Backhoe Loader
Roof Pad NSN
On Page 21 of PS 729 (Aug 13), we said you
could get a new roof pad for your backhoe
loader (BHL) with NSN 2510-01-582-5088.
Turns out that NSN actually brings a roll of
door seal insulation. The correct NSN for the
roof pad is 2540-01-548-9159.

566-3948 (PN 87724851), which is shown as
Item 36 in Fig 66 of TM 5-3805-292-23P (Mar
10), brings a gasket, not the door assembly.

Need to order a new wheel hub assembly seal for your M1070A0/A1 HET? Get it with NSN 5330-
01-549-9595. That replaces NSN 5330-01-350-2906, which is shown as Item 3 in Fig 164 of TM

The old NSN is a terminal item.

spider with 10 unthreaded holes comes with NSN

Soutache Braid in the ASU Pocket
There is no NSN for the soutache braid worn on the sleeve of your blue Army service uniform
(ASU). The Army issues the blue ASU coat with the braid inside one of the pockets. So, check all
the pockets when you receive your coat.
If you don’t find the braid, contact the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing
and Textiles Army Recruit Clothing Team:
Ellen Henning at (215) 737-2482, or email:
ellen.henning@dla.mil
Or Gerald Iuliucci, (215) 737-8610, or email:
gerald.iuliucci@dla.mil
They’ll work with the vendor to have the braid sent directly to you.

PLS Basic
First Aid Kit
The basic first aid kit, NSN 6545-00-922-
1200, is a basic issue item (BII) for the
M1074/A1
and
