that case, use that particular vehi-
cle's -20P PLA list for your MS, not the
