There's been a big squawk in a lotta outfits because so many men who don't know supply get assigned to repair parts supply jobs. Maybe you've been wondering why you've been having such a rough lime gelling repair parts to keep your equipment maintained. It could be just lhat ,a- said: No trained repair parts PLL supply man. The -olution to this problem could be right there in your own outfit, ,. or. at nmost, in the next company or battalion. S "Hozzat?" you say. S The A rmy has trained oodles of supply men. You can spot 'em bh a key number, 76, in their MOS. The ones you're most in- *\ lerested in are 76A and 76Y. Your unit's personnel clerk can spot any of these MOS C "l in a jiffy.

Make sure you have all the lools assigned to the vehicle and the operator's manual If the vehicle is required to have a fire extinguisher, make sure it's on hand, serviceable, and mounted correctly. Fill out top of DA Form 2404, but leave off the date and signature. DAMAGE: At the front of the vehicle, check these items for rq 9 damage: a. Fenders: Dents, splits, rust spots, missing or loose nuts and bolts? b. Grill: Breaks, missing or loose nuls and bolts? c. Radiator: Leaks? Bent or punctured tubes? Obstructions in the radiator core? d. Lights: Cracked lenses, loose mounting rims? All lights secure? e. Bumper: Dents, broken welds, loose or missing nuts and bolts7 Any spots need painting? f. Hood: Dents, cracks, miss- ing or loose bolts? Any spots re quire repair or paint? ' -r I NA5TY LEAK YA GOT THERE. FRED OIL AND WATER LEVELS: Oil level at the FULL mark? Not over- full? Water in radiator cover the end of tubes? Cracked, loose, or broken water hoses? Loose parts? Broken or leaking fuel or oil lines? Antifreeze recorded on monthly DA Form 2408-1? (For multifuel engine oil check procedure, see PS 205, Page 54, or TB 750-981-3 (Jul 69), Article 3-8.) Right Side, DAMAGE: Inspect the right side of your vehicle for any damage Which might have occurred after the vehicle was parked the night before. This should include such items as broken windows, dents, scratches, etc. GAS CAP: Check for bad gasket. SRear h DAMAGE: Look gate, rear lights, hitch connections. I THINK SHE'S ONE STUCK PINTLE! for any damage to tail- trailer connections, tow I CONNECTOR \* g (j CORRODED AIR HOSE CONNECTIONS: Check for any damage to connections, and see that dummy couplings are in place. If the vehicle is con- nected to a trailer, make sure all lines are connected right. L: left Side 5 (Same. Right Sidel 4' Inside Calb BRAKE PEDAL. Depress the brake pedal and hold down. The brake pedal should not creep down. If a loss of foot pressure is noted.there's a leak in the system and it must be corrected soon- est. Make sure there's plenty of space between the bottom of the brake pedal and the floorboard when pedal is de- pressed. If the space is less than 2 pedal travel, the brakes should be G IT checked and adjusted. ADJUSTED I CLUTCH PEDAL ADJUSTMENT: See S /4 -if there is enough free travel. Free pedal travel is the movement of the clutch pedal downward before pressure in- -creases and the clutch starts to disenc gage. All clutch adjustment checks are extremely sensitive and should be made DOES YOUR FREE TRAVEL by depressing the clutch pedal by hand, AGREE WITH THIS TABLE not with the feet. UNUSUAL NOISES: Run engine at a fast idle (do not "race" or "gun" engine) and check under the hood of vehicle. If you hear any unusual noises, turn off the engine immediately, and call your supervisor. If oil gage does not indicate pressure within a few seconds, stop the engine, and call your supervisor. ENGINE CONTROLS: Check engine controls, including the accelerator, throttle, and choke, to see that they are functioning properly. I INSTRUMENT CHECK: r, After the engine has been warmed up by idling for ap- proximately 3 minutes, the instruments may be check- ed as follows: a. Oil Pressure: Oil pressure-when engine is idling-should register not less than 15 pounds. Pressure indicates engine oil pump is working. But, remember, oil pressure does not mean the crankcase is full! Pressure readings may go up or down as engine speed is increased or decreased, but a sudden drop or uneven change of pressure indicates trouble. Stop the engine and find out what's causing it. b. Battery-Generator Indicator: With switch ON (engine not running), needle-should register 2/3 up in the yellow panel; with engine running at high idle (about 1,500 RPM), needle should register 2/3 up in the green panel (at the nub). e. Air Brake Pressure (if applicable): c. Tachometer: Tachometer should This gage should indicate the pressure be registering the RPM of the engine. at which the brakes will operate effec- tively. (100 to 105 PSI for 2/2 and 5 ton trucks.) 0 d. Fuel Gage: Fuel gage should reg- ister full if the previous operator did his f. Temperature Gage: Normal range last after operation check. is from 160 to 180 degrees. 