Apology to Mort Walker
We realized after PS 706 (Sep 11) was published that we had
failed to credit cartoonist Mort Walker. As many know, “Beetle
Bailey” and “SGT Snorkel” were created by Mr. Walker, and still
appear under his name in many newspapers today. While we
did give proper legal credit to King Features Syndicate on page
34, we regret not mentioning Mr. Walker.
MMIS to Host SOUMs and GPAs
The Modification Management Information System (MMIS) is now the Army’s compliance
reporting tool for all safety of use messages (SOUMs) and ground precautionary actions
(GPAs). All units with organizational equipment must apply for an MMIS account to view
safety messages and record compliance for their affected equipment. Units can access MMIS
at the website:
Bye Bye HMMWV Bias Tire
HMMWV bias tire, NSN 2610-01-171-4746, is now
obsolete. So all HMMWVS
must
convert by attrition to
radial tires. Do this by ordering the entire radial wheel
assembly. The load range E wheel assembly, NSN 2530-
01-563-8620, uses load range E tire, NSN 2610-01-563-
8328. The load range D wheel assembly, NSN 2530-01-
493-5859, uses load range D tire, NSN 2610-01-333-7632.
Be sure to keep tires on their rated wheels and never
install a load range E tire on a load range D wheel
assembly. Always check your HMMWV’s TM for the right
tire pressure.

M1A1 Tank Fire Control and Turret Drive NSN Changes
Mechanics, the NSNs for the azimuth servo valve and the electro-hydraulic drive unit on
the M1A1 tank’s fire control and turret drive have changed. Use NSN 4810-01-391-8454 (PN
9377768) to get a new azimuth servo valve. It replaces NSN 4810-01-076-6739 (PN 12283412),
which is shown as Item 27 in Fig 26 of TM 9-2350-264-24P-2 (Apr 03 w/Ch 6, Jul 09). A new
electro-hydraulic drive unit comes with NSN 1015-01-391-8457 (PN 9377770). It replaces NSN
1015-01-122-9401 (PN 12283102), which is shown as Item 13 in Fig 27 of TM 9-2350-264-24P-2.
Make a note until the TM is updated.
Terminal Item Issue Update
On Page 55 of PS 689 (Apr 10), we told you how to find replacement parts for terminal items in
FED LOG. Here’s an extra tip. If there are no replacement options, check the cannibalization point
or with local vendors. Some readers have found hoses and cylinders for older trucks this way.
