Because Doghead is in my Doghouse for 40 days and 40 nights he will post from TM 9-2320-289-20P figure 32 and pages 32-1 and Index page I-109 so you can see what I'm talking about below.
So as I posted the other day my truck starter conked out after cranking about 1/2 a second. Since it was a sand storm at the time, I opted to walk the mile home and deal with the truck after the storm.
I had a replacement started that had been the original one on this truck when I bought it. It was bad at that time and I had it rebuilt and it was already sitting on my shelf. Learning point is, if you're gonna buy a CUCV, always have a spare starter AND at least one alternator. So as I'm dropping the starter I notice 2 things.
1. The forward bolt holding the starter was missing.
2. The front wires were hanging loose.
3. The starter appeared to have taken a hit and one of the bolts that one of the wires connected to was bent.
So instead of rumaging around the garage attempting to find the right bolt, it was easier to look it up and then go to the store and get the right one.
Using the TM 9-2320-289-20P (P for parts) manual that is available in the resources section, I did a search on starter. Sure enough it came up as figure 32. Next found the bolt, item 4. There are several ways to do the next step but my favorite is to go to the back of the index (in the case of the CUCV since some manuals have this information on the page accompanying the picture such as the HMMWV manual). Then using the index page (in this case I-109) found figure 32, item 4 and it gave me the following information
32 4 5306-01-165-5583 11862 14060613
I know off the top of my head that the number (cage code) 11862 is for Chevorlet. So Chevorlet part number 14060613 is what I need. Since I'm not about to pay $10for a bolt, I want the characteristics so I can buy one at O'Reilly's. So I go to the internet and punch in the NSN 5306-01-165-5583. Many of the govt parts suppliers will pop up but you just need to go through the various a-holes until you find the one that gives you the characteriestics. In this case the ISO Group Sustainment Partners gave me the answer I need.
So it is a 8mm thread diameter that is 20mm overall length. No guessing now and it is off to the store.
