HQDA
G-8 is requesting units improve equipment-on-hand quantities and readiness
ratings by reporting authorized equipment substitutions. The most accurate reference
for authorized substitutions on the MTOE is Supply Bulletin 700-20, Appendix H.
One common oversight is referencing LINs on the MTOE without taking into account
authorized substitutions. This may result in a lower and incorrect readiness rating
reported to HQDA, and reflect poorly on a unit.
Soldiers, take the lead by identifying excess items that can be used as authorized
substitutes for shortage items, to include checking non-standard LINs.

M1-Series Tank Turret
Lifting Device Bolts Revisited
On Page 5 of PS 684 (Nov 09), we told
you how to take care of the 11 bolt holes
used for the turret lifting device on your
M1-series tank. We forgot to mention you
should also include a flat washer, NSN 5310-
01-382-9030, with each bolt used to protect
the threaded holes. The washer keeps the
bolt head from damaging the threads when
it’s tightened down.
John Deere Parts
Trying to get parts for John Deere construction
equipment from the Army’s supply system
can be a little frustrating, especially if you’re
in Iraq. If you can’t get the parts through the
supply system order them from this dealer:
Khudairi Group (Iraq)
P.O. Box 3271 Sa’adoun
Dist. 101/St. 87/No. 25
Baghdad, Iraq

M2/M3, M2A1/M3A1 Bradley Drain Plug
Need a new Fnal drive drain plug for your M2/M3 or M2A1/M3A1 Bradley? Don’t order the
one shown as Item 1 in ±ig 12 of TM 9-2350-252-24P-1 (Mar 97). NSN 4730-00-010-3867 is too
small. Get the correct drain plug with NSN 4730-00-640-0279 (PN WW-P-471ACBBCG).
