Section I.
REPAIR PARTS, SPECIAL TOOLS, TEST, MEASUREMENT AND
DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT (TMDE) AND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT
For authorized common tools and equipment, refer to the Modified Table of Organization and Equipment (MTOE)
applicable to your unit.
Refer to Appendix B, the Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC) and Appendix F, Repair Parts and Special Tools
List (RPSTL), to determine special tools, TMDE and support equipment for the M3 CROP. No fabricated tools are
needed.
A trailer interface kit, consisting of metal spacers, is utilized for loading CROP on the PLS trailer. These spacers
are required because the CROP is shorter than the M1077 and M1077A1 Flatracks. The spacers are part of the
trailer, hence do not appear in this document.
If a CROP is pulled from an ISO container and is allowed to drop directly to the ground prior to loading on the PLS
truck, the rear bumpers can suffer damage. To preclude this, the use of ramps or platforms placed at the front of the
ISO container is encouraged. Directions for the manufacture of these items may be found at Appendix G.
