The SEE’s backhoe travel lock needs
lube but often doesn’t get it because
it’s out of sight. You have to climb on
top of the vehicle and reach over be-
hind the cab to get to it.
But without lube, the backhoe won’t
snap firmly into the travel lock even if
you follow the procedures in the -10
TM. Then the backhoe bangs up and
down during transport and the lock
breaks along its welds.
NSN 3815-01-
285-2300 gets
the newer
wrap-around
lock
So keep the backhoe lock lubed. Dur-
ing scheduled services, give the fitting
four to five pumps of grease.
If the lock’s welds are already bro-
ken, have your mechanic replace the
lock with the newer wrap-around lock,
NSN 3815-01-285-2300. This gets you
the travel lock with mounting hard-
ware, bail and bail pad, latch and in-
stallation instructions.