7 *MR RFETY DEVICES: HOLD THE WATER, MAN, IT'S JUST A SAFETY BUZZER. (^----^|- a Air Pressure Warning Buzzer: This buzzer is a low pressure warning device and will buzz until your operating pressure reaches 65 PSI. Do not move your ve- hicle until you have operating pressure, and the warning buzzer has stopped. b. Lights: Make sure they're all burn- ing, both high and low beam, and that tail and stoO lights are ooeratine. d. Windshield Wipers: Make sure blades are in good condition and wipers nneratp DUMP HOIST (if applicable): Raise and lower the dump body to make sure it will operate. Check for leaks. c. Mirrors: Make sure the mirrors are not damaged. Adjust for driving. e. Horn: Make sure it blows. %MI * ACCIDENT REPORT AND IDENTIFICA-. TION FORMS: Make sure you have Ac- cident Report and Identification Forms in the glove compartment (Std Form 91 and DD Form 518). SURE I KNOW WHERE THE ACCIDENT REPORT FORM 151 It's THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT I CAN'T FIND!! BRAKE ADJUSTMENTS: Make sure all wheels are braking equally. Notice any loss of pressure in the pedal when you apply the brakes. STEERING: Be sure there's not too much free play in your steering wheel. Notice any hard steering, wheel wobble, or wandering of your vehicle from side to side. If you think something is wrong,stop and check. .-: i. ..- .... ... ...... . UNUSUAL NOISES: Keep a sharp ear for any unusual noises in the engine, clutch, transmission, transfer case, drive shaft and rear end. An unusual noise is any noise you do not normally hear during operation. CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT: There should be no slipping or chatter when it starts to en- gage. Be sure you do not "ride" the clutch. (Keep your foot off that pedal!.) ENGINE OPERATION: Be sure your engine operates smoothly at all times. Listen for any knocks (valve knock or gas knock). Make sure your engine is hitting on all cylinders and is getting gas prop- erly. Report any malfunction. INSTRUMENTS: Instrument check should be continuous through the day. A casual glance at the dashboard will tell you when your vehicle is operating properly. Instruments to check include oil pressure, bat-gen, tachometer, fuel, air pressure, temperature and speedometer gages. At Halt ( MAKE HALT CHECK 1 ' EACH TIME YOU VEHICLE FOR - \ 10 MINUTES ) "- OR MORE. LEAKS: Make a quick turn around with the truck, checking on the ground under the vehicle for any excessive leaks. Take a quick look under the hood for any gas, oil, or water ;eaks. LOOSE NUTS AND BOLTS: Look under carriage and body mountings for loose or missing nuts and bolts. .-.- AFTER 0 START THE ENGINE: Listen for any unusual noises you may have not no- ticed during operation. Look at the fol- lowing safety devices with the engine running: a. Air Pressure Warning Buzzer: Make sure the air pressure warning buzzer is operating and cuts out at cor rect pressure Do this by bleeding down the air pressure to below 65 PSI. I fc TIRES AND WHEELS: Check your dual tires by striking with a lug wrench to be sure they are inflated. Check all wheel lug nuts; make sure they're in place and tight. Remove any rocks you find between dual tires. OPERATION OIL, WATER AND FUEL: At your last halt of the day, and before parking your truck for the night, check and refill to proper level: Crankcase with Oil, Radi- ator with Water, and Fuel Tank with Fuel. Record fuel and oil on the trip ticket. (DA Form 2408-1). OOO- EEI-Oo-AH-AH STING TANG WALLA WALLA BING BAN& b. Mirrors: Not broken or loose Ad- jusled for rear-view vision. c. Lights: Make sure all lights are in operating condition (check high and low beams), including the tail and stop lights, particularly if the vehicle is to be used that night. d. Windshield Wipers: Make sure they operate and rubber on the blades is not damaged. e. Horn: Make sure it blows! *s Under Hlooder: WITH THE ENGINE IDLING, lift the hood and eyeball the following items: a. Leaks: Look around the valve cover (on top of the engine for valve-in- head, and side for L-Heads), around the oil filters or lines, and the fuel system. b. Loose Items to Look Check exhaust and intake manifolds For: Vibration in the gener- for cracks or escaping gas. Same for the ator, water pump, fan, and cylinder head gasket, to make sure air cleaner; any loose wir- there is no escaping power. Inspect radi- ing or mountings. ator for leaks in the tank, core or con- ing or mountngsnecting hoses. Watch that fan, and keep your fingers attached to your hands. 11 -- LEAKS: Excessive leaks on the ground and underside of vehicle. mDAMAGE: Dents and scratches (bare metal spots that need painting). j.TIRES AND WHEELS: Make sure tires are correctly inflated by looking at single tires and hitting duals with a lug wrench. Make sure all wheel lug nuts are in place and tight. ft T LOOKEi; OK BEFORE I SUT TWE AIJ SIN IT. SPRINGS, SHOCKS, AND TORQUE RODS: Inspect springs for broken leaves and secure mountings. Make sure shock absorbers are mounted properly. Look at torque rod ends for wear and make sure they're secure.

