Sleeves protect hoses
echanics, the hydraulic hoses under the SEE’s backhoe get a raw deal. The
hoses rub against the vehicle’s frame when the backhoe is extended or retracted.
All that rubbing can wear holes in the hoses, leading to fluid leaks and no
backhoe operations.
Eyeball the hoses for wear marks. If you see any, protect the hose. You can
wrap a piece of rubber tubing around it, or add the protective sleeve, NSN 5970-
01-244-6762, shown as Item 33 in Fig 285 of TM 5-2420-224-24P. Hold the
tubing or sleeve in place with a tie strap, NSN 5975-00-570-9598.
