Dear Half-Mast,
Our unit needs tires for the Model 763 and S150 compact skid-steer
loaders, also known as the Bobcat.
We’ve got the NSNs for the Bobcat’s regular tires, but these tires aren’t
foam-filled like the ones that come from the factory. If we order the regular
tire, we install them and take the vehicle to a dealer that foam fills each
tire–at $200 bucks a pop!
Also, units in Afghanistan do not have local dealers in country. Is there a
better option to get a tire or wheel assembly that fits the bill?
Mr. J.C.B.
Dear Mr. J.C.B.,
Your best bet is to drop the foam-Flled tire and order a
wheel assembly that comes with a solid tire and rim.
NSN 2630-01-581-5180 gets an assembly for the left side
(front or back) of the vehicle. Use NSN 2630-01-581-5183
to get a wheel assembly for the right side of the vehicle.
Reports from the Feld tell us this assembly is very durable
and holds up well in the rough terrain of Afghanistan.
If you have questions about Bobcat parts, visit the
manufacturer’s website:
Or you can contact them directly by
asking for Mr. Dennis Schwind in the parts
department at (701) 222-5349.
O
perators, keep this tip in mind when powering up your XM1216 small unmanned ground
vehicle (SUGV) system.
Once the operator control unit (OCU) is powered-up, press the robot’s power button for
only
1 second,
then release it.
If you hold down the button longer, “Fiber Enabled” will display on the chassis’s LCD
screen and a red glow will be seen coming from the chassis camera window.
If you accidentally hold down the power button for longer than 1 second, allow the
system to complete the power-up sequence, then reboot the SUGV. Follow the system
reboot procedures in WP 0016 of TM 9-2350-397-13&P (Aug 11).
