Replacement Landing Leg
For M105A3 trailers:
TACOM LCMC’s GPA 09-019 tells users to replace original model landing
legs on M105A3 trailers with new ones. These stronger and safer landing legs
come with NSN 2590-01-564-2057 and are provided with MWO 9-2330-324-
23-1. Eyeball this message online for more details:
And it’s no secret that the landing
legs on both trailers are tough to
raise and lower. Get a landing leg
assist lever with NSN 5340-01-557-
0024. The added leverage makes
raising and lowering the legs easier.
It can be released from its locked
position in one motion. Plus, the
assist lever fts into position without
drilling or modifcations.
For M200A1 trailers:
You know how hard it is to
raise
and
lower
the
M200A1
trailer’s landing leg into position.
Tired of getting down on the
ground, smashing your fngers
and scraping your knuckles? Then
get the jack support platform with
NSN 4910-01-571-8444. It works
with levers, making raising and
lowering the leg easier.
Cover
all line replaceable units (LRUs) with a tarp or
plastic before you go through a wash rack.
Don’t
use high pressure water or steam to clean the
inside or the rear of the launcher or in the carrier vehicle
bed. High pressure water can force its way inside high-
dollar electrical equipment like LRUs. The water causes
electrical shorts, corrodes connectors and receptacles,
ruins circuit cards, and just generally wreaks all kinds of
expensive damage.
