the turnbutton fastener
that’s used to secure the
soft cover to the vehicle’s
bow enclosures. This NSN

Turn in FITS
If your motor pool has a fuel injection
pump test stand (FITS), NSNs 4910-01-
194-7667 or 4910-01-316-6176, that’s no
longer needed or is unserviceable,
TACOM-Rock Island would like to know
about it. They have a contract to upgrade
FITS and they need test stands. Contact
TACOM-RI at DSN 793-5074 /(309) 782-

Tactical Wheels…

echanics, not getting everything lined up
when you wrestle a truck’s wheel and hub
assembly back onto an axle can cause axle
damage.
That damage includes mangled threads,
leaky seals and leaky bearings!
Head off wheel and axle damage as well as
a sore back by using the wheel lift, NSN 4910-
00-554-5983, from the Common shop sets.
Even when you use the lift, get a buddy to
help you. An extra pair of eyes can make sure
everything is lined up.
So what about repair parts NSNs? There are
none.
You can get parts by writing to:
Nestor Sales LLC
7337 Bryan Dairy Road
Largo, FL 33777
Or you can call them at (727) 544-6114.
Ext. 347 gets the government sales and repair
parts office.
Wheel lift makes
alignment easy
ohh,

ohh,
my
threads…
this wheel
lift sure is
a
back
saver!
and an
axle
thread
saver,
too!
Poor alignment causes

efore you screw the fuel cap
back in place on your
HEMTT, take a look at the
cap’s gasket, operators.
Dirt and sand around the
rim of the filler neck—and
just plain old wear and tear—
can cut, gouge and wear away
the gasket. Enough damage
lets dirt, sand and water get
inside your fuel tank.
If the gasket’s damaged,
order a new fuel cap, NSN
ket itself has no replacement.
Check
gasket
for
damage
HEMTTs…
poor gasket pm
is
your
invitation
to enter the
fuel tank!
