MK 19 Tool for Armorers
MWO 9-1010-230-50-1 changes the MK 19 machine gun's fixed secondary
drive lever to an adjustable lever. The lever is adjusted with a tool, NSN
1005-01-467-9435, that is being sent free to units now. Armorers and direct
support maintenance will receive one tool per unit. You can use the tool
now to check for correct feed slide adjustment of the fixed secondary drive
lever. Instructions on how to check both levers come with the tool. Support
fixes the fixed lever, but you can adjust the adjustable lever with the tool.

der compression tester for the 8V71T

vehicle. NSN 4910-00-870-6283 listed for
Item 2 in Fig 67 of TM 9-2815-202-24P gets

faucet made to dispense potable water
from your M149-series water trailer. The

in TM 9-2330-267-14&P brings a faucet
that cannot be used for potable water.
Make a note until your TM is updated.
FMTV
C6 Transfer Bolt
The C6 transfer bolt, NSN 5306-01-480-
3141, used on basic model FMTVs should
be installed without any lube applied to
the bolt head or threads. The right
dry
torque for the bolt is 38-45 lb-ft.
FMTV
Towing Caution
Do not remove the driveshafts when flat
towing (all wheels on the ground) basic or
A1 model FMTVs as long as you
don’t go
more than 100 miles or faster than 35
mph.
Flat towing farther or faster will
damage the transmission. Lift towing
requires driveshaft removal for the axle
contacting the ground.
Note:
To prevent
driveshaft failure, use new end cap bolts,
NSN 5305-01-479-7857, when reattaching
any FMTV driveshaft. The new bolt
replaces the one currently found in FTMV
parts manuals.
M88A1 Seats
The driver’s and mechanic’s seats, NSN
2540-00-657-9725, for the M88A1 recov-
ery vehicle will no longer be available
once stocks are depleted. The replace-
ment seat comes as a two-piece set. NSN
2540-00-740-4668 gets the seat and NSN
2540-01-473-4063 brings the cushion.
Make a note until the items are added
to Fig 232 of TM 9-2350-256-24P-1.
M992A2 Oil Cooler
Item 7 in Fig 298A of TM 9-2350-293-
24P lists the wrong part number for the
M992A2 ammo carrier’s oil cooler. The
correct part number is B50-5577. That
crosses to NSN 2930-01-456-2586 on the
FED LOG-AMDF. Make a note until the
TM is updated.
M915A1
Fifth Wheel
Use NSN 2510-01-143-1218 to
get the tractor truck’s fifth
wheel assembly. The part num-
ber for Item 6 in Fig 114 of