This's for proper break-in of drive line components and service brakes. Whether new or already broken in, never torture your quarter-tonner with: SPEED TOO HIGH FOR SKIPPING GEARS WHEN SHIFTING THE GEAR POSITION .0 DRAG STRIP TAKEOFFS USING THE ENGINE ALONE TO BRAKE-DOWN -f" .L GUNGUN FROM HIGH SPEED SUDDEN OR FORCED ENGAGEMENT OF OPERATING CONTROLS M113/MII3AI WEIGHT CLASS Confused about the weight classification for M113/M113A1 vehicles, includ- ing the M577A1? It's 11... like FM 5-36 (May 65) says in Ch 1 (Apr 66), Table IV-1, page AIV-9. TM 9-2300-257-10 will get this new word. $g SWITCHING' TIME There's a new starter switch for G744-series 5-ton diesel and multifue trucks and for those G742-series 2-1/2-ton multifuel trucks with the LD 465-1 engine (M35A2 etc.). Ask for Switch, starter, FSN 2920-133-9629 the next time you order one. It replaces Switch, FSN 2920-781-1953. Have you got the new vertical exhaust stack on your M52A1 truck tractor (or other straight diesel 5-tonner)? The exhaust pipe-to-turbocharger clamp assembly is FSN 2990-972-2605 -same as used on the older exhaust system-listed in TM 9-2320-211-20P w/Ch 1 and Ch 2 (Apr 67). LAYOFF FILTER WRENCH H1 So you got a little leak around the outlet opening on the primary fuel filter head of your M60A1 tank ... or maybe it's on your M60, M48A3 or M103A2 tank or AVBL or M728 CEV. The thing not to do is try to stop the leak by tightening up real hard on the tapered pipe reducer FSN 4730-542- 3253. What'll happen, you're sure to crack the filter head. Then you've got real trouble. The way to stop the leak is with a little thread and gasket sealing com- R HEAD AZARD. pound FSN 8030-656-1426. Put it on the threads of the pipe reducer and fuel line and then carefully tighten the con- nection to anything between 250-280 lb-in torque. I 7 W---Z-1 I 00 NOT OVERTIGHTEN REDUER M17C RANGE FINDER REMINDER Here's a reminder on that M17C range finder in your M60/M60A1 tank: Keep your cotton-pickin' hands off the ICS and halving knobs unless you know what you're doing. The dope on using 'em right is on page 2-85 of Ch 8, (Sep 69) of your TM 9- 2350-215-10. For routine range finder operation leave the red covers in place, or you'll get your coincidence reticle out of whack. 17 1*_ FILTER UNITS a FOR CV'S If your requests for gas particulate filter units for your combat vehicles have been bouncing back, here's why- Filter units for CV's are now called installed equipment. The units will eventually be pulled out of your TOE and added to the vehicle's BIIL's. CV's can get filter units in 1 of 3 ways: 1. Installed by MWO at support level 2. Installed by the manufacturer 3. Installed by depot Even though your vehicle's TM may already cover PM SOP on a filter unit (like Ch 10, TM 9-2300-224-20, for example), filter units have been OK'd for the fol- lowing vehicles only. M48A2 and M48A2C tanks M8A2 or M8A3 9-2350-208-30/4 The M551 Sheridan gets the M8A3 filter unit, and the M728 combat engineer vehicle gets the M13A1 filter unit. Both are installed by the manufacturer. Other CV's will get their filter units installed as their MWO's are published. So keep an eye out for the filter unit OK for your combat vehicles. If your equip- ment is already authorized a filter unit, and the MWO hasn't been completed, give your support outfit a DA Form 2407 work request. Make a note somewhere handy-a request for a filter unit must provide ex- ception data. In addition to identifying the MWO, the DA Form 2765-1 must also 18 list the nomenclature, model and manufacturer's serial number (not the USA number) for the vehicle concerned. Remember, once installed the filter unit stays with the vehicle all the way back to rebuild. THE MASKS On your requests for masks to go with the filter units installed in your CV's, you must provide exception data as to the vehicle's model number and the type of radio it uses (FM or AM). The M25 and M25AI tank masks are for The M14A1 or M14A2 tank masks work use with FM radio sets. with the AM sets. The M14A2 mask, however, can be used with the FM radios when its mike is changed like it says in Ch 2, TM 3-4240-223-15, para 38.1. After the mike swap it becomes an M25 mask. TANK WHEEL TORQUE Without wheels your track vehicle won't roll. So why is that news? Because roadwheels and compensat- ing idler wheels for some tracks are in real short supply. So what can you do about it? You can get the longest possible life our of your roadwheels and compensat- ing idlers by making sure all wheel re- taining nuts are torqued as tight as the TM's say. TORQUE M48 M48I ad 48,I aks- 80t 420 poun fee toqeo he e ini nuts.. RIGHT Besides keeping your wheel retaining nuts right you can help the supply prob- lem by being a wheeler dealer and turn- ing in to supply all unserviceable- repairable wheels on the shortage list for depot rebuild. 