Ay,
There's the Rub!
Dear Editor,
We've come up with a fix to
stop wear and tear of the new
cab coVer on our dump truck.
Like it says on the AMDF,
we get cab coVer assembly,
NSN
as a
Rplacement for the
-20P
listed
coVer, NSN
2±40-00-737-2723.
NSN
2540-01-²55-0104
is for
the coVer alone.
HoweVer,
when installed,
the coVer rubs against the
truck's safety shield or cab
protector and gets wo± out²
To elIminate this rubbing
problem, we reVe³ed the can-
Vas
support bow rods with
the high pa´ of the bow toward the front of the truck.
µhis lowers the cab coVer enough so it doesn't touch the
shiel¶.
MSG ·obert Blair
