ord from the Feld is that the Gray model MM-2000 transmission jack, NSN 4910-
00-585-3622, can’t be installed correctly from
the side of the vehicle shown in the drawing in
Task 7-6 on Page 7-11 of TM 9-2320-280-34
(Jan 96, w/Ch 2, Jul 04). So TACOM LCMC
plans to make this clear in a future update to this
TM and TM 9-2320-387-24-2.
The transmission jack should only be installed
inline with the transmission,
not
at a 90° angle
to the transmission. The open front of the jack
should face the front of the vehicle. This allows
a support to be placed near the rear of the
engine. It also allows you to properly install the
transmission on the jack.
This same information is found in TACOM MAM 08-035. Use this link to eyeball
it online:
M88A1 Recovery Vehicle…
Pintle Needs PM, Too
HMMWV…
Transfer the Transmission Jack
drivers, the tow
pintle on your
m88a1 recovery
vehicle comes in
real handy when
you need to tow a
disabled vehicle.
that’s why it’s important
to keep the tow pintle
lubed regularly.
if you neglect it, the
pintle seizes up and won’t
open when you need it.
so lube the
pintle monthly
with gaa.
there are two
lube points
that are easy
to spot and
one that is
hidden behind
the pintle.
so make sure
you hit all
three with the
grease gun.
let’s go!
we’ve got a
disabled vehicle
to tow!
it couldn’t be
more disabled
than my tow
pintle!
you
never
lubed it!
well, it’s time
to remove your
transmission.
Install transmission jack
inline with transmission
well,
don’t
use the
procedure in
that
tm
to install the jack!
