SEE Shock Mount Bolts
Use CAGE 64678 and PN 308765 020010 (until an NSN is available) when you order the upper
rear shock mount bolt for the small emplacement excavator. It’s shown as Item 3, Fig 190 of TM
5-2420-224-24P-1. Order the lower bolt that’s shown as Item 17 in Fig 193 with NSN 5305-01-
291-9074. Both the upper and lower bolts use the same washer and nut, shown as Items 1 & 2
in Fig 190. Make a note of these changes until they’re added to a revision or change to the
technical manual.
ice scraper
Be ready for winter by ordering an ice
scraper with NSN 7920-01-383-8023.
The scraper comes with a plastic bristle
brush on one end.
sidewalk salt
With winter just around the corner, it’s
time to stock up on sidewalk salt to
melt slippery snow and ice. NSN 6810-
00-227-0437 brings an 80-lb bag.
Black Hawk Greasing Info Wrong
Oops, we goofed. In PS 629, Page 38, we said rotate the rotor to lube grease points on the
Black Hawk’s swashplate. That was incorrect. Once the swashplate index marks are lined up,
engage the gust lock. Remove the inner retainer ring, and lube each grease fitting. But never
rotate the rotor head while the retainer is removed!
Don’t Use Swamper Tire!
Say it once, then say it again.
“Don’t use the
Super-Swamper tires on your HMMWV!”
Word from the field is these tires are still
showing up on trucks. Tests show this type of
tire does not hold up to heat and puts extra
wear and tear on the HMMWV’s suspension.