19 105-MM I HOWITZERSc17 C:ZI: You can ram yourself into the next world with the wrong rammer-extractor for your 105-MM howitzer. It's easy enough to do because at least 6 different wrong models (some of them very dangerous) are now in the field. With the wrong rammer a tip of the ramming plate can set off the primer. So, check all the rammers in your outfit and if you've got any that don't shape up, ship 'em out. Here's how you check: EXTRACOR Look for the part number (on the extractor). 61/2" R TR Exroaor 1i/2" Howitzer Model Pert Number FULCRUM M101 or MIOAI 7306159 RAMMING M102orM108 11577644 PLATESM101 OR M1A Any rammer that can't pass the part number test should be taken out of service, but even if the part number is right the rammer could still be wrong. Seems 2 or 3 different models were issued under the same part number. So check both the fulcrum length and the distance between the ramming plates. You have the right rammer only if everything matches up like this . Minimum distance between Howitzer Model Panrl umber Fulcrum Length ramming plates M101 orMIO1AI 7306159 6h/ inches 1/2i inches M102 or M108 11577644 6% inches I1/z inches 20 ...-- Even with the right rammer you'ree still not home free and clear. If it's burred, bent out of shape or banged up it's dangerous. so turn it in for a new one. Here're the FSN's and authority for the rammers: M101 or MIO1Al (FSN 4933-730-6159) ..... Ch 5 to TM 9-325 MI02 (FSN 4933-927-7277) TM 9-1015.234-12 M108 IFSN 4933-927-7277) ..... .............. Ch 4 to TM 9-2350217-10 So now you have the right rammer, and it's in good condition. You could still blow things up by using it upside down. It's easy to figure out which is upside down and which is right side up. Just put the rammer tool into the breech recess so the rounded edges of the ramming plates will make contact with the cartridge case. This will happen with the MI101 and M 101A 1 if you put the fulcrum into the breechblock guides in the breech ring with the tips of the extractor pointing to the right. With the I102 or M108 you position the tool so the extractor tips are pointing straight down- wards. RIGHT FOR MOI DOWN FOR AND MIOIAl M102 AND MIO8 The fulcrum should slide freely in the guides. If you put it in right but it fits so loosely it could tip in the guides it is too worn or damaged to use-so get a new one. You don't need to use a lot of muscle. If you can't seat the cartridge easily, take it out and put in a new one. 21 i[--M ORE IL"~'".P.~~~'~.~rr'3~"L~EE~rPi~a Suppose you need a rammer but you turned in your old one and you don't have the new one yet... What to do? You can sometimes seat a round that won't chamber when you first load it by using the open end of a fired cartridge case as a rammer. E-A-S-Y DOES IT I- To get out an unfired round stuck in the chamber, use the bell rammer on the end of the sectional cleaning staff, and gently poke it out. If the round has been fired, poke out the empty cartridge with the cleaning staff without the bell rammer on the end. These are field expedients to be used only until you get the right rammer- extractor. CARRIAGE, BREECH OR CONTROL? Dear Half-Mast, Some towed howitzers like the M0IAI - have serial numbers on the breechblock and the carriage but none that apply to the complete weapon. SO WHAT NUMBER DO WE USE ON LOG RECORDS OR -CPT.J.Z. Jr. Dear Captain J. Z., For the M 101A1 and other howitzers that don't .. ......,. have serial numbers for the complete weapon, use their carriage serial numbers. 2 The rule in TM 38-750 on use of DA Form 2408-8 control numbers doesn't apply to these howitzers. AXY14^ 22 175-MM GUNNERS... AUTOFRETTAGE TUBES ARE COMING WOT KINDA TUBE- LIFE YOU GET ON THAT PIECE? A new M113E1 autofrettage tube for your M107 175-MM SP gun is the latest round of good news to zero in on gunnery circles these days. This El model will almost double interim tube life by letting you reach 700 effective full-charge rounds between trade-ins... compared to 400 EFC rounds on the current M113 tube. So, you don't have to ask for tube changes as often. You'll only be able to tell the differ- ence by the bell shaped muzzle on the autofrettage tube. But your supply man will know the difference by its FSN: 1025-113-5636 for the complete can- non, including all breech components M113 M113E1 ... FSN 1025-113-5637 for the tube 400 EFC 700 EFC only.

