Briefly Noted…
Dear Half-Mast,
I thought your article
in PS 621 (Aug 04)
on how to mount
machine guns did a
great job listing the
NSNs you need for all
the hardware. But you
forgot to mention the
M35 2 1/2-ton truck
and that's what my unit
has. Can you help?

Machine Gun Mounts…
Dear Chief K.W.,
Oops. To mount the M66 ring mount on the
M35A2 and M35A3 trucks, you need mounting kit
NSN 1005-01-226-4589. For the M35A2 you also
need cab reinforcement kit NSN 2590-01-322-2694.
The M35A3 doesn't need the reinforcement kit
because its cab is strong enough to bear the weight
of the M66.
For info on the mounting kit, see Fig 306 in TM 9-
2320-361-34P. For info on the cab reinforcement kit,
see Fig 318.

HMMWV…
Take the
‘Cut’
Out of Shortcut
W
hen hooking up a PLGR or GPS directly to the HMMWV’s batteries, taking a
shortcut will only create more work later.
Some operators run the power cable straight under the battery box lid. The lid
pinches the cable until the insulation wears out and the cable shorts. Your “shortcut”
has become a cut cable!
Your best bet is to run the power cable through the hole where the radio cables
are threaded and then out through the hole in the side of the battery box. It may take
a few minutes longer, but you’ll save time and prevent damage in the long run.
Thread power cable into hole here…
…and back
out through
hole in side
of battery
box
well, let’s
take care
of that
right now.
hey!
you
forgot
me
in
that big article
about mounting
machine guns
on trucks.

brings two bearings.
