M915A1 Fan Clutch Lubrication - don't overlook!

[martinwcox]

My fan clutch had seized making the fan run even when the engine was cold. Matt (ironmatt72) freed it up but is was obviously in need of lubrication. What's not obvious is that there is a grease fitting tucked away on the bottom, offset on one side, number 26 below:



TM's are just wonderful things!

Yep, that grease fitting can easily be over looked!

I wonder how many actually get lubed in service, I suspect few and even fewer in civilian hands!

I love the M915A1 that Mad Max looking grill and hood is the best!

I make sure to lube mine before any lengthy trip. Kinda the ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure principle.

Oh man...is that the same for an NHC250 ?

I need to open the TM's I guess.

Well for others don't forget the zert under the steering
box armor too. You need to pull the armor to squirt it.

I drove M915s for 2 1/2 years over the road in a transportation battalion out of Fort Campbell and I never once lubed anything.
