Tactical Grounding Pamphlet
If it’s your job to ground or bond tactical
equipment, you can’t do the job right
without CECOM TR-98-6,
Earth Grounding
and Bonding Pamphlet: A Guide to Proper
Grounding and Bonding Methods for Use
with Tactical Systems.
The pamphlet is 46
pages of good grounding info and PS will
email it to you as a PDF file. Just write to

3-KW TQG Freq
Converter Change
Item 49 of Fig 2 in TM 9-6115-639- 23P gives you
a choice of two frequency converters for the
3-KW TQG—a 60-Hz and a 400-Hz model. But
the part numbers are flopped! Pencil that
change in your paper TM and then order a 60-Hz
converter (the one you probably want) with NSN
5895-01-477-0855 and a 400-Hz converter with
NSN 5895-01-477-0858.
Solvent Gloves NSN
Need some protective gloves
to use while working in a sol-
vent tank? Get them with NSN
8415-00-266-8675. They’re the
gloves found in the No. 1
Common tool set. They’re
rubber, size 11, 14 inches in
length, with a gauntlet cuff.

the troops who
kept your vehicles
ready for war.
The winners are…
M113A3 Steer Lock Conversion
Mechanics, hold off on replacing a bad electrical steer lock solenoid, NSN 5945-00-933-8450, on
the M113A3 FOV. Instead, get your DS to install the new electrical-to-mechanical conversion kit,
NSN 2520-01-434-8596. At around $435, the kit costs more than a new electrical solenoid, but
it also lasts a lot longer.
