FY00 MAINTENANCE AWARDS
CORRECTION
Page 56 of PS 584 lists FORSCOM as the
major command (MACOM) for the Active
Army TDA Intermediate (206th MI Bn) and
Heavy (527th MI Bn) Category winners of
the FY00 Maintenance Excellence Awards.
The correct MACOM for both units is the
US
Army
Intelligence
and
Security
Command (INSCOM).

TM 9-1095-208-10-1 authorizes mounting
the Volcano on the FMTV's M1090 5-ton
dump truck. To do that, you need an
adapter kit, which you can get for free by
contacting the Armament Research,
Development and Engineering Center's
ARDEC at:
restaino@pica.army.mil
.
(Mounting the Volcano on the FMTV 5-ton
cargo truck is not authorized.) If you have

PLS Flatrack Box Door
If you ordered the right-hand
stowage box door, NSN 2540-01-373-
6510, for the M1077 flatrack and
received one that’s the wrong size,
order another
one. Then contact the
Defense Supply Center-Columbus’
Will Kern about submitting a Quality
Deficiency Report for that bum door
and any others you may have on-
hand. His numbers are DSN 850- 2806,
(614) 692-2806; fax DSN 850-1402,
(614) 692-1402; e-mail
wilhelm.

. Faulty stock at
the depot has been purged, so new
requests will get the right door.
Bradley
Bore Brush Bag
Need a new carrying bag for your
M2/M3-series Bradley’s 25mm bore
brushes? Get it with NSN 5140-00-
473- 6256. The bag’s not listed with
the bore brushes in Appendix B
of the -10-2 TMs.
M872A2 Trailer
CORRECTION
In PS 580, Page 11, we said you could mix
radial and bias tires on different axles of
the M872A2 trailer. That is wrong! The
trailer must use all radial tires or all bias
tires, not a mix. Mixing tire types can
cause loss of steering control, poor han-
dling, tire failure and equipment damage.
C-2298 Mounting Plate
If the mounting plate for the AN/VIC-
1 intercom’s C-2298 control box is
missing from your M113-series FOV,
you won’t find a replacement in the
parts manuals.
Get a new mounting
plate with NSN 5820-00-875-0893.
If your Paladin's left or right taillight,
NSN 6220-00-669-5623 or 6620-00-
337-6471, gets wet because of a miss-
ing or damaged gasket, don't order a
whole new taillight. Instead, get a
new gasket with NSN 5330-00-297-
7106. Then, make a note until the
gasket is added to Fig 69 of TM
9-2350-314-24P-1.
Fuel Tanker Valve
Replacement
Vibration does a job on the
brass
butterfly
valve on the Onan engine used on 5,000-gal
fuel tankers. So Tank-automotive and
Armaments Command wants you to change
it to
a stainless steel
valve, NSN 4820-01-
145-4185. Make a note for Item 3 in Fig 64
of TM 9-2330-356-24P for M967/M967A1,
M969/M969A1 and M970/M970A1 tankers
and for Item 3 in Fig 39 in TM 9-2330-398-
24P for M969A2 tankers.
RS-28 Roller Headlight Bulb
Order NSN 6240-00-836-2079 if you need
only the bulb for the roller's headlight
assembly.
The NSN shown as Item 1 in Fig
51 of TM 5-3895-346-24P gets the whole
assembly
RS-28 Roller Headlight Bulb
M17 Decon Belt
The NSN listed for the M17 decon
unit's water pump/engine drive belt
(Item 2, Fig C-4) in TM 3-4230-228-
23&P is wrong. To order the belt, use
NSN 3030-01-238-2368. Make a note
until the TM is updated.
M249 BFA
The NSN listed for the M249 machine
gun's blank firing attachment (BFA)
on Page C-5 in TM 9-1005-201-10 is no
longer good. Use NSN 1005-21-912-
8997 instead.
Order sling strap, NSN 8465-00-269-0682,
to carry your RL-39 reel.
It has replaced
straps ST-34, NSN 8465-00-498-7991, and
ST-35, NSN 8465-00-498-7992, which are
no longer available.
