M777A2 Parts Update
Operators and mechanics, make note of the following NSN
updates to TM 9-1025-215-24&P (EM 0274) for the M777A2
towed howitzer: The 300-320mm spanner wrench in Fig 20
now has an NSN. Order it with NSN 5120-12-381-2036 (PN
54841). The accumulator seal kit, NSN 1090-99-730-6603, in
Fig 91 has changed to NSN 1680-99-226-6690 (PN AMP 09 00
40000). The NSN for buffer seal kit was incorrectly listed in Fig
9589. The correct NSN is 1090-99-169-47
03
, not 47
30
. These
changes will be added during the next update to the TM.

binoculars, NSN 1240-01-499-3547, there are

34-ton flatbed semitrailer. It replaces NSN 3040-01-065-2021, which we listed on Page 16 of
PS 695 (Oct 10):
M978A4 HEMTT Tanker Pump
To get the HEMTT tanker’s primary pump,
use NSN 4320-01-579-1044. This NSN includes
the pump assembly w/motor and replaces
the parts info shown as Item 1 in Fig 433 of
TM 9-2320-326-14&P (EM 0288).
MRAP Arm Lift Kit
The MaxxPro Plus ambulance arm lift kit comes with NSN 2590-01-583-1145.
This kit prevents
the patient’s head (and/or spine) from bumping into the vehicle’s upper litter support arm.
Go to the Army Electronic Product Support (AEPS) website for the kit’s parts and installation
instructions. You’ll need your AKO login and password to access it:
MRAP M-ATV CV Joint Kits
When the CV joint boot gets ripped or torn
on the M-ATV’s front half-shaft, use NSN
2520-01-474-5708 to get a replacement kit
that includes the boot and clamps. For the
entire half-shaft assembly, which includes
the outer CV half-shaft, deflector, shaft
yoke, boot, clamps and tube shaft, use NSN
2520-01-474-5707. Both of these NSNs are
missing from TM 9-2355-335-24P.
Turn In M578
Recovery Vehicles
M578 recovery vehicles are no
longer supported by the Army.
Units need to take them off
their property books and turn
them over to their nearest
DRMO/DRMS. Also, this vehicle
system has no secondary items
in the supply chain. For more
information call TACOM’s major
item manager, Ms. Cynda Peter,
at DSN 786-5687 or (586) 282-
5687, or contact her by email:
cynda.peter@us.army.mil
M1079 FMTV Cargo Net
Get an interior cargo restraint net for the
shelf or floor area of the M1079 FMTV’s shop
van by using NSN 3940-01-477-7081. This net
helps secure cargo from bouncing around
inside the vehicle. A three-position molded
nylon clamp locks a clinching line around the
entire net. Each net comes with a storage
bag and attachment instructions.
Good heavens, Half-Mast!
Have I REALLY been sharing
preventive maintenance info with
the troops for that long?!