Using other than authorized 40-MM cartridges in the M79 could damage both you and the launcher. 23 T~ Sna11 EZSrmls 'l"'col =Eit S01\T Now you see it-now you don't. So you're wondering what's happened to that armorer's tool kit.

When equipment, components and parts are on shipping orders and under wraps, each item's got to be identified-no buts about it. At every check-point in transit somebody needs to know "What goes there?" So ... mark it before you move it. Supplies move smoothly-up front and back to repair or storage depots- only if they're easy to identify. Even eyeball-to-lockpin or keyway, some items are hard to recognize. When boxed or inside other containers, they've got to be marked with: I " 1EN 2530-705-8039 10EgI. PLATE EA Mark this info- in 1-2-3 order-on all shipping-out containers, using either a - Stencil (on containers such as metal, wood and cardboard boxes and cartons). Tag (on bags, bales, bundles or other con- tainers where labels and stencils are hard to apply), or Label (on containers like cartons and fiber or plastic wrappers). 1 / / ^^iSSI WHAT TO MARK Identification markings are needed on: I. All bags, cartons and 2. All shipping containers (fiberboard, wood packing envelopes or sacks and re-usable metal) -except CONEX, MIL- that go inside shipping VAN and SEAVAN. No outside identification containers, is needed on CONEX, MILVAN and SEAVAN s containers-just on the items you put in 'em. 3. All unpacked items-except vehicles and other major items that can be readily identified by data plates. STENCIL LABEL OR TAG Use the stencil, label or tag that best fits the container, sticks m it and shows the identity of the item as it moves. r __________________________________________ STENCIL with black ink, applied by spra), roller or brush. For slick surfaces like metal or glass, the ink is FSN 75 10- 191-6030. For porous or grainy sur- faces like wood or fiberboard, use FSN '510-161-0811. For items shipped unboxed or un- crated, stencil directly on the item. Use gasoline soluble paint, FSN 8010-59"- 8235 (black) or FSN 8010-597-8238 (white). LABEL with any type of paper label, using one of these 2 adhesives: FSN 8040-053-8452 or FSN 8040-656-0814. If the label goes on a package placed inside another container, it needs ad- hesive onl on the underside. On the other hand, if a label's applied to an outside container adhesive must be used to stick the label to the package and coated over the outside of the label to protect it from the weather. TAG the item if neither a stencil nor a label ill do the trick. Use tag. FSN 8135-238-691", and attach it to thecon- tainer nith the wire that comes with the tag. READY! AIM! MARK! NEVER EVEr, Before you make any new marks on OPENED, SARGE. a container, make sure it's ready for marking. First, check the old markings-if any. If an item is still packed in the con- tainer it came in, you may not need to re-pack and re-mark. But be sure this is so. 39 If you're re-packing items in an old I'M PUTTING container, be wary. They may have the 7HE ADDRESS same name but a different FSN. HERE When the old container has any IT markings that don't apply, paint 'em out. Use lusterless lacquer, FSN 8010- 527-3196 or lusterless enamel, FSN 8010-291-0889. And make sure any surface to be ' marked has no dirt, oil or grease. . You're ready to mark-but where? There's no fixed rule, but it's best to put the identity on one side, the address THE STENCIL ontheother. IGOES HERE, Markings are better protected on the sides than on bottom or top. MISCELLANEOUS MARKING Miscellaneous unpacked items like rods, coils and reels may need a special r RODS word. If there's a suitable spot, stencil tion on 2 plain tags. And put the ship- o ping address on a third tag (DD Form 1387-1) or label (DD Form 1387). REELS These 2 items-tag and label-are WRAPPED ROLL specially made for military shipments.

Or you can boards also can provide space for the use a plain tag attached to an ear for shipping address. identification. You only need to stencil or tag-not both. J -45 PALLEHZED LOADS Palletized loads made up of a num- ber of items get special treatment. Each individual container on the pallet gets its own identification label-plus ad- dress labels for the pallet. It's OK to mix FSN's in a shipping container-if it's properly packed and marked. If available, 3 copies of DD Form 1348-1 should be attached to each sepa- rate item or container inside the ship- ping box. Also, each inside item or con- tainer should be identified. Outside, 1 copy of the DD 1348-1 for each item should be placed in a packing list envelope, FSN 8105-290-4365, and attached to the outside container with a protective cover, FSN 8105-926-2260. Then the outside container gets marked "CONSOLIDATED PACK" - instead of the usual individual item identification. INDIVIDUAL LBBS ON EACH SCONTAINE... .AND OVERAlL LABEL ON THE PALLET If it's a box-type pallet, with individ- ual containers not visible, identify the group of items with total number on the outside box.

