O
ne of the last things a crewman wants to see is his vehicle’s load scattered out-and-
about on the trail.
So use NSN 3940-01-503-
8210 to get an adjustable cargo
net for the bustle rack on the
M1-series tank. The black-nylon
net hooks into place over the
bustle rack, and easily adjusts
for a snug fit.
A
three-position
molded
nylon clamp locks a clinching
rope, which goes around the
entire net.
Each net comes with a storage
bag and attachment instructions.
Use NSN 3940-01-503-8210 to get
a cargo net for bustle rack(s)
This
new
cargo net
is gonna save
me a whole
lot of
trouble!

A little sand
or a piece of
gravel that gets
caught under the
lower edge of
the lifting belt is
all it takes.
Without the belts, the
blade won’t raise or lower.
So check under the lifting
belts after every operation
and clean out any rocks
and sand you find.
Then replace damaged belts
using NSN 4020-01-289-8249.
The sand and gravel
grind away
at the
lifting belt, cutting
and tearing it.
Clean out rocks, sand
and other debris
great job
clearing
that mine
field today!
there’s some
sand
under my
liftng belts that’s
a
real grind.
Darn it!
I
wish there
was some way
to keep this
stuff from
falling out
of the bustle
rack!

Give Mine Blade Belts a Lift
Tarp Tiedown Kit
A snug fit is what you need when it comes to securing a tarp on the tank’s turret.
To help keep the tarp snug, use NSN 3990-01-512-9476 to get a universal quick tie-down
kit. The kit includes a black 12-foot nylon rope with adjustable locking device. At one end
of the rope is a powder-coated snap hook. A 2-in open hook attaches to the locking device
with its push release button.
thanks, but
how about a
little house-
keeping?
You’d be
wrong, though.
You’d think it
would take
a
lot
to bring
down something
as big as your
tank’s mine
clearing blade.