BARRBS, TOO Barrels, drums and pails also get maL~rked ( akd) dd agree with the cont RETROGRAD cents. E ADDRESS Before you attach an address label or tag to cargo going back to "The World," make sure it's completely filled in. All the necessary info should be available-most of it in the message, letter or other directive that told you to move the cargo. To guard against weather damage- and smudge or rub out of the informa- tion-overcoat the filled in label (DD 1387) or tag (DD 1387-1) with BEFORE YOU SHIP Check each outgoing container to make sure: All old markings that don't apply are painted out. New markings match the contents in FSN, name and quantity. Markings (or packing lists) identify contents without need to open the container. MARKING S Here's a list of needed marking materials: Lusterless lacquer (sand-color), FSN 8010- 527-3196 (1 Gal). Lusterless enamel (sand yellow), FSN 8010- 291-0889 (5 Gal). Stencil ink, black, FSN 7510-191-6030 (1 Gal). Stencil ink, black, FSN 7510-161-0811 (1 Gal). Gasoline soluble paint, black, FSN 8010- 597-8235 (1 Gal). Address tells who sent it, who gets it and any necessary intermediate de- livery points. MATERIALS Gasoline soluble paint, white, FSN 8010- 597-8238 (1 Gal). Label adhesive, FSN 8040-053-8452, FSN 8040-656-0814, or FSN 8040-664-7073(1 Gal). Tags, shipping and stock, FSN 8135-238- 6917 (1000). Packing list envelope, FSN 8105-290-4365 (100). Protector, packing list, FSN 8105-926-2260 (100). If you're too far in-country to find these items in supply, with a retrograde date com- ing up too fast to let you requisition 'em, you can use substitutes. ACCEPT THESE SUBSTITUTES Paint (any thar contrasts with the iga j/ container or item) for identification marking. Pelt tip pens and grease pen- - cils also may be used. Clear (see-through) envelopes may be used as covers for identification markings and address-when attached to container. f0 Clear pressure-sensitive tape (non- plaid, that is) is a substitute for adhesive when attaching labels. White or solid color tapes also can provide a place for identification markings with felt tip pen or grease pencil. Plain white paper can sub for DD 1348-1 when making packing lists for a "Consolidated Pack." But make sure the identification info is complete. Pen or pencil can be used to mark labels if protected by clear pressure- sensitive rape when no other adhesive is used. (Liquid adhesive might smear 'em.) Staples and tacks may be used to at- tach labels or tags to containers-in- stead of adhesive. When no stencil brush or roller can be had, a paint brush or wad of cloth dipped in stencil ink or paint can be used for stenciling. Keep in mind, though, that these make-do substitutes are subs-not to be used when first-choice items are handy or can be ordered in time. Keep in mind, too, that the markings covered up to now are minimum mark- ings. Some items also may require special-handling marks or precautions, including identification of dangerous materiel (like explosives) or sensitive and security-type equipment. If you need a full check-out on these, get your mitts on MIL-STD-129, Mark- ing for Shipment and Storage. The job's better than half done, though, when you can tell at a glance what's inside a carton (by FSN, name and amount) and where it's going.

Borescope HI, M2 SOME HELPFUL HINTS \ It's wise to start at the top of the blank space when you're adding those items because some are 2 lines long. Once you get your forms up to date it's easier to add those write-in items as they come in or at least keep one master copy of all forms up to date. Pencil the dates after the DA Form numbers on page 37 of your DA Pamphlet 310-10 (Feb 69). It's easy to erase and add new dates as the old forms are made obsolete. When you receive your write-in notices from the Publications Center, make sure you send them back within the time limit specified on the form. Some outfits are making a sloppy "serial stew" out of their equipment records. They fail to cross-check serial numbers with equipment data plates and block 4 of DA 2408-8. It makes a mish-mash of all their records. If the form is one like DA 2408-7 and covers an end item, THE SE the serial number needed is the NUMBERS om number for the end item-not T E one of its components. DATA PLATES AND THE When the form is one like 24 DA 2410 and covers only a MUST component, use only the com- y AGREE. ponent serial number. (Some common end items don't have serial numbers.

SKIN DECON PAD Yep. The skin wiping pad in your M13 decontaminating and reimpregnating kit, FSN 4230-907-4828, should fit over three fat, gloved fingers-like it shows in fig 6, TB 3-4230-207-10 (Mar 66). But, if the pad in your M13 kit circles only two fingers, don't bust it trying for a 3-finger loop...you've got a short pad. But, it's OK. Just use your pad like it says in the TB. Later kits will provide 3- finger pads.

AIR MOBILITY YOUR BABY kw" - ;r'''f!- When your Huey or HueyCobra is running a high exhaust gas tempera- ture, has a skewered up air flow with bleed band popping and is generally under par she needs prescription Rx P- D-680, Type I. Yessir-e-e-e, a dose of dry cleaning solvent followed by a water rinse is the preferred way to clean the innards of your engine to prolong its life. One or two cleaning are guaranteed to get rid of dirt that coats the stator and CLEAN COMPRESSOR BLADES SPRAY WITH n THIS Use one of these cleaners: Drydeaning Solvent, PD 680, Type FSN 6850-285-8012 55-gal drunk SWalnut shells, MIL-G-5634 FSN 5350-050-1094 50-lb bag ""'W j--^. ~^^- The engine should be cold and the bird parked in a maintenance area where you can get water. OPEN 'ER UP I m GATHER MATERIALS Here's how to go about cleaning the T53-L-11 engine- First off, latch on to a quart of dry cleaning solvent. If you're lucky enough to have air pressure handy pour the solvent into the pneumatic oil gun which is part of the organizational maintenance A, B, or C tool kit. Out in the dusty boonies get a hand- pumped water fire extinguisher. Make sure it's empty and clean. Pour the sol- vent into the extinguisher so you'll be able to spray 1 quart. With your trusty general mechanic's tool kit in hand, make for the bird. Take a couple of helpers with you. r compressor blades and to restore lost engine power. Before you crewchiefs and mechanics reach for the solvent, tho, be sure you stash pencils, pens, matches, watches--any loose items. You're going to motor over and run the engine, and the suction developed will snatch dropped items. You know what that means ... FOD for real! 52 I \~y L-~'-SC~~ .-.' C. 1 No shortcuts here, please! Like never try to dean the engine by spraying the engine with the separator on. If you do, you'll wash the dirt in the separator right into the engine (ughl). Next, take the inlet air temperature sensing element off the inlet housing by removing the four retaining bolts. You do this to keep the element from getting plugged with dirt loosened dunng the deoning chore. ffat_ AifiW Disconnect the pressure line from the air- bleed actuator so the line won't get plugged with loosened dirt. Put on AN929-6 cap on the fitting. ) Have your buddy motor over the en- 1 gine with the starter. Spray the quart of the dry cleaning solvent evenly thru all sections of the inlet. Be sure both sides of the inlet SPRAY IN A OUART OF DRY (LEANING guide vanes are covered with the SOLVENTY solvent. When the solvent is used up stop motoring the engine and let it set for an hour or so to allow the solvent to soften and loosen the caked-on dirt. The dirt really builds up on inlet guide vanes, so go over them with a small, round, fiber brush with a long handle when you return from your break. SPRAY WITH WATER Have your favorite throttle jockey start the engine and run it at flight idle. To get rid of the dirt loosened by the dry cleaning solvent, spray clean, fresh water evenly into all sections of the inlet housing at a rate of 2 gallons per minute for about 2 minutes. After the water treatment run the engine from 2 to 5 minutes to dry it out. Shut down the engine. Eye the inlet guide vanes and compressor for cleanliness. If the engine is still dirty, a second cleaning should do the trick. Clean the air temperature sensing element with dry cleaning solvent and put it back on the inlet housing. Secure the nuts and lockwire the mounting bolts. connect the pressure line at the air-bleed actuator. Put the separator and screen filters back. Close the cowlings, and your bird's LATCH SEPARATOR ready to take to the wild blue with new SECURELY pep, vim and vigor. IT'S W A' TVAT C I 9T The view from the front reveals more than the view from the back. The old tail rotor crosshead bearings in your Huey and HueyCobra are no exception. The front side shows more of the ball bearings than the back side. If you don't know which is which the 2 bearings can be put together bas- ackwards. Put in that way you have maybe an hour or less flying time before the bearing set fails, followed by the tail rotor. The bird organizational maintenance pub tells you to put the bearings to- gether back-to-back, see? As an additional guide the bearings are etched to form a "V" when they're back-to-back. A look at the part num- bers will also clue you which bearing set is being used. If you're lucky enough to have the new crosshead bearing, P/N 204-011- 769-1, FSN 3110-135-0563, there's no chance of a mixup. This baby has a double row, inner PUT THE BEARINGS IN BACK TO BACK FRONT BACK race with a single outer race. Both sides are the same so there's no front and back... no "V" etch needed.

SP6 R. McC. Dear Specialist R. McC., There're no limits because you're not allowed any play. You'll still get some slight move- ment, however, when you plant your mitts on the link during a looseness check ... no sweat! 'Course, if the bearing is worn from lack of lubrication or contamination you'll have a very loose link on your hands. Para 25 of TM 55-405-3 (12 Jul 661 lists "excessive looseness" as one of the conditions which call for a bearing change. .. rHo ABOUT .

SAFETY'S THE END ITEM COMMUNICATIONS A tied-down radio antenna can meet the official requirements, pass every test, but still- Still, it can play a part in some entirely unexpected accidents, like maybe the antenna tip in a Joe's face, or eyeball. Man doesn't have to be a brain-trust to figure out that accidental sort of an- tenna-tipping won't be doin' anybody's eyeball or face any good. So it takes a little something' to make that tied-down antenna safer. UI YOUR Like a rubber ball, or a plastic ball. Yp Or a plastic cushion you can build for TAPE A BAll ON I... yourself, right on the antenna. If you use a ball, you'll have to scrounge one up yourself. But you can go after a 30-foot roll of ... OR CUSHION polyethylene electrical insulation tape WITH TAPE with FSN 5970-240-0620. It's listed on Pg 3.44 of Fed Cat C5970-IL-A (Nov 69). Just wrap the tape around the an- tenna tip, stretching the tape as you go. Keep this up until you get a comfy cushion of the soft stuff. If you use the rubber-ball method, you could wrap tape around the ball and anchor the ball with the tape a little below its bottom. The extra protection should whittle down the chances of some unhappy Joe getting his eyeball skewered by a stray antenna tip-and it won't interfere with the performance of your antenna. Further along the sunny side, if you're using the MS-118A mast section you're in luck. You can request an antenna tip assembly (FSN 5985-930-7223) for the MS-118A. It's listed on Pg 74, Fed Cat C5985-IL-A (Nov 69). And for bright times in the future, there's a plan in the mill to authorize pro- tective antenna tip assemblies for the AT-1095/VRC antenna element. Meanwhile, you can use a ball, insulating tape, fishing corks, bottle stoppers, styrofoam and other non-conductive items, as field expedients. 58 Insects ? They can mean bad times sometimes-especially when they zoom around an AN/TVS-3 searchlight set and end up in the fan motor. They can clog the exhaust blower filter and the heat exchanger cooling fins. That can knock out your search- light pronto. What's the answer-- ? TM 11-6230-220-12 (Dec 67) gives you the word on daily cleaning of the exhaust blower filter and heat ex- changer cooling fins. Eyeball Para 4-4 for instructions on blower filter PM, Paras 4-4 and 4-6 for info on exchanger cooling fins, and Para 5-3 for servicing the exchanger.

SUPPORTS 4 FUSE NEWS REPl WIfl SAME ME LA a :W Don't sweat it if the replacement fuse you asked for comes through with a higher voltage rating than what you wanted. Use it. The thing you gotta be sure of is that the amperage rating is what your TM calls for and the voltage rating is the same or higher. Like, if you need a 5- amp job and you get a 10-amp replace- ment, send it back. The amp rating can't vary; neither can the blow time. You need a slo-blo for a slo-blo, etc. Naturally, any replacement you get has gotta be the same shape and size as the one's it's replacing. But like we said, voltage variance is allowable providing it varies up- wards.

Thing is, whenever you remove any part either for repair or exploratory reasons and end up sending your equipment to support, one rule holds: Send along any gaskets, screws, nuts, bolts, etc. that were removed' from the equipment. Put 'em in an envelope, tie 'em on, tape 'em on-any way to make sure they make it to the support shop to- gether with the end item. That way, support won't be in the predicament of repairing the equip- ment's known miseries, then running into a situation where a piece of missing hardware costs a lot of extra downtime. Sometimes, there might not even be a stock number available for the piece that's missing from the equipment. ,HOW ABOUT THIS WASHER? - This could mean a few complications and holdups, like higher-level fabrica- tion, for example. THIS COULD LEAD TO A LONG WAIT WHILE REMOVE PARTS ARE REQUISITIONED! A copyholder, f'rinstance, for your teletypewriter can't be ordered as an as- sembly because it has no overall stock number. It's gotta be broken down and ordered by its individual parts. Takes time. So, you'd definitely in- clude any removed copyholder with the teletypewriter you send to support. Make it a special point to send sup- port all the parts you have-even if they seem bad. In some cases they may be usable. 'Course, small parts do sometimes get lost in the field or on maneuvers, and there's not much you can do about that except be careful. But when it comes to hangin' onto regular removed parts, and sending' 'em to support along with your end equip- menr. that's where you can be real careful. A nd that's where it counts. NO PLIERS, P1 Pliers... ? They're strictly taboo on nickel-cadmium batteries. Never use 'cm. Tightening those.metal plier jaws on the cell filler vent caps could cause the caps to crack.
